A)Rhea should buy more bread, less milk, B)Rhea should buy more milk, less bread, C) Rhea maximizes her utility at bundle A, so she should not change her consumptions of either good, D) Rhea cannot afford bundle A, so she should buy less of both goods III.

27. Mike spends all his income on films (F) and concerts (C). Films cost $10 and concertscost $30. Mike’s preferences can be described by the utility function: U = F C and hence themarginal utility of films is C and the marginal utility of concerts is F. Which of the followingbundle will Mike purchase? (Hint: You do not need to know income in $ amount. Answerthe question using the tangency condition.)(a) Mike purchases 30 concerts and 10 films a month.(b) Mike purchases 10 concerts and 30 films a month.(c) Mike purchases 20 concerts and 20 films a month.(d) Mike purchases 5 concerts and 10 films a month.
Reid has the following utility function. U = 24m1/3d1/2 where U is Reid's total utility, m is the quantity of muffin consumed, and d is the quantity of doughnuts consumed. Reid has a budget of $25.00, the price of a muffin is $1.00 and the price of doughnut is $0.60. a. What is the equation for the marginal utility Reid receives from muffins? What is the equation for the marginal utility Reid receives from doughnuts? b. What is the equation for the marginal rate of substitution, MRSm,d? Is Reid's utility function subject to the law of the diminishing marginal rate of substitution? c. Reid has a $15.00 gift card that can only be used to buy doughnuts and $10.00 cash to spend on either of the two goods. The price of a doughnut is $0.60 and the price of a muffin is $1.00. Using equations, determine, determine Reid's optimal combination of muffins and doughnuts given the cash and gift card.

Given an individual’s current consumption patterns, we know that the person is consuming in such a manner that he is maximizing his satisfaction. Given a decrease in the price of one of the goods he normally purchases, what will happen to the consumer’s total satisfaction and to the marginal utilities connected with the consumption of this particular good. a) His overall satisfaction will increase, but his satisfaction from the last unit consumed of the good with a decreased price will decrease. b) His overall satisfaction will decrease and his satisfaction from the last unit consumed of the good with a decreased price will decrease. c) His overall satisfaction will increase and his satisfaction from the last unit consumed of the good with a decreased price will increase. d) His overall satisfaction will decrease and his satisfaction from the last unit consumed of the good with a decreased price will increase. e) We cannot tell about the changes in his total utility or his marginal…

Assume, as in Exercise 22.1, that a consumer has utility function F or fruit and chocolate. Determine the consumer's demand functions q1(P1, P2, M) and q2(P1, P2, M). Determine also It* in terms of P1, P2 and M. Find the indirect utility function and show that It* = 8Vj8M. Suppose, as before, that fruit costs $1 per unit and chocolate $2 per unit. If the income is raised from $36 to $36.5, determine the precise value of the resulting change in the indirect utility function. Show that this is approximately equal to (O.5)λ*, where λ* is evaluated at P1 = 1,P2 = 2 and M = 36. Exercise 22.1 A consumer purchases quantities of two commodities, fruit and chocolate, each month.

Consider a person who consumes two goods, x and y, and has a utility function given by U(x, y) = In(x)+y. This person has an income of $100 and faces a price of $0.50 for good x and $1 for good y. Price of x then rises to $0.60. Solve for the compensating variation (CV) and equivalent variation (EV) of this price change. Show your work.
