A football coach says that given two players, he always prefers the one who is bigger and faster. Is his preference relation transitive? Is it complete? Prove it. The second coach says that she always prefers the one who is bigger or faster. Is her preference relation transitive? Is it complete?
Prove it.
Consider a hypothetical consumer named Hayden who is shopping for bread and brie. The graph with bread and brie on the axes presents the utility‑maximizing combinations of bread and brie that Hayden chooses when the price of bread is $1.00$1.00 per loaf and the price of brie is $4.00$4.00 and $6.00$6.00 per wheel, respectively. The other graph shows Hayden's demand curve for brie.
The two points and associated values in the graph for bread and brie combinations correspond to points A and B in the graph of the demand curve for brie. What are the specific prices and quantities of brie associated with points A and B on Hayden's demand curve?
price of brie at point A: $$
quantity demanded at point A:
price of brie at point B: $$
quantity demanded at point B:

- You are trying to decide between rescuing a puppy or an older dog. You decide to try to assign some numbers to your preferences so you can compare options. You estimate that your utility for a dog that will chew your furniture is 0.1 and your utility for a dog that can go on hikes with you is 0.8. You expect that a puppy will have an 70% chance of chewing your belongings and a 90% chance of going on hikes. What is your expected utility for getting the puppy?arrow_forwardWe learned that we can use choice between a gamble over someone's best and worst outcomes and getting an outcome of interest (like getting pizza) for certain as a way to assign numeric values to utility (on a scale of 0 to 1). Using this method, if you are indifferent between the following: A gamble that has a 0.3 chance of your best possible outcome (and no lower chance), and a 0.7 chance of your worst possible outcome. Getting pizza for certain. it means that your utility for getting pizza is:arrow_forwardRefer to Figure 21-22. When the price of X is $80, the price of Y is $20, and the consumer’s income is $160, the consumer’s optimal choice is D. Then the price of X decreases to $20. The income effect can be illustrated as the movement from Group of answer choices D to E. D to C. C to E. E to D.arrow_forward

- Alex, who was convinced that "Football is coming home", was very excited for the World Cup last year. Unfortunately, he realized that his favourite Paul Gascoigne jersey from Euro 1996 was getting old, so he wanted to buy a new one before England's first game the following week. He could either buy a 2014 James Milner shirt from retailer A, which would make him totally happy (utility=1), or a 2006 David Beckham shirt from retailer B, which gives him a utility of 0.8. However, the shirts are not available today. There is a 50% chance that retailer A will have the shirt on the week-end, and 70% chance that retailer B will have theirs on the week-end. Due to time and work constraints, Alex can only visit one of these retailers before the tournament starts, otherwise he will have to keep his old 1996 shirt, which gives him a utility of 0.5. He can also ask his friend Nathan to check both places in the morning. But being a Welsh supporter, Nathan will not do it for free and wants some…arrow_forwardExplain behavioral economic beliefarrow_forwardSo is this an example of: hometheic preferences, quasilinear preferences, or revealed preferences?arrow_forward

Ceja has $20 to spend on fruit each week. The price of an apple is $1, while the price of a banana is $0.25. Find out the combination of Apples and Bananas that maximize Ceja’s satisfaction. If price of Banana is increased by $.25, what will be the new combination of A and B that would maximize her utility? Show graphically and drive the demand curve for Bananasarrow_forwardMarie has a weekly budget of $24, which she likes to spend on magazines and pies. If the price of a magazine is $4 each, what is the maximum number of magazines she could buy in a week? If the price of a pie is $12, what is the maximum number of pies she could buy in a week? What is Marie’s opportunity cost of purchasing a pie? At the start of the week, Marie decides to buy a pie. Does this imply that the utility she receives from this pie is greater than or less than her opportunity cost of purchasing the pie? Marie is thinking about purchasing a second pie. Do we expect the marginal utility she receives from the second pie to be greater than, less than, or equal to the marginal utility she receives from the first pie? Explain your answer.arrow_forward
