- 3. Suppose that Omar’s marginal utility for cups of coffee is constant at 1.5 utils per cup, no matter how many cups he drinks. On the other hand, his marginal utility per doughnut is 10 for the first doughnut he eats, 9 for the second he eats, 8 for the third he eats, and so on (that is, declining by 1 util per additional doughnut). In addition, suppose that coffee costs $1 per cup, doughnuts cost $1 each, and Omar has a budget that he can spend only on doughnuts, coffee, or both. How big would that budget have to be before he would spend a dollar buying a first cup of coffee? *use tables and/or graphs if possible, please original workSuppose the consumer's utility function is given by U(x,y) = X3/5y2/5, and the exogenous variables are given by M = 500, Px = 5, and Py = 4.

He consumes a single consumption good, C, which has a price of 2. His utility function depends on his marital status: when happily married, his utility is given byU=C^(1/2) When he is not married, his utility is given by U=0.5C^(1/2) a. Suppose that Tom is not currently married. What is his utility? Now suppose that Tom gets married.What is his utility? Assume Tom can spend all his income on his own consumption when he is married. b. Use compensating variation (CV) and equivalent variation (EV) to calculate the value of marriage to Tom. How do the two figures compare?
