- Take Jeremys total utility information in Exercise 6.1, and use the marginal utility approach to confirm the choice of phone minutes and round trips that maximize Jeremys utility.Charlie eats only pizzas and fruit salads which are discrete goods. Each pizza has 1000kcal, and each fruit salads has 250kcal. The price of one fruit salad is £3, and the price of a pizza is £8. Charlie spends his entire budget on consumption and eats everything that he buys. He consumes no less than 1600 kcal per week and no more than 2500 kcal per week. Which of the following is true? a. His income must be between £16 and £30. b. He always spends at least half of his income on pizzas. c. He eats at least one pizza per week. d. He eats at least 2 fruit salads per week.Question 2 David spends his budget on chocolate and chip. His utility function is given by ?(?1,?2)= 2?1?2, where ?1 is the number of chocolates he consumers per week, and ?2 is the number of chips he buys per week. A chocolate costs 10 SEK, and a chip costs 20 SEK. David’s weekly budge for consuming on these two goods is 120 SEK. (1) What is David’s budge line? Draw the budget line on a graph with chocolate amounts on the horizontal axis and chip amounts on the vertical axis. Write explicitly at which points budget line crosses the axis. (2) What is David’s marginal utilities for the two goods, respectively? What is his marginal rate of substitution between the two goods? (3) What is David’s optimal choice? Calculate the numerical answer for the optimal bundle. Also draw an indifference curve for David on the same graph as question(1) and show the optimal bundle.
- 7. A consumer has preferences for coffee and pancakes that are complete, continuous, transitive, monotonic, and convex. At her current consumption bundle on the budget line, you could take away a maximum of 2 cups of coffee if you give her 5 extra pancakes without changing her utility. The price of a cup of coffee is $4, and the price of a pancake is $1. Assume you graph pancakes on the X-axis and coffee on the Y-axis. At the current consumption bundle, the bang per buck is higher for pancakes than coffee, and the consumer’s indifference curve is flatter than her budget line. a. True b. False Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.Suppose that Lynn enjoys sugar in her coffee. She has very particular preferences, and she must have exactly three spoonfuls of sugar for each cup of coffee. Let C be the number of cups of coffee, and S be the number of spoonfuls of sugar. Also, let PC be the price of a cup of coffee. Suppose Lynn has $12 to spend on Coffee and Sugar. Also, the price of Sugar is $.20 per spoonful. Graph Lynn’s Price consumption curve for prices, PC = $.60, PC = $.90, and PC = $1.80. Please put the number of cups of coffee (C) on the horizontal axis, and the number of spoonfuls of Sugar (S) on the vertical axis. Be sure to graph each budget constraint associated with each price of Coffee, identify Lynn’s optimal bundle on each budget constraint, and make sure your graph is labeled carefully and accurately.Sue views hot dogs and hot dog buns as perfect complements in her consumption, and the corners of her indifference curves follow the 45-degree line. Initially, the price of hot dogs is $3 per package (8 hot dogs), the price of buns is $3 per package (8 hot dog buns), and Sue's budget is $48 per month. How does her optimal consumption bundle change if the price of hot dog buns increases to $5 per package? A) She buys the same amount of hot dog buns and buys more hot dogs. B) Sue does not change her consumption because these goods are perfect complements. C) She reduces her consumption by 2 packages of hot dogs and 2 packages of hot dog buns. D) She buys the same amount of hot dogs and buys two less packages of hot dog buns.
- Kate’s utility function includes coffee (c) and sugar (s). She only consumes coffee and sugar together, and she only consumes in the ratio of one unit (cup) of coffee with two units (spoons) of sugar. Her utility function is What is her marginal utility of sugar if she has 4 cups of coffee and 6 spoons of sugar? Remember that unit are infinitely divisible (you can have parts of units). (a) 0 (b) 1 (c) ½ (d) 2urgent Please EXERCISE 1 Pam has a monthly budget of £120 to be spent on T-shirts and trainers. She could afford to buy two T-shirts and two pairs of trainers. She could also buy eight T-shirts. In each case, she would be spending her entire monthly allowance. a) Calculate the price of a T-shirt and the price of a pair of trainers. Write down Pam’s budget equation and draw the corresponding budget line. Mark the two consumption bundles mentioned above. In your graph, clearly label the axes, the budget line, and calculate the coordinates of the points of intersection of the budget line with each axis. Interpret each of those points. b) Discuss how Pam’s budget set would change if the price of a T-shirt doubles. Show the relevant changes graphically. How should Pam’s income change so that she could still afford to buy two T-shirts and two pairs of trainers? c) Discuss how Pam’s budget constraint would change if the government imposed a tax of £3 per each pair of trainers.EXERCISE 4 Milo spends £27 on stamps (S) and maple candy (C). His preferences for these goods are given by the following utility function: . Suppose that price per unit of S is £1.1 and the price per unit of C is £2.1. Write down Milo’s budget equation and draw the corresponding budget line. Clearly label the axes and calculate the coordinates of the points of intersection of the budget line with each axis. In your graph, indicate the consumption bundle of 12 stamps and 6 maple candies. Can Milo afford this bundle? Explain. Find Milo’s optimal consumption bundle, both algebraically and graphically. Explain your reasoning. If the price of a stamp increases to £1.4, how should Milo’s income change for him to be as well off as before this change in prices? Discuss the implications of the price change from c) on Milo’s optimal choice. In your discussion, include the analysis of the substitution and income effects as well as Milo’s demand for stamps and/or maple candy.
- Suppose you have $30 and you are going to rent some movies and buy some sodas. Suppose movie rentals are $6.00 each and sodas are $1.00 each. Your original consumption bundle is 3 movies and 12 sodas. (Hint: put movie rentals on the X axis) a)Draw your budget line showing the different combinations of Movies that you can rent and sodas that you can purchase. b)Suppose that movie rentals turn out to be half off ($3.00). Draw your new budget line on the same graph.A student has a monthly budget of $120 to spend on either burritos, which cost $6 each, orsodas, which cost $4 each.What is the largest number of burritos that the student could afford to purchase in onemonth?What is the largest number of sodas the student could afford to purchase in one month? Draw the student's budget constraint. Put burritos on the x-axis and sodas on the y-axis.Jackie has a budget of $36 per month to spend on snacks. She can spend this budget on bags of potato chips (C) and Hershey chocolate bars (H). Potato chips cost $4 per bag, while Hershey bars cost $1 per bar. The utility that Jackie receives from consuming potato chips and Hershey bars is represented by the following utility function: U=3C2 H. Given that Jackie seeks to maximize her utility, find the number of potato chip bags and Hershey chocolate bars that Jackie will purchase each month.
