Consider a local fast food restaurant. The following table shows the maximum price that Alex and Anna will pay for two products: chicken nuggets and fries. Alex Anna Are Alex and Anna's demands negatively or positively correlated? Explain. Table 2: Maximum Price Chicken Nuggets Positively correlated as Alex wants to pay lower prices for both Chicken nuggets and fries. Positively correlated as Anna wants to pay higher prices for both Chicken nuggets and fries. Negatively correlated as Alex wants to pay lower prices for both Chicken nuggets and fries. Negatively correlated as Anna wants to pay lower prices for both Chicken nuggets and fries. $1.50 $2.55 Fries $0.5 $1.0

Income Effects depend on the income elasticity of demand for each good limit you buy. If one of the goods you buy has a negative income elasticity, that is, it is an inferior good, what must be true of the income elasticity of the other good you buy?
The rules of politics are not always the same as the rules of economics. In discussions of setting budgets for government agencies, there is a strategy called closing the Washington Monument. When an agency faces the unwelcome prospect of a budget cut, it may decide to close a high-visibility attraction enjoyed by many people (like the Washington Monument). Explain in terms of diminishing marginal utility why the Washington Monument strategy is So misleading. Hint: If you are really trying to make the best of a budget cut, should you cut the items in your budget with tile highest marginal utility or line lowest marginal utility? Does the Washington Monument strategy cut the items with the highest marginal utility or line lowest marginal utility?
Adam Smith from the Classical School had introduced the “water-diamond paradox” in his Theory of Value. But he did not solve the paradox because he failed to understand the concept of utility. Explain by demonstrating relevant graph how this paradox was solved by William Stanley Jevons from the Marginalist School by using law of diminishing marginal utility.
please solve C by midpoint method Suppose that the demand schedule for rice for a Saudi family is as follows:PriceQuantity DemandedOf Rice Per Month(income = SR 10,000)Quantity DemandedOf Rice Per Month(income = SR 15,000)SR 5 60 70SR 4 80 95SR 3 100 120SR 2 120 145SR 1 140 170a. Given the table above, draw the demand curve of rice using Excel.b. Show what will happen to your graph if this family like now less rice as they are eatingmore outside.c. Use the midpoint method to calculate the price elasticity of demand as the price of riceincreases from SR 4 to SR 5 if (i) family’s income is SR 10,000 and (ii) family’s income is SR15,000.
3- Suppose there are two agents Ahmet and Berk in an economy, and both consume two goods X and Y. Also assume that price of X is 2 YTL and Y is the numeraire good, thus price of Y is 1 YTL. Ahmet and Berk has the following utility functions:UAhmet (XA,YA)= 5ln(XA)+ln(YA)UBerk (XB,YB)= XB0,5 YB0,5a. Now assume that both X and Y are private goods. Write down the optimality condition for both agents. Then, write down the optimal level of X as a function of Y for both agents.
Assume you have your car broken down just before the weekend. You value your weekend trip as muchas v and if you have to stay home you get the zero utility. There are two dealerships in your town. Atthe beginning of the day they simultaneously choose a price for repair. Dealers know that when you cometo one of them and observe the price, you can always call to another dealer to make an inquiry about hisprice. The call is costless. The other dealer, however, can be occupied for this day. Assume, this happenswith probability which is a common knowledge (but the dealers do not know whether the other dealer isoccupied or not). Assume zero repair cost for the dealer and find a symmetric equilibrium of the game.

Use the midpoint method to calculate the price elasticity of demand as the price of riceincreases from SR 4 to SR 5 if (i) family’s income is SR 10,000 and (ii) family’s income is SR15,000.d. Calculate the income elasticity of demand of this family as their income increases fromSR 10,000 to SR15,000 if (i) the price is SR 3 and (ii) the price is SR 1.

3.In Avenger City, there are various fried chicken consumers withFea es like Captain America, Thor and Black panther. Consumers with Characteristics of Captain America has a demand function for fried chicken with DCA(p)=10-2p, while Thor is DT(p)=5-p and Black Panther is DBP(p)=20-4p. The number of consumers with characteristics such as Captain America is 50, Thor 100 and Black Panther 150. If the price of Fried Chicken is $5, then:A. What is the total demand for fried chicken for consumers withFeatures like Captain America?B. What is the total demand for fried chicken for consumers withFeatures like Thor?C.

3. Individual and market demand Suppose that Manuel and Poornima are the only consumers of pizza slices in a particular market. The following table shows their annual demand schedules: Price Manuel’s Quantity Demanded Poornima’s Quantity Demanded (Dollars per slice) (Slices) (Slices) 1 30 80 2 15 60 3 10 40 4 5 30 5 0 20 On the following graph, plot Manuel’s demand for pizza slices using the green points (triangle symbol). Next, plot Poornima’s demand for pizza slices using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot the market demand for pizza slices using the blue points (circle symbol). Note: Line segments will automatically connect the points. Remember to plot from left to right. Manuel’s DemandPoornima’s DemandMarket Demand020406080100120654321
