Furthermore,Elizabeth insists that for every pair of jeans she buys, she must also buy a pair of shoes. (without the shoes, the new jeans are worthless). Therefore, she buys the same number of pairs of shoes and jeans in any given week. a) If jeans cost $20 and shoes cost $20 , how many will Elizabeth buy of each?b) Suppose that the price of jeans rises to $30a pair , how many shoes and jeans will she buy?c) To what effect (income or substitution) do you attribute the change in utility levels between part a and part bMy friend Marie decides to set aside $200 from her paycheck every month. How will this affect her demand curve? (You don't have to use specific numbers, just explain) When Marie sets aside money from her paycheck, this is the same thing as a decrease in her income. Remember that when income increases, the demand curve shifts outwards to reflect the increase in spending. In this case, Marie's demand curve will shift inwards as she tries to economize more than usual. She will buy fewer goods, even if the prices don't change. Illustrate in graph
- 2. David gets $3 per week as an allowance to spend any way he pleases. Since he likes only peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, he spends the entire amount on peanut butter (at $0.05 per ounce) and jelly (at $0.1 per ounce). Bread is provided free of charge by a concerned neighbor. David is a picky eater and makes his sandwiches with exactly 1 ounce of jelly and 2 ounces of peanut butter. He is set in his ways and will never change these proportions. a) How much peanut and jelly will David buy with his $3 allowance per week? b) Suppose the price of jelly increases to $0.15 per ounce. How much of each commodity would be bought? c) By how much should David’s allowance be increased to compensate for the rise in the price of jelly in part b? d) Graph your results of part a through part c. 1 e) In what sense does this problem involve only a single commodity? Graph the demand curve for this single commodity. f) Discuss the results of this problem in terms of the income and substitution…Elizabeth M. Suburbs makes $200 a week at her summer job and spends her entire weekly income on new running shoes and designer jeans, because these are the only two items that provide utility to her. Furthermore, Elizabeth insists that for every pair of jeans she buys, she must also buy a pair of shoes (without the shoes, the new jeans are worthless). Therefore, she buys the same number of pairs of shoes and jeans in any given week. a. If jeans cost $20 and shoes cost $20, how many will Elizabeth buy of each? b. Suppose that the price of jeans raises to $30 a pair. How many shoes and jeans will she buy? c. Show your results by graphing the budget constraints from part a and part b. Also, draw Elizabeth’s indifference curves. d. To what effect (income or substitution) do you attribute the change in utility levels between part a and part b? e. Now we look at Elizabeth’s demand curve for jeans. First, calculate how many pairs of jeans she will choose to buy if jeans prices are $30, $20,…1. In the theory of consumer behavior, certain axioms about the nature of preferences imply that indifference curves cannot cross. Which axioms imply this? Explain your answer using a diagram and using words. 2. A consumer decides not to buy a VCR when her income is $20,000. However, when her income rises to $30,000, she decides to buy one. In a single diagram, draw the budget lines and indifference curves to illustrate this situation (assume the VCR costs $300 in both time periods). Be sure to label your diagram completely. 3. An individual consumes products X and Y and spends $25 per time period. The prices of the two goods are $3 per unit for X and $2 per unit for Y. The consumer in this case has a utility function expressed as: U(X,Y) = 0.5XY MUX = 0.5Y MUY = 0.5X. a. Express the budget equation mathematically. b. Determine the values of X and Y that will maximize utility in the consumption of X and Y. c. Determine the total utility that will be generated per unit of time for…
- 5. Rhoda’s preferences for consumption and leisure can be expressed as U(C, L) = (C - 100) × (L - 40). There are 110 (non-sleeping) hours in the week available to split between work and leisure. Rhoda earns 10 GHS per hour after taxes. She also receives 320 GHS worth of support from her parents each week regardless of how much she works.a. What will be Rhoda’s marginal utility of leisure and her marginal utility of consumption?b. What is Rhoda’s marginal rate of substitution when L = 100 and she is on her budget line? c. Find Rhoda’s optimal amount of consumption.I need help with this homeowrk question i am unsure if i have it correct. Suppose a consumer’s utility function is given by U(X,Y) = X^1/2*Y^1/2. Also, the consumer has $36 to spend, and the price of good X is P(x) = $4. Let good Y be a “composite” good (good Y is the “numeraire”) whose price is P(y) = $1. So, on the Y-axis, we are graphing the amount of money that the consumer has available to spend on all other goods for any given value of X.if P(x) increases to 9 and the new bundle of the customers demands are 2 units of x and 18 units of y, how much additional money would the consumer need in order to have the same utility level after the price change as before the price change? (Note: this amount of additional money is called the Compensating Variation.) and of the total change in the quantity demanded of good X, how much is due to the substitution effect and how much is due to the income effect? (Note: since there is an increase in the price of good X, these values will be…A consumer has utility u(x,y) = x^4 y^2 where x is this year’s consumption, and y is next year’s consumption. She makes 600 dollars income this year and 720 dollars income the next year. There is also a bank where she can borrow money at the interest rate r=%50 and lend money (to the bank) at the interest rate r=%20 (of course, she will decide to borrow or lend this year and pay off her debt or receive her savings the next year). a. Should she borrow money from or lend to the bank this year? How much b. If her utility were u(x,y) = xy2 instead, re-solving (a), would she borrow money or lend? How much? c. If her utility were u(x,y) = x^c y^2, what should “c” be so that she ends up neither borrowing nor lending?
