- Explain how Consumer Choice Theory helps explain decisions concerning the consumption of two goods. Further, discuss how Indifference Curves apply to this theory and the role played by the Budget Constraint. Note: apply the goods to inputs used in your fictitious business idea.Law of equi marginal utility is an important law of cardinal utility analysis. Explain this law with the help of its assumptions. Furthermore, there is a relationship between total and marginal utilities where they both pass through different stages when the consumer continues his or her consumption regularly. Elaborate.In general, as a consumer consumes more of a good or service, total utility _____ and marginal utility _____. Question 39 options: a increases; increases b increases; decreases c decreases; increases d decreases; decreases
- Please find the utility maximizing level of consumption bundle if the income of the consumer is 120. Show the utility maximizing level of consumption for each product on the table. Explain your answer by stating the utility maximizing rule.Please find the utility maximizing level of consumption bundle if the income of the consumer is 120 TL. Show the utility maximizing level of consumption for each product on the table. Explain your answer by stating the utility maximizing rule.Q30 The marginal rate of substitution is the... a. Rate of substitution between the marginal values of any two goods. b. Rate of substitution between the total utility of any two goods. c. Substitution of one good for another as we move along the budget line. d. Amount of one good the consumer is willing to give up in exchange for another to keep total expenditure unchanged. e. Amount of one good the consumer is willing to give up in exchange for another to remain indifferent.
- Suppose the utility function for goods x and y is given Utility = U(x,y) = 2x+y Suppose price of both x and y is $1. You have total $10 to spend, calculate the amount of good x and y you are willing and able to buy? Suppose price of x changed to $4. Price of y and your disposable income remain the same: i. calculates the change in the amount of good x, that is caused by the substitution effect (the effect on consumption due to a change in price holding real income or utility constant). ii. calculate the change in the amount of good x, that is caused by the income effect (the effect on consumption due to a change in real income caused by a change in price)."A utility maximizing consumer necessarily minimizes expenditure". Is this statement true or false?. Explain fully the relationship between utility maximization and expenditure maximisation
