- Pareto eliminated psychology from economics:a. by defining utility as ordinal, not cardinal utilityb. searching for secondary qualities of thingsc. defined rationality as consumer behavior only after they have bought something several timesd. by accepting revealed preference.why convex: The budget set consists of all convex combinations of the points How to know these: can you show each the points can be derive (0, 0), (0, w/p2), (2,(w p1)/p2), and (1 + w/p1, 0). The upper-right boundary of this region consists of two line segments meeting at a kink, with the segment to the left of the kink being flatter than the one to the right. b) how to solve it?4 Assume that a person's utility over two goods is given by U(g1; g2) = g1 + ln g2. The price of good g1 is equal to p1 and the price of good g2 is p2. The total income of the individual is given by I. The marginal rate of substitution between g1 and g2 is given by 1/(1/g2). Then, the expressions for this person's (1) budget constraint, (2) budget line's slope (assume that, graphically, g1 is on the horizontal axis and g2 on the vertical axis), and (3) the person's demand function for g2 (that is, g2 as a function of price ratio) are respectively:
- please only do: if you can teach explain each why convex: The budget set consists of all convex combinations of the points How to know these: can you show each the points can be derive (0, 0), (0, w/p2), (2,(w p1)/p2), and (1 + w/p1, 0). The upper-right boundary of this region consists of two line segments meeting at a kink, with the segment to the left of the kink being flatter than the one to the right. b) how to solve it?It is given that the price of goods X and Y are both Rs.10 each, a consumer consumes 10 units of X and 10 units of Y at equilibrium.a. Draw the budget line and indifference curve and show the point of consumer equilibrium. b. If the price of X falls to Rs.5, PY and money income remaining the same, what is the real income increase?c. At the new equilibrium caused by a fall in price of X, the consumer has a combination of 16 units of X and 12 units of Y. Show the price effect of a change in price of X using the PCC.d. Why are more units of Y consumed even though its price has not fallen?a good is normal, then an increase in the price of the good will lead to which of the following to be true for this good? (Assume that there are only two goods, the individual's preferences lead to well-behaved preferences with strictly convex indifference curves and an interior solution for all budgets). Let SE = substitution effect, IE = income effect) (a) The magnitude of the IE for this good must be larger than the magnitude of the SE (b) The magnitude of the SE for this good must be larger than the magnitude of the IE (c) The good could be a Giffen good d) The good must be an ordinary good ( (e) None of the above
- 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 sheconsumes 30 units of z. What is her income? How much money does she spend on x?(HINT: MUX =??, MUY =??, MUZ =??and remember 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√? dollars;If you spend y hours on project Y, you make ?√? dollars;If you spend z hours on project Z, you make ?√? dollars;Writing down your “utility function” u(x,y,z) and the constraint, solve the utility maximization problem; what isthe optimal amount of time to spend on x ? on y? on z ?Suppose a consumer has a monthly income of m = 100 which she spendson two commodities: french fries (x1) and beef jerky (x2). The price offrench fries is p1 = 2 and the price of beef jerky is p2 = 5. (e) What is the slope of the budget line? Provide an economicinterpretation of this number.(f) Because of Mad Cow Disease, the price of beef jerky increasesto $10 (lower supply of beef). On a new graph, plot the originaland new budget constraint clearly identifying how the budgetconstraint has changed. What is the new relative price of beefjerky in terms of french fries?(g) Because of severe shortages, Congress passes the Jerky ReliefAct which limits each consumer to purchase at most 5 packs ofjerky. Show on a graph how this affects the consumer’s budgetset. Answer all three.Let the following table represents the total utility of a given consumer, in the cardinal utility approach. Q 1 2 3 4 5 Tux 8 14 18 20 20 Tuy 6 10 13 15 16 Mux Muy Mux/px Muy/py D) Assuming the consumer has any amount of money (enough budget) how many of X and Y should the consumer buy, to maximize utility? E) What is the total utility of X and Y? F) Let now price of X is 4 birr per unit and price of Y is 2 birr per unit and budget of the consumer for consumption of X and Y is 20 birr. Given budget constraint how many of X and Y should the consumer buy to maximize utility? G) What are the total utility of X and Y
- Let MUA = z = 10 − x and MUB = z = 21 − 2y, where z is marginal utility per dollar measured in utils, x is the amount spent on product A, and y is the amount spent on product B. Assume that the consumer has $10 to spend on A and B—that is, x + y = 10. How is the $10 best allocated between A and B? How much utility will the marginal dollar yield?True or false with reasoning 1)_______When an extra glass of wine is consumed, the total utility gained from the consumption changes by an amount of the marginal utility of all goods consumed. 2)_______Suppose that you consume two goods A and B, and that MUA/PA = 2 and MUB/PB = 4. With a given income and prices, the consumer will purchase more of good A and less of good B. 3)_______If you consume two goods, X and Y, and MUX > MUY, then you are willing to pay more for good X than for good Y.please only do: if you can teach explain each partc: what does it mean? can you show graphs: For these to be optimal choices with such preferences, the indifference curve through a must lie entirely on or above the budget line associated with (p, w), and simi- larly for r' for the budget line associated with (p', w'). how do you know this:Because each of these bundles lies below the other budget line, this implies that the indifference curves must cross, which is impossible. can you show graphs: note that (3,1) is a conver combination of x and x', so for conver preferences must be weakly preferred to x (the less preferred bundle between a and a'). But then the bundle (3,5/3) must be strictly preferred z, contradicting that is optimal given the initial budget set
