Take Jeremys total utility information in Exercise 6.1, and use the marginal utility approach to confirm the choice of phone minutes and round trips that maximize Jeremys utility.
Would you expect total utility to rise or fall with additional consumption of a good? Why?
The rules of politics are not always the same as the rules of economics. In discussions of setting budgets for government agencies, there is a strategy called closing the Washington Monument. When an agency faces the unwelcome prospect of a budget cut, it may decide to close a high-visibility attraction enjoyed by many people (like the Washington Monument). Explain in terms of diminishing marginal utility why the Washington Monument strategy is So misleading. Hint: If you are really trying to make the best of a budget cut, should you cut the items in your budget with tile highest marginal utility or line lowest marginal utility? Does the Washington Monument strategy cut the items with the highest marginal utility or line lowest marginal utility?
A consumer’s preferences between goods x and y are representedby the utility function u(x, y) = 2min{x, y}+10. Suppose this consumer hasincome of $16, the price of good x is $3 and the price of good y is $1. Suppose the price of good x increases to $7 while the price of good y andthe consumer’s income stay constant. Calculate the magnitudes of the compensating and the equivalent variations. Explain what each measures.
(a) A consumer has utility u(x,y,z) = ln(x) + 2ln(y) + 3ln(z) over the three goods, x,y and z and pz=1. Optimally she consumes 30 units of z. What is her income? How much money does she spend on x? (HINT: MUx = 1/x, MUy= 2/y, MUz = 3/z and remeber the "equivalent bang for the buck" condition). (b) Forget about (a). Suppose you have t= 29 hours in total to spend on 3 projects X,Y and Z to make some money. If you spend x hours on project X, you make 2 sqrt(x) dollars; If you spend y hours on project Y, you make 3 sqrt(y) dollars; If you spend z hours on project Z, you make 4sqrt(z) dollars; Writing down your "utility function" u(x,y,z) and the constraint, solve the utility maximization problem; what is the optimal amount of time to spend on x? on y? on z?
The utility function of an individual is given by u=f(x,y)=x3/4y1/4 Determine the optimal quantities of the 2 goods if its given that the price of good x is sh. 6 per unit, price of good y is sh. 3 per unit and the income of the individual is 120. Solve using max of utility approach and use langregean approach?
lets us assume ,aleeza consumption basket consist os two goods ,X1 and X2.three preferences statements from a-c are given below .develope MRS and graph the indifference curves that matches the given information; a) aleeza consider X1 and X2 as perfect substitutes with one unit of X1 equivalent to four un its of X2. b) aleeza consume three units of x2 with every unit of X1 c) aleeza likes good X1 ands neither likes nor dislikes good X2.
Paul derives utility from cups of coffee (C) and donuts, which he eats a dozen at a time (D). His utility function is: U = √C.D d. Show that Paul's income will not permit him to reach the =20 indifference curve. e. If Paul buys five dozen donuts, how many cups of coffee can he buy and what is his utility? f. Use a carefully drawn graph to show that the utility calculated in part e is the highest Paul can achieve with his $200.
