- Pls help with thsi question I am stuck Given the image attatched: 1.Given the above Marginal Utilities and prices to form the optimality condition for utilitymaximization. According to this optimality condition, what must be the ratio of Films toBooks in an optimal consumption bundle? 2. Given your answer to Q9, what must be the household’s optimal consumption of F & Bgiven their income (m)? 3. Suppose that the price of Films changed from $2 to $4. What would need to happen tothe MRS according to the optimality condition in Q9 if the household wanted to keepmaximizing its utility?Intialy mr. John is at equilibrium such that the last dollar spent on each of several products gives hi identical marginal utility i.e MUorange/porange=MUApple/pApple=...=MUn/pn where Mu orange =aditional utility derived from consuming one more unit of Apple ,pApple=price of a unit of Apple etc Q.how will Mr.Jhon react if the price of orange and other goods remain constant?and how can the equilibrium be restored?Suppose the linear demand curve for shirtsslopes downward and that consumers buy 500 shirts per yearwhen the price is $30 and 1,000 shirts per year when the priceis $25.a. Compared to the prices of $30 and $25, what can you sayabout the marginal valuation that consumers place on the300th shirt, the 700th shirt, and the 1,200th shirt they mightbuy each year?b. With diminishing marginal utility, are consumers derivingany consumer surplus if the price is $25 per shirt? Explain.c. Use a market demand curve to illustrate the change in consumersurplus if the price drops from $30 to $25.
- 4. a. Consider a consumer with preferences defined over x and y. Demonstrate that it is possible theywould choose to consume some of both commodities when their income is I but would choose toconsume only x when their income is I’ > I. (Remember: if you can draw it without violating anyof the basic assumptions on preferences, it could happen.) b. Conversely, demonstrate that it is possible they would choose to consume only x when theirincome is I but would choose to consume x and y when their income is I’ > I.c. Finally, show it is possible that they would choose to consume only y when their income is I butwould choose to consume only x when their income is I’ > I.Answer the following short questions:a. Suppose that a consumer’s preferences between goods x andy are represented by the utility function u(x, y) = x^2 + 16xy + 64y^2. If these two goods have the same price, describe the optimal consumptionchoice of this consumer.b. Suppose that when the price of a good change, the incomeand substitution effects change the consumer’s demand for that goodin opposite directions.i. Is this good a normal or an inferior good? Explain.ii. Is this good a Giffen or an ordinary good? Explain.c. Is the following statement true or false? The differencebetween a monopolist’s marginal cost and its profit-maximizing price issmaller when the demand is more elastic.7. Bob receives utility from days spent traveling on vacation domestically (D) and daysspent traveling in a foreign country (F) as given by the utilityU(D; F) = DFThe price of a day spent traveling domestically is 160 pounds and in a foreigncountry 200 pounds. Bobís annual budget for traveling is 8000 pounds. (a) Find Bobís utility maximising choice of days traveling domestically and of daystravelling in a foreign country. Find also his utility level from consuming thatbundle. Suppose that the price of domestic traveling increases to 250 pounds per day.Denoting his budget for traveling x, (suppose by now that it is unknown) findthe demand for D and F under the new prices as a function of x.
- a. A young connoisseur has $600 to spend to build a smallwine cellar. She enjoys two vintages in particular: a 2001French Bordeaux (wF) at $40 per bottle and a less expensive 2005 California varietal wine (wC) priced at $8. Ifher utility is U (wF, wC))=wF2/3 w C1/3 ,then how much of each wine should she purchase?b. When she arrived at the wine store, this young oenologistdiscovered that the price of the French Bordeaux hadfallen to $20 a bottle because of a decrease in the valueof the euro. If the price of the California wine remainsstable at $8 per bottle, how much of each wine shouldour friend purchase to maximize utility under thesealtered conditions?c. Explain why this wine fancier is better off in part (b)than in part (a). How would you put a monetary value onthis utility increase?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. Suppose that the Department of Welfare wants to know how much should begiven to Eren to offset his change un utility due to the price increase of an expensivemeal. Calculate the compensative variation (CV).Lexicographic preferences describe preferences where an economic agent prefers any amount of one good (X) to any amount of another (Y). SpeciÖcally, if o§ered several bundles of goods, the agent will choose the bundle that o§ers the most X, no matter how much Y there is. Only when there is a tie between bundles with regard to the number of units of X will the agent start comparing the number of units of Y across bundles. Show that Lexicographic preferences are transitive

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.
