- Would you expect total utility to rise or fall with additional consumption of a good? Why?Praxilla, who lived in ancient Greece, 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 next 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 cucumber consumed. A poem costs three bronze coins hut a cucumber costs only one bronze coin. Praxilla has 18 bronze coins. Sketch Praxillas 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 cucumbers, and calculate the changes in marginal utility of moving along the budget line to the next choice of one poem and 15 cucumbers. Using this step-by-step process based on marginal utility, create a table and identify Praxillas utility—maximizing choice. Compare the marginal utility of the two goods and the relative prices at the optimal choice to see if the expected relationship holds. Hint: Label the table columns: 1) Choice, 2} Marginal Gain from More Poems, 3) Marginal Loss from Fewer Cucumbers, 4) Overall Gain or Loss, 5) Is the previous choice Optimal? Label the table rows: 1) 0 Poems and 18 Cucumbers, 2) 1 Poem and 15 cucumbers, 3) 2 Poems and 12 cucumbers, 4) 3 Poems and 9 Cucumbers, 5) 4 Poems and 6 cucumbers 6) 5 Poems and 3 Cucumbers, 7) 6 Poems and 0 Cucumbers.Jeremy is deeply in love with Jasmine. Jasmine lives where cell phone coverage is poor, so he can either call her on the land-line phone for five cents per minute or he can drive to see her, at a round—trip cost of 2 in gasoline money. He has a total of 10 per week to spend on staying in touch. To make his preferred choice, Jeremy uses a handy utilimometer that measures his total utility from personal visits and from phone minutes. Using the values in Table 6.6, figure out the points 011 Jeremys consumption choice budget constraint (it may be helpful to do a sketch) and identify his utility-maximizing point.
- Wherein:TU = Total Utilityf= is a function ofMU = Marginal UtilityO = units of consumptionA= infinitesimal change EMV= Expected Monetary ValueSuppose 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 2Suppose 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.
- 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. Calculate the change in consumer surplus from consuming the expensivemeals considering the price change (Hint: you need to compare his optimalconsumption bundle before and after the price change to get the change in CS).John’s preferences for apples (A) and berries (B) are represented by U(A,B)= A+2B . Apples cost £2 and berries £1. Given that John’s monthly income is £30 answer the following questions: What type of goods are apples and berries for John? What is the proportion to which John is willing to exchange apples for berries? Illustrate and solve graphically John’s utility maximization problem. If his income increases every month by £10, how will John’s consumption choice be affected? Illustrate graphically the income expansion path and the Engel curve for each good. How will an increase in the price of berries to £6 affect John’s optimal consumption choice? (John’s income is £30) Graph John’s demand curve for each good. Assume that John wins a voucher of £20, redeemable only in apples. How would this affect John’s utility? (Assume that prices and income are as described initially) Assume that John is presented with two options: an apple voucher of £20 or just £6 to spend on any good he wants.…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?

Draw these with films on the x-axis and books on the y-axis. 2) What is the MRS for these utility functions? Assume that films remain on the x-axis andbooks remain on the y-axis. 3) What is the consumption bundle that delivers the highest level of utility that is alsoaffordable?Mylie’s total utility from singing the same song over andover is 50 utils after one repetition, 90 utils after tworepetitions, 70 utils after three repetitions, 20 utils afterfour repetitions, 250 utils after five repetitions, and 2200utils after six repetitions. Write down her marginal utilityfor each repetition. Once Mylie’s total utility beginsto decrease, does each additional singing of the songhurt more than the previous one or less than the previousone?Assume, as in Exercise 22.1, that a consumer has utility function F or fruit and chocolate. Determine the consumer's demand functions q1(P1, P2, M) and q2(P1, P2, M). Determine also It* in terms of P1, P2 and M. Find the indirect utility function and show that It* = 8Vj8M. Suppose, as before, that fruit costs $1 per unit and chocolate $2 per unit. If the income is raised from $36 to $36.5, determine the precise value of the resulting change in the indirect utility function. Show that this is approximately equal to (O.5)λ*, where λ* is evaluated at P1 = 1,P2 = 2 and M = 36. Exercise 22.1 A consumer purchases quantities of two commodities, fruit and chocolate, each month. The consumer's utility function is For a bundle (X1, X2) of X1 units of fruit and X2 units of chocolate. The consumer has a total of $49 to spend on fruit and chocolate each month. Fruit cost $1 per unit and chocolate costs $2 per unit. How many units of each should the consumer buy…
