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.
Suppose a consumer buys only two goods x and y and spends her entire income on these teo goods. She must first but some fixed quantity y before she buys any amount of x. After purchasing y; what matters is the quantity of x only and utility will increase only by buying more x. Please Draw the indifference curves. * Please draw the indifference curves as the solution*
Graph and explain indifference curves for the following situations:(i) An individual has constant marginal utility toconsumption in both periods.(ii) An individual does not derive utility from this period’sconsumption, but does from the next period’sconsumption.(iii) An individual’s utility decreases with consumption inboth periods.
C) Draw the indifference curve associated with a utility level of 36 and the indifference curve associated with a utility level of 72. Are the indifference curves bowed in toward the origin? The utility that Ann receives by consuming food F and clothing C is given by ?(?, ?) = √?? 4 + ?. Food costs N$5.00 a unit, and clothing costs N$15.00 a unit. Ann’s income is N$1850.00
Given the budget line and indifference curvesshown in Exhibit A-6, assume the consumer isinitially at point C. To maximize total utility, theconsumer shoulda. purchase more of good X and less of good Y.b. remain at point C.c. move to point B and then to point A.d. purchase more of good Y and less of good X.
Suppose an individual has the following utility function: U(x,y)=−4(x−5.5)^2 −2(y−3.5)^2 Further assume that the price of good x, px = $6, the price of good y, py = $8 and the individual has an income m = $65 a) Draw an indifference curve (one IC is enough) that represents this person’s prefer- ences. Please label the graph properly including values for x and y. b) Intuitively, and without formally solving, can you guess the maximized values x* and y*for the above utility function. Explain your answer. c) Derive the optimal values x*and y*by formally solving the above utility function subject to the above constraint. You can use any of the utility maximization techniques we learned in class. d) Compare your answers in parts b) and c). Based on the utility function that is given in this problem as well as the budget constraint, can you explain the differences between the answers you found in parts b) and c) (if any). Be as detailed as possible with your explanation.
samantha earns a weekly income of $6000.suppose she wishes to spend this on income on two goods books and dressonly. A book costs $200 while adress costs $600. Draw samantha budget line. putting books on y axis. suppose her income increase to 90 per week illustrate what happens budget line (B) list and explain three properties of indifference curve.
