- Question-1 A typical consumer has a well-behaved preference structure for his consumption bundle which includes only two goods, A and B. Assume that commodity A is normal and commodity B is inferior. By keeping commodity A on the x-axis and commodity B on the y-axis you are required to show the price decomposition for commodity B when $PB increases exogenously relative to $PA. Provide a well-labelled and fully explained-legible diagram.Question-1 It is given that a typical consumer has a well-behaved preference structure for his consumption bundle which includes only two goods, A and B. Further assume that commodity A is normal and commodity B is inferior. By keeping commodity A on the x-axis and commodity B on the y-axis you are required to show the price decomposition for commodity B when $PB increases exogenously relative to $PA. Provide a well-labelled and fully explained-legible diagram.If the consumer thinks that (x₁,x2) is at least as good as (y₁.42) and that (y₁y2) is at least as good as (x₁,x2), we can conclude that (look at the following options)
- Mats, who has reference-dependent preferences over beer and money, goes to the local pub with a friend, but is not planning on drinking any beer or spending any of his 50 Euro in cash. Let his end-of-evening outcomes in pints of beer consumed and cash be c1 and c2, respectively, and let his reference point in pints of beer and cash be r1 and r2, respectively. Then, Mats’ utility is given by v(6c1 − 6r1) + v(c2 − r2), where v(x) = x for x ≥ 0, and v(x) = 1.5x for x < 0. (a) Suppose that the price of beer is pB. Calculate Mats’ utility from drinking one pint of beer at this price. What is Mats’ utility from drinking no beer? And, comparing these two utility values, what is the maximum price pB that Mats would pay for one beer? (b) Suppose that Mats unexpectedly gets a pint of beer as part of a promotion at the pub, and incorporates its consumption into his reference point in beer. [Hint: this means that (r1, r2) = (1, 50).] Suppose that Mats could sell the beer at a price pS.…Suppose Mr. and Mrs. Ward agreed not to vote in tomorrow’s election. Would such an agreement improve utility? Would such an agreement be an equilibrium?Bart and Lisa are both optimizing consumers in the market for shirts and hats, where they pay $100 for a shirt and $50 for a hat. Bart buys 8 shirts and 4 hats, while Lisa buys 6 shirts and 12 hats. From this information, ignoring the minus sign, we can infer that Bart's marginal rate of substiution is _________ hats per shirt, while Lisa's is __________ hat's per shirt
- ***PLEASE NOTE: QUESTION HAS TWO PARTS REQUIRING ANSWER*** Q: Johnny Football has a utility function of the form ? = √?. Johnny is beginning his senior year of college football. If he is not seriously injured, he will receive a $1,000,000 contract for playing professional football. If any injury ends his football career, he will take a job as a refuse removal facilitator in his hometown that pays $10,000. There is a 10% chance that Johnny will be injured badly enough to end his career. a. What is Johnny’s expected utility? b. How much would Johnny be willing to pay to remove the financial riskhe faces? That is, what $p would he pay for a $1,000,000 insurancepolicy so that he would have $1,000,000-$p even if he had a seriousinjury? Assume he wouldn’t work for $10,000 if he had the insuranceand he was injured. Hint: You should set his utility with certainty(U($1,000,000-$p)) equal to his expected utility with risk (found inpart a) and solve for p.1- A consumer who starts (i.e. has an endowment) at point B, and has preferences shown by IC1, will want to borrow. Select one: True False 2-Assuming a mix of present and future consumption is preferred, ANY consumer who starts (i.e. has an endowment) at point A will gain utility from a rise in interest rates. Select one: True False 3-A consumer who starts at point B will want to borrow, but as little as possible in order to minimise the cost of interest. Select one: True False 4-If a consumer starts at point A, and then receives extra income in the present, this would appear as an outward shift of the budget constraint. Select one: True FalseConsider a hypothetical consumer named Hayden who is shopping for bread and brie. The graph with bread and brie on the axes presents the utility‑maximizing combinations of bread and brie that Hayden chooses when the price of bread is $1.00$1.00 per loaf and the price of brie is $4.00$4.00 and $6.00$6.00 per wheel, respectively. The other graph shows Hayden's demand curve for brie. The two points and associated values in the graph for bread and brie combinations correspond to points A and B in the graph of the demand curve for brie. What are the specific prices and quantities of brie associated with points A and B on Hayden's demand curve? price of brie at point A: $$ quantity demanded at point A: price of brie at point B: $$ quantity demanded at point B:
- Arif and Aisha agree to meet for a date at a local dance club next week. In their enthusiasm, they forget to agree which venue will be the site of their meeting. Luckily the town has only two dancing venues, Palms and Oasis. Having discussed their tastes in dancing venues last week, both know that Arif prefers Palms to the Oasis and Aisha prefers the Oasis to Palms. In fact, their payoffs reflect that if both go to Oasis, Aisha’s utility is 3 and Arif’s 2, while if both go to Palms Arif’s utility is 3 and Aisha’s is 2. If they do not go to the same venue, then they both have a utility of 0. Calculate mixed strategy equilibria, if any, and then derive the probability that Arif and Aisha will find themselves at the same venue.Arif and Aisha agree to meet for a date at a local dance club next week.
