Who determines how much utility an individual will receive from consuming a good?
The rules of politics are not always the same as the rules of economics. In discussions of setting budgets for government agencies, there is a strategy called closing the Washington Monument. When an agency faces the unwelcome prospect of a budget cut, it may decide to close a high-visibility attraction enjoyed by many people (like the Washington Monument). Explain in terms of diminishing marginal utility why the Washington Monument strategy is So misleading. Hint: If you are really trying to make the best of a budget cut, should you cut the items in your budget with tile highest marginal utility or line lowest marginal utility? Does the Washington Monument strategy cut the items with the highest marginal utility or line lowest marginal utility?

4. URGENT Given that maximize utility of two goods, x and y, is where MUx/Px=MUy/Py MUx/MUy=Px/Py , where MU is marginal utility, and P is price. a. Explain what happens to the marginal utility of x, when more of x is consumed. b. Explain what a rational person should do when MUx/Px>MUy/Py , and how each MU, and MU/P changes or not. c. Graph and explain the intercepts and the slope of the budget line (constraint) when the budget is 100 and the price of x is 5 and the price of y is 4. d. Graph and explain an indifference curve that is tangent to a budget line. This is a general graph with no numbers.

The price of apples is $1, the price of bananas is $2, and Charlie’s income is $40. The price of bananas suddenly falls to $1. (a) Before the price change, how many apples and bananas did Charlie consume? (b) After the price change, how many apples and bananas did Charlie consume?

(a) A consumer has utility u(x,y,z) = ln(x) + 2ln(y) + 3ln(z) over the three goods, x,y and z and pz=1. Optimally she consumes 30 units of z. What is her income? How much money does she spend on x? (HINT: MUx = 1/x, MUy= 2/y, MUz = 3/z and remeber the "equivalent bang for the buck" condition). (b) Forget about (a). Suppose you have t= 29 hours in total to spend on 3 projects X,Y and Z to make some money. If you spend x hours on project X, you make 2 sqrt(x) dollars; If you spend y hours on project Y, you make 3 sqrt(y) dollars; If you spend z hours on project Z, you make 4sqrt(z) dollars; Writing down your "utility function" u(x,y,z) and the constraint, solve the utility maximization problem; what is the optimal amount of time to spend on x? on y? on z?
Jeremy has a monthly income of $60. He spends his money making telephone calls (good ?, measured in minutes) at a price of ?? and on other composite good ?, whose price has been normalized to one, meaning ?? = $1. His mobile phone company offers him two plans: plan A, in which he pays no monthly fee and makes calls for $0.50 per minute, or plan B, in which he pays a $20 monthly fee and benefits from cheaper phone calls at $0.20 per minute.(a) Depict Jeremy’s budget constraint under each of the two plans, with the number of phone calls (good ?) in the horizontal axis and the composite good (good ?) in the vertical axis. (b) If Jeremy mentioned that plan A is better for him, what is the set of consumption bundles he may purchase if his behavior is consistent with WARP?
