- Why tY not substituted for T?Eren’s two main hobbies are taking vacations overseas (V) and eating expensivemeals (M). His utility function is given as: U(V,M) = V2MLast year, the average price of taking a vacation overseas was US$200 and the averageprice of an expensive meal is $50. However, due to supply problems in Onions, theaverage price of an expensive meal rose to $75. The average price of a vacation did notchange. His income, which is $1500, did not change. Suppose that the Department of Welfare wants to know how much should begiven to Eren to offset his change un utility due to the price increase of an expensivemeal. Calculate the compensative variation (CV).Eren’s two main hobbies are taking vacations overseas (V) and eating expensivemeals (M).

However, due to supply problems in Onions, theaverage price of an expensive meal rose to $75. The average price of a vacation did notchange. His income, which is $1500, did not change. Calculate the change in consumer surplus from consuming the expensivemeals considering the price change (Hint: you need to compare his optimalconsumption bundle before and after the price change to get the change in CS).Q5 plz help quick The marginal rate of substitution of nickels for dimes is O negative and constant. O negative but varies from point to point on a given indifference curve. O zero. positive but decreases as the number of Nicole's increasesDraw the indifference curve for someone decidinghow to allocate time between work and leisure.Suppose the wage increases. Is it possible that theperson’s consumption would fall? Is this plausible?Discuss. (Hint: Think about income and substitutioneffects.)

- Suppose there are two goods, co ee (C) and tea (T). The consump-tion set is R2+, so both goods can be consumed in arbitrary non-negativequantities.Abdul owns 2000 grams of co ee but does not own any tea. He hasno other wealth. The price of co ee is pC = 2 (in Dhs per gram) andthe price of tea is pT > 0 (in Dhs per gram). Abdul can sell co ee toearn income, which he can then use to buy tea or co ee. He can alsothrow co ee away (at no cost).Abdul's preferences can be represented by the utility functionu(c; t) = -(800 - c)2 - (800 - t)2;where c is the quantity of co ee (in grams) and t is the quantity of tea(in grams).(a) In separate diagrams, illustrate (i) the map of Abdul's indi erencecurves, (ii) Abdul's constraint set.(b) How much co ee and tea does Abdul decide to consume when (i)pT = 2, (ii) pT = 3, and (iii) pT = 4?(c) Illustrate Abdul's demand for co ee as a function of the price of tea (pT > 0) in an appropriate diagram.Elaborate and explain income effect in case of inferior goods.1. Second Fundamental Theorem of Welfare Economicsa. Describe the theorem, making sure that you define clearly the terms used in thedescription (e.g. if you use the term “efficient” you have to describe what this means).b. Explain why the theorem implies that there is no intrinsic trade-off between efficiencyand interpersonal equity. c. Demonstrate your argument using an Edgeworth box, making sure that you describe allthe elements of the box appropriately.
