- Consider a town with a single street of 1 km long with 3,000 people spread uniformly along it. Two stores, 1 and 2, are located at the opposite ends of the street and sell the same product (store 1 is locatedattheleftend).Thecostofwalkingist1 =$6perkmtostore1andt2 =$9perkmtostore2for each consumer. The net utility of a consumer located at point x from buying a product at store 1 is U1(x) = 100 – p1 – t1x, where pi is a price of the product at store i = 1,2. The net utility from buying at store 2 is U2(x) = 100 – p2 – t2(1 – x). The average cost of the product for each store is c = 4. (a) Assume that all consumers buy product from the sellers. Find the demand functions Di(p1,p2) and the profit functions πi(p1,p2) for each store i = 1,2 as functions of prices p1,p2.(b) Find the equilibrium prices.Betty is looking for a job. She considers job opportunities intwo cities. Bettyís utility is given by y- x, where y is the lifetime income andx is the amount spent on buying a house. The income from City 1 fluctuatesalthough the house price is stable. On the contrary, the income from City2 is stable while the house price fluctuates. If she moves to City 1, Bettycan earn a lifetime income y1 with probability alpha and 1 + y1 with probability1-alpha . The house price in City 1 is x1. Moving to City 2 means that Bettycan earn an income of y2. However, the house price is x2 with probabilitygamma and 1 + x2 with probability 1-gamma . Do the following: (a) Write down theexpected utilities associated with living in the two respective cities, i.e., V1and V2. (b) Derive the condition under which Betty chooses City 1.Consider the choice between the following two lotteries.L1 = (0, 0.2; 200, 0.8) ;L2 = (0, 0.6; 300, 0.4).Now consider a choice between another pair of lotteriesL3 = (0, 0.6; 200, 0.4) ;L4 = (0, 0.8; 300, 0.2)Suppose that a decision maker prefers the lottery L1 to the lottery L2 andderives zero utility from an outcome of zero. If the decision maker followsexpected utility theory, which lottery among L3 and L4 will the decision makerchoose?

Her utility of wealth function is given by u(x) = x^0.5 . What is the lowest price for which Carol would be willing to sell prospect H?Suppose that each week Fiona buys 16 peaches and 4 apples at her local farmer's market. Both kinds of fruit cost $1 each. From this we can infer that: If Fiona is maximizing her utility, then her marginal utility from the 16th peach she buys must be greater than her marginal utility from the 4th apple she buys. Fiona is not maximizing her utility. If Fiona is maximizing her utility, then her marginal utility from the 16th peach she buys must be equal to her marginal utility from the 4th apple she buys. The law of diminishing marginal utility does not hold for Fiona.i will 10 upvotes urgent Say Anna's utility function is given by UA = MAMM, where MA is Anna's wealth and MM is Marie's wealth.

- Households live two periods and have prefernces U(c1)+βU(c2) where 0<β<1 and U is the utility function and satisfies our usual assumptions. There are N households in the economy. N1 of these have endowments y1 in the first period and no endowment in the second-these agents are called "Type 1". The remaining N2 have no endowment in the firs period and y2 in the second period- these agents are called "Type 2". Hencethe resources of the economy are N1y1 in the first period and N2y2 in the second, where N=N1+N2 Households have access to a credit market where the can borrow (s<0) or save s<0. The type 1 agent faces budget constraints y1=c11+s1 rs1=c21 where the consumption for the type i agent in period j is denoted cji. The type 2 agent faces budget constraints 0=c12+s2 y2+rs2=c22 The resource constraints are N1y1=N1c11+N2c12 N2y2=N11c21+N2c22 a) state the maximization problem solved by each type of agent and derive the fist order and second order conditions.

- Consider an economy with 2 goods and 2 identical agents, each of whom has the following utility function, u (x1; x2) = ln x1 + 2 ln x2. The aggregate endowments of the 2 goods are given by (1; 2). Suppose there is a social planner who cares about agents equally.(a) Set up the plannerís problem.(b) Calculate the first-best outcome 2. Consider an economy with 2 goods and 2 identical agents, each of whom has thefollowing utility function, 11(31, 3:2) = In 3:; + 2111332. The aggregate endowments ofthe 2 goods are given by (1, 2). Suppose there is a. social planner who cares aboutagents equally. (a) Set up the planner’s problem.(b) Calculate the first-best outcome (11.6., the social planner’s solution).Because Income depends on work effort and work effort depends on nutrition, suppose the relationship between income (Y) and total food availability (F) in a poor household is given by: Y = 10F + 20F2 – 0.6F3 a) If food availability in a two-person household is 20, would it be “rational” to share the food? Explain. b) If food availability in a two-person household is 30, would it be “rational” to share the food? Explain.Assume that someone has inherited 2,000 bottles of wine from a rich uncle. He or she intends to drink these bottles over the next 40 years. Suppose that this person’s utility function for wine is given by u(c(t)) = (c(t))0.5, where c(t) is each instant t consumption of bottles. Assume also this person discounts future consumption at the rate δ = 0.05. Hence this person’s goal is to maximize 0ʃ40 e–0.05tu(c(t))dt = 0ʃ40 e–0.05t(c(t))0.5dt. Let x(t) represent the number of bottle of wine remaining at time t, constrained by x(0) = 2,000, x(40) = 0 and dx(t)/dt = – c(t): the stock of remaining bottles at each instant t is decreased by the consumption of bottles at instant t. The current value Hamiltonian expression yields: H = e–0.05t(c(t))0.5 + λ(– c(t)) + x(t)(dλ/dt). This person’s wine consumption decreases at a continuous rate of ??? percent per year. The number of bottles being consumed in the 30th year is approximately ???
