- In our basic model of utility maximization, identify the graphical representations of the following concepts: (a) Preferences (b) Resource scarcityQuestion 2 True or False Provide a brief explanation For the Cobb-Douglas utility function the optimal choice of good i is independent of the price of good j. Full explain this question very fastA consumer currently spends a given budget on two goods, X and Y, in such quantities that the marginal utility of X is 15 and the marginal utility of Y is 8. The unit price of X is $3 and the unit price of Y is $2. The utility-maximizing rule suggests that this consumer should Multiple Choice a. decrease consumption of product X and increase consumption of product Y. b. increase consumption of product X and increase consumption of product Y. c. decrease consumption of product Y and increase consumption of product X. d. stick with the current consumption mix because it yields maximum utility.
- Which of the following statements is true? Select one or more options: a-If two different individuals have exactly the same budget constraint but different preferences (different appearance of the indifference curves) then they will have different equilibrium conditions for optimal choice b-The marginal substitution ratio is always equal to 1 for perfect substitutes c-If item X costs SEK 10, item Y costs SEK 20 and if the marginal benefit for X is 20 and the marginal benefit for Y is 30, then the individual should buy more of Y and less of X d-In the case of a corner solution for an individual, the marginal substitution ratio for two goods is not equal to the relative price of the two goodsQuestion 26 Any combination of goods lying outside of the budget line: implies that the consumer is not spending all his income. yields less utility than any point on the budget line. is unobtainable, given the consumer's income. yields less utility than any point inside the budget line.1. Consider a consumer who chooses bundles consisting of two commodities, x and y. Suppose that, regardless of the prices px and py (which are always positive), the consumer chooses to consume x and y in a ratio of 2:1. This behavior is consistent with: a. A consumer having Cobb-Douglas utility function. b. The consumer’s utility function exhibiting perfect complements. c. The consumer’s utility function exhibiting perfect substitutes. d. Any of the above could be correct.
- 4. Show how to construct the reference dependent utility function for two friends Kate and Mary whose gains and losses are listed as follows : Kate's net worth is $ 4.5 million ( decreased from $ 5.5 to $ 4.5 million ) Mary's net worth $ 3.2 million ( increased from $ 3 to $ 3.2 million ) ( First determine the reference point ( use a parameter ) and then derive reference utility function for each ) .Suppose that BC1 on the following graph represents your initial budget constraint for good X and good Y, and point A represents the best bundle, given this choice set. After a change in the price of good X, your new budget constraint is now BC2. The compensated budget is parallel to BC2, representing the same tradeoff between good X and good Y, and it is tangent to the given indifference curve (U) at point B.Assuming the two good case. When a person is attempting to maximize utility and income increases, then: a. The budget constraint expands, shifting the budget line outward indicating more choices are now affordable and a higher utility level is now possible. b. The budget constraint contracts, shifting the budget line outward indicating more choices are now affordable and a higher utility level is now possible. c. The budget constraint expands, shifting the budget line inward indicating more choices are now affordable and a lower utility level is now possible. d. The budget constraint contracts, shifting the budget line outward indicating more choices are now affordable and a lower utility level is now possible.
