Q1 (b) – each graph needs to be approximately half page in size. All the axis need to be labeled. The TU values need to be scaled as follows: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 – with 2 cm gaps. The MU values need to be scaled as follows: -5, 0, 5, 10, 15 – with 2 cm gaps. b) Using the values from the above table, “Plot” (on separate graphs) i) Total Utility
When utility function U(q1, q2)=min{ 34.6 q1, 17 q2} and q1= 33 and q2= 60 are given, find utility level consumer gains?
An individual’s utility function is given by where is the amount of leisure measured in hours per week and is income earned measured in cedis per week. Determine the value of the marginal utilities, when = 138 and = 500. Hence estimate the change in utility if the individual works for an extra hour, which increases earned income by GH¢15 per week. Does the law of diminishing utility hold for this function?
True/False Marginal utility refers to the satisfaction or pleasure that occur due to the additional consumption of one more unit
True/False Utility refers to the total satisfaction or happiness that an individual get from consuming a product.
True/False Marginal utility is 0 for the Consumption of the very first unit.
You have the following observations about a consumer's purchase choices of two commodities, 1 and 2: When the prices were ($3,$6) consumer purchases bundle A = (2, 5). When the prices were ($7, $3) consumer purchases bundle C = (3, 5) You did not observe when consumer purchases Bundle B = (4, 4) . a. Compute the cost of each bundle A, B, C given each price pair. Then determine how the consumer ranks the bundles using Directly Revealed Preferred (DRP) relation. b. What can you say about the bundles using Indirectly Revealed Preferreu (IRP) relation?
