- Suppose that each week Fiona buys 16 peaches and 4 apples at her local farmer's market. Both kinds of fruit cost $1 each. From this we can infer that: If Fiona is maximizing her utility, then her marginal utility from the 16th peach she buys must be greater than her marginal utility from the 4th apple she buys. Fiona is not maximizing her utility. If Fiona is maximizing her utility, then her marginal utility from the 16th peach she buys must be equal to her marginal utility from the 4th apple she buys. The law of diminishing marginal utility does not hold for Fiona.Consider an economy composed of 16 consumers. Of these, 5 consumers each own one right shoe and 11 consumers each own one left shoe. Shoes are indivisible. Everyone has the same utility function, which is Min(2R, L}, where R and L are, respectively, the quantities of right and left shoes con sumed. A) (10%) Is the status quo (where each individual has his own shoe) Pareto efficient? If so, briefly explain why. If not, provide a Pareto improvement b) (10%) Characterize all Pareto efficient allocationsAssume you are spending your full budget and purchasing such amounts of X and Y that the marginal utility from the last units consumed is 40 and 20 utils respectively. Assume (a) the prices of X and Y are $8 and $4 respectively; (b) it takes 3 hours to consume a unit of X and 1 hour to consume a unit of Y; and (c) your time is worth $2 per hour. In equilibrium, if you included the opportunity cost of time then, you should substitute X for Y until the marginal utility per hour is the same for both products. should consume X and Y in the equal amounts. should consume less of Y and more of X. should consume less of X and more of Y.
- A possible explanation for the indecency might be the fact that the consumers are not all alive at the same time and therefore some mutually advantageous trades cannot occur. Consider an economy where consumer t receives an endowment of 1 unit of the single consumption good at time t and obtains utility only from consumption at times t and t + 1. All consumers meet at time 0 to trade. What is the equilibrium? Is exigency restored?2. Tom spends all his $100 weekly income on two goods, apples and bananas. His utility function is given by U (A, B) = AB, where A and B stand for the quantity of apples and bananas consumed by Tom. If PA = $4 and PB= $10, how many apples and bananas will he consume? Make sure you write out the utility maximization problem explicitly, including the decision variable(s). What if his utility function is given by U (A, B) = A0.5B 0.5?Consider a couple's decision about how many children to have. Assume that over a lifetime a couple has 100,000 hours of time to either work or raise children. The wage is $10 per hour. Raising a child takes 10,000 hours of time. a. Make a graph with the budget constraint showing the trade-off between lifetime consumption and number of children. (Ignore the fact that children come only in whole numbers!) Show indifference curves and an optimum choice. b. Suppose the wage increases to $15 per hour. Show how the budget constraint shifts. Using income and substitution effects, discuss the impact of the change on number of children and lifetime consumption. c. We observe that, as societies get richer and wages rise, people typically have fewer children. Is this fact consistent with this model? Explain.
- maddy is a single mom with a weekly budget of $100. She can spend her weeklyincome on food and diapers for her son. Price of food is $1 and price of a diaperis 50 cents. Her son needs at least 5 diapers a day, therefore she must purchaseat least 35 diapers weekly. maddy utility function is U (f, d) = f 0.9d0.1,where f and d represent quantity of food and diapers, respectively.Part aFind Jennifer’s optimal consumption bundle. Make sure to draw her budgetconstraint and indifference curves and clearly demonstrate your solution.Part bmaddy uncle Sam, who is aware of her financial troubles, offers to help herout. Specifically, he offers to pay half of her weekly diaper expenses. Howmany diapers maddy would buy now? Again, demonstrate your solution bothgraphically and analytically.Using a diagram, draw the outcome of optimal choice using an indi↵erence curve and the individual’s lifetime budget constraint.Suppose the utility possibility frontier for two individuals is given by U_a+2U_b=200 Please plot the utility frontier on a graph.
- Suppose that 2 roommates, Andy and Bob, are trying to pick an apartment in Chicago. Locations can be chosen from set of alternatives A={ x: x exists [0,1]}. Andy and Bob both want to minimize their daily commute but they work at different locations: Andy at xA=0.3, while Bob at xB=0.6. Specifically, their utility functions are: ui(x)= -(x-xi)2. Question: What is the set of all Pareto Efficient outcomes in A, assuming no money can be exchanged.Ceja has utility function U=A2*B2 , where A equals the number of apples she eats each week, while B is the number of bananas she eats each week. Ceja has $20 to spend on fruit each week. The price of an apple is $1, while the price of a banana is $0.25. Find out the combination of Apples and Bananas that maximize Ceja’s satisfaction. If price of Banana is increased by $.25, what will be the new combination of A and B that would maximize her utility? Show graphically and drive the demand curve for BananasSuppose that Abel and Eden spend their incomes on two goods, food (F) and clothing (C).Abel’s preferences are represented by the utility function U(F,C)=10FC, while Eden’spreferences are represented by the utility function U(F,C)= 0.20F2C2A) With food on the horizontal axis and clothing on the vertical axis, identify on a graph theset of points that give Abel the same level of utility as the bundle (10, 5). Do the same forEden on a separate graph.B) On the same two graphs, identify the set of bundles that give Abel and Eden the samelevel of utility as the bundle (15, 8).C) Do you think Abel and Eden have the same preferences or different preferences?
