- Diagrammatically explain TVP, TFC, VMP, MFC, and Profit?Eren’s two main hobbies are taking vacations overseas (V) and eating expensivemeals (M). His utility function is given as: U(V,M) = V2MLast year, the average price of taking a vacation overseas was US$200 and the averageprice of an expensive meal is $50. However, due to supply problems in Onions, theaverage price of an expensive meal rose to $75. The average price of a vacation did notchange. His income, which is $1500, did not change. Calculate the change in consumer surplus from consuming the expensivemeals considering the price change (Hint: you need to compare his optimalconsumption bundle before and after the price change to get the change in CS).Eren’s two main hobbies are taking vacations overseas (V) and eating expensivemeals (M). His utility function is given as: U(V,M) = V2MLast year, the average price of taking a vacation overseas was US$200 and the averageprice of an expensive meal is $50. However, due to supply problems in Onions, theaverage price of an expensive meal rose to $75. The average price of a vacation did notchange. His income, which is $1500, did not change. Calculate for the equivalent variation (EV) for the price change.

Furthermore,Elizabeth insists that for every pair of jeans she buys, she must also buy a pair of shoes. (without the shoes, the new jeans are worthless). Therefore, she buys the same number of pairs of shoes and jeans in any given week. a) If jeans cost $20 and shoes cost $20 , how many will Elizabeth buy of each?b) Suppose that the price of jeans rises to $30a pair , how many shoes and jeans will she buy?c) To what effect (income or substitution) do you attribute the change in utility levels between part a and part bAkua gets a research grant and her income increases to GHS 800 per month. What is the new equation of her budget line? What if income stays constant at GHS 400 and the price of Yoghurts increase to GHS10?
- Refer to Figure 1. Which of the following is TRUE about the slope of the budget constraints? a) ED = CDb) CD = CBc) CD = ABd) No correct answer.Question 1 Consider a person with the utility function U (C, L) = (1 − α) log C + α log L, where L is leisure time and C is consumption of other goods measured in dollars. The person has V dollars of non-labor income and a wage of w. There are T hours available for either working or leisure. 1. Write down the person’s budget constraint. Draw a graph representing this constraint, taking care to label the axes and key points. 2. What are the person’s marginal utilities for consumption and leisure? What is her marginal rate of substitution between leisure and consumption in terms of C, L, and α? 3. Write down a condition involving the person’s marginal rate of substitution that characterizes her optimal choice. Represent this condition graphically and interpret in words. 4. Solve for the person’s optimal choices of leisure and consumption, L ∗ and C ∗ , in terms of T, V , w, and α. 5. How does L ∗ change as you increase wage w and non-labor income V ? 6. How does C ∗ change as you…“If we take $1 away from a rich person and give it to a poor person, the rich person loses less utility than the poor per-son gains.” Comment.
