Suppose that Anna goes to a coffee shop to get coffee. The maximum amount he is willing to pay for the first cup of coffee is $2.50, the second cup is $2.00, the third cup is $1.50; the fourth cup is $1.00, the fifth cup is $0.50, and the sixth cup is $0.00 The coffee shop charges a price of $2.00 per cup of coffee. If Anna is rational, she will purchase and gets consumer surplus of cups O 2; $0.50 O 6; $7.50 O 1; $0.50 O 3; $6.00

Non-linear pricing in water utilities: You are the manager of water utilities, and you are trying to determine how different water pricing schemes will affect consumption. One option for pricing is called decreasing block pricing, where the marginal price paid decreases with quantity paid. In particular, you are considering a decreasing block schedule where consumers pay $0.20 per gallon for the first 20 gallons consumed, and then $0.10 per gallon for any additional gallons consumed. For this decreasing block pricing scheme, draw the budget constraint for a consumer that has $10 of income, where the composite good is the good on the y-axis. Another option for pricing is called increasing block pricing, where the marginal price paid increases with the quantity paid. In particular, you are considering an increasing block schedule where consumers pay $0.20 per gallon for the first 20 gallons consumed, and then $0.40 per gallon for any additional gallons consumed. For this increasing…
Q19 Let's assume that Justin Trudeau, who lives in Ottawa, is purchasing corn (C) and dandelion (D) in utility-maximizing amounts. If the price of corn (C) is $4 and the price of dandelion (D) is $2, then: Multiple Choice the marginal utility of dandelion is the same as that of corn. Justin Trudeau will buy only corn. the marginal utility of corn is twice that of dandelion. the marginal utility of corn is four times that of dandelion. the marginal utility of dandelion is twice that of corn.

Kids in the city were willing and able to buy 12 rolls of cotton candy when the price was $1.00 each and 2 rolls of cotton candy when the price was $3.00 each. However, cotton candy machine owners in the city are willing to make 2 cotton candy rolls when the price was$1.00 and 12 cotton candy rolls when the price is $3.00 ii) Assuming that the market is linear, showing all working Derive the demand curve Pd(Q) for cotton candy in the term of price, where x= quantity Derive the supply curve Ps(Q) for cotton candy in term of price, where x = quantity iii) Using your answer from part (ii), Determine the equilibrium price and quantity for cotton candy in the city

Be fast Suppose there are three (3) consumers in a market for bottles of perfume; Mutumbu, Jasanu and Julius The individual demand for perfumes for each of these consumers is given as 10 bottles for Mutumbu, 15 bottles for Jasanu and 25 bottles for Julius at $60 per bottle for perfume. Thus, the market demand for perfumes if the market price is $60 is: (a)40 bottles (b)60 bottles (c)80 bottles (d) None of the above
Imagine, we are in ancient Greece. Praxilla lives in Athens and derives utility from reading poems and from eating cucumbers. Praxilla gets 30 units of marginal utility from her first poem, 27 units of marginal utility from her second poem, 24 units of marginal utility from her third poem, and so on, with marginal utility declining by three units for each additional poem. Praxilla gets six units of marginal utility for each of her first three cucumbers consumed, five units of marginal utility for each of her next three cucumbers consumed, four units of marginal utility for each of the following three cucumbers consumed, and so on, with marginal utility declining by one for every three cucumbers consumed. A poem costs three bronze coins, but a cucumber only costs one bronze coin. Praxilla has 18 bronze coins. 1. Sketch Praxilla’s budget set between poems and cucumbers, placing poems on the vertical axis and cucumbers on the horizontal axis. Start off with the choice of zero poems and 18…
Problem 1 Last week, neither Alistair nor Bodana purchased blueberries (x). Both consumers had $30 to spend on blueberries and/or raspberries (y), the price of the two fruits was $3 per pack and both consumers bought raspberries only. Alistair's utility for blueberries and raspberries is UA(x,y) = x+2y. Bodana's utility for blueberries and raspberries is UB(x,y) = x +12ln(y). a) In two separate graphs, illustrate Alistair's and Bodana's optimal choices. Your graphs must illustrate the consumers' budget constraints and their indifference curves at the optimal bundle. b) At their optimal bundle, what is Alistair's marginal rate of substitution of raspberries for blueberries (- MUx/MUy)? At their optimal bundle, what is Bodana's marginal rate of substitution? This week, blueberries cost $3 per pack just like last week, however raspberries now cost $4 per pack. c) How many packs of blueberries and raspberries will Alistair buy this week? Clearly justify your answer. d) Using the…
