1. A consumer consumes two kinds of goods, namely X and Y. The total satisfaction (TU) obtained in consuming both kinds of goods is shown in the equation; (Unit of money in thousands of dollars).TU = 10X + 24Y - 0.5X2 - 0.5Y2TU is the total satisfaction in consuming goods X and YX is the number of items X consumedY is the number of items Y consumedThe price of item X is known to be $ 2, the price of item Y is $ 6 and the budget available to buy item X and item Y is $ 44.Question:a. Determine how many goods X and the number of goods Y must be consumed so that the consumer gets maximum total satisfaction. Determine the total satisfaction that can be obtained from consuming item X and item Y.b. If the price of item X drops from $ 2 to $ 1, determine the quantity of item X and the number of items Y must consume to obtain maximum total satisfaction. Determine the total satisfaction that can be obtained from the consumption of item X and item Y. 2. A producer has a total cost function: TC =…
E1 Suppose the Federal Government issues $100 worth of food stamps to everyone in your city. These stamps are coupons that can be exchanged for $100 worth of food at the grocery store and they can be used only by the person to whom they are issued. Draw your budgetline between “food’ and “all other goods” both before and after the food stamps are issued. Assume the price of food = price of “all other goods” = $1.00 and the individual’s initial income is $200.
Which of the ff. is correct with regards to the demand curve? A. If the price of the good increases, the demand curve for the good will shift to the left B. If the price of the good increases, the consumers have the incentive to look for substitutes, thus, the quantity demanded and its price are inversely related C. Income of the consumers is written on the vertical axis D. Varying preferences of the consumers is reflected in the demand curve and is written on the horizontal axis
Suppose Olivia has an income of $800/week for which she can use to consume two goods: entertainment (E) and other (O). Furthermore, suppose the price per unit of entertainment is $40 and the price per unit of other is $25. If Olivia buys 5 units of entertainment, what is the maximum amount of other she could buy? Question 43 options: a 16 units of other b 20 units of other c 28 units of other d None of the above
True or false with reasoning: 1) _______When we claim that utility can be ordinally measured, we assume that the consumer is able to measure the total and marginal utility received when one extra unit of a commodity is consumed. 2)_______If MRS between two goods is constant, then having more of one good without having more of the other does not increase utility. 3)_______Marginal Utility increases until total utility is at a maximum and then marginal utility decreases.
Suppose Kareem receives an additional $4. Should he purchase 1 additional unit of cereal or 2 additional units of Good X? Explain your answer.
A consumer has RM300 to spend on goods X and Y. The market prices of these two goods are Px = RM=15 and Py = RM 5. Question 1: What is the market rate of substitution between goods X and Y? Question 2: Based on the graph, illustrate the consumer’s opportunity set. Question 3: Illustrate the consumer’s opportunity set for the case where income increases by $300.
Clancy is an accountant who enjoys donuts and muffins. Suppose that the price of donuts increases. As a result, the purchasing power of Clancy's paycheck is diminished. Therefore, he reduces his consumption of all goods, including donuts. This phenomenon is known as the (substitution/income) effect.

a good is normal, then an increase in the price of the good will lead to which of the following to be true for this good? (Assume that there are only two goods, the individual's preferences lead to well-behaved preferences with strictly convex indifference curves and an interior solution for all budgets). Let SE = substitution effect, IE = income effect) (a) The magnitude of the IE for this good must be larger than the magnitude of the SE (b) The magnitude of the SE for this good must be larger than the magnitude of the IE (c) The good could be a Giffen good d) The good must be an ordinary good ( (e) None of the above
Question 13 If the marginal utility of a commodity is zero, then: Total utility of this commodity has reached a maximum. The paradox of value must have been reached. The commodity in question has no utility, i.e. it’s not one that consumers want to use. Total utility for this commodity must be zero also.
Question 9 If income decreases and prices are unchanged, the consumer’s budget constraint... Group of answer choices remains the same. shifts outward. shifts inward. rotates outward along the horizontal axis.
