4. Show how to construct the reference dependent utility function for two friends Kate and Mary whose gains and losses are listed as follows : Kate's net worth is $ 4.5 million ( decreased from $ 5.5 to $ 4.5 million ) Mary's net worth $ 3.2 million ( increased from $ 3 to $ 3.2 million ) ( First determine the reference point ( use a parameter ) and then derive reference utility function for each ) .
Question Earlier this year, 2021, the price of chicken meat rose unexpectedly reached to 250/ kilo at peak from the previous price of 170/ kilo. This 68% increase of price per kilo was primarily caused by excess demand for chicken meat. This is the result of the decrease in consumption for pork meat due to the threat of African Swine Flu (ASF). However, even though consumer shifted preferences, the increase in the price of chicken was perceived to be too high for the budget of consumers. Therefore, sellers realized decrease in their daily aggregate sales from 1,000 kilos to 700 kilos. 1. Illustrate the change in the market equilibrium through a graph. 2. What presumably happened to the total revenues of the sellers during the price hike period? a.) Compute the price elasticity of demand b.) Derive the total revenue before the hike (TR1), and after the hike (TR2).

Question3 a) Suppose a household is faced with the choice between consuming gasoline (G) and all other goods (OG). Today the household consumes 800 liter of gasoline a year.Suppose then that a gasoline price increase is perfectly compensated by a wage increase. If the family followed the utility maximization model, how would this affect their consumption of gasoline? Explain by using a figure. b) Explain by using an example why an MRS (Marginal Rate of Substitution) between two goods must equal the ratio of the price of the goods for the consumer to achieve maximum satisfaction?
2. Gorgeousleny purchased a combination of 15 breads and 5 juices with her income of P150 and price of bread is P6 and price of juice is P12. She proudly showed this to her mom, and to her dismay her mom said that she likes more juices than bread since its summer season. While on her way home she lost the receipt, but fortunately she can still receive store credit based from the total value of products. While approaching the customer service representative , she thought of this what if she sticks with her original plan of buying bread alone with no juice and vice versa. At the moment all juices in the store is 50% off. Draw the graph showing the budget constraints arise from endowments. a. ) Measure the qty. of bread on the vertical axis and the qty. of juice on the horizontal axis.

E1 Suppose the Federal Government issues $100 worth of food stamps to everyone in your city. These stamps are coupons that can be exchanged for $100 worth of food at the grocery store and they can be used only by the person to whom they are issued. Draw your budgetline between “food’ and “all other goods” both before and after the food stamps are issued. Assume the price of food = price of “all other goods” = $1.00 and the individual’s initial income is $200.
