- Each day Paul, who is in third grade, eats lunch at school. He likes only Twinkies (t) and soda (s), andthese provide him a utility ofutility = U (t s) =square root (ts).a. If Twinkies cost $0.10 each and soda costs $0.25 per cup, how should Paul spend the $1 hismother gives him in order to maximize his utility?b. If the school tries to discourage Twinkie consumption by raising the price to $0.40, by howmuch will Paul’s mother have to increase his lunch allowance to provide him with the same levelof utility he received in part (a)?Roxanne is considering chipping in to pay for some tree trimming in her neighborhood. If the trees are trimmed, everyone's view improves by the same amount. Roxanne's utility function is given by u(x,t)=3x+1200t, where x is the amount of money she has to spend and t is a variable that equals 1 if the trees are trimmed and 0 if they are not. 1st attempt See Hint Suppose Roxanne starts with $8000. Her utility of that amount of money without the trees being trimmed is 24000 (that is, u(8000,0)=24000). Calculate her reservation price for contributing to the tree-trimming project. $please only do: if you can teach explain each partc: what does it mean? can you show graphs: show WARP : If the consumer’s wealth is high enough that both bundles can buy with both prices then WARP violates If the consumer may not be spending all of her wealth, are her choices consistent withthe Weak Axiom of Revealed Preference (or is it impossible to determine)?: If the consumer’s wealth is high enough that both bundles are aordable atboth prices then WARP violates. why? Therefore, it is notpossible to know
- 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 that a consumer has a choicebetween two goods, X and Y. If the price of X is $2 and the priceof Y is $3, how much of X and Y does the consumer purchaseper period, given an income of $17 per period? Use the followinginformation about marginal utility:Units MUX MUY1 10 52 8 43 2 34 2 25 1 2Pareto eliminated psychology from economics:a. by defining utility as ordinal, not cardinal utilityb. searching for secondary qualities of thingsc. defined rationality as consumer behavior only after they have bought something several timesd. by accepting revealed preference.
- Consumer spends $ 360 per week on two goods, X and Y. Px=$3 and Py= $2. His utility function is U = 2X^2Y. What quantities of X and Y does he buy each week in quillibrium?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?Consider this diagram: A consumer who starts (i.e. has an endowment) at point B, and has preferences shown by IC1, will want to borrow. is it true or false True False

BUT MY QUESTİON İs that What if our budget is not end up and the marginal utility per dollar is same for both good What should we do at that point? PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTİON DONT GİVE CLLASİC DEFİNİTİONA consumer has preferences on Amazon original shows (x), and the composite good (y) described as u(x,y) = x^2y (HINT: MUx = 2xy and MUy = x^2 ) and she has I = $300 budget in total. Assume py = $1, so we can think of y as the saved dollars in her pocket for other uses. Now, if she is not an amazon prime member, each show costs px = $10, but if she is a prime member, then px = $4. Amazon prime membership costs $120. (a) Draw her feasible budget set on the x-y axis for the no-prime-membership case, and the prime-membership case, separately. (b) If she chooses not to be a prime member, what is her optimal bundle (x,y) ? (c) If she chooses to become a prime member, what is her optimal bundle (x,y) ? (d) What is her optimal utility in (b)?in (c)? Would she want to become a prime member?
