6.8 (0) Casper consumes cocoa and cheese. He has an income of $16. Cocoa is sold in an unusual way. There is only one supplier and the more cocoa one buys from him, the higher the price one has to pay per unit. In fact, r units of cocoa will cost Casper a total of x² dollars. Cheese is sold in the usual way at a price of $2 per unit. Casper's budget oquation, therefore, is a² + 2y = 16 where r is his consumption of cocoa and y is his consumption of cheese. Casper's utility function is U (xr, y) = 3r + y. (a) On the graph below, draw the boundary of Casper's budget set in blue ink. Use red ink to sketch two or three of his indifference curves.

marginal utility is a measure of the benefit (or value, or enjoyment) a person obtains by a) Consuming a single additional unit of a product. b)Selling a single additional unit of a product (and spending the resulting cash). c) Borrowing the dollar value of a single additional unit of a product (and spending it on something nice). d)Converting a single additional unit of product to an equivalent number of units.
Question 11 Which one of the following statements is incorrect? Each point on a budget line stands for a different combination of 2 goods. All points on a budget line stand for the same level of satisfaction. The indifference curve is convex to the origin because of the law of diminishing marginal utility. Each point on an indifference curve represents a different combination of 2 goods All points on an indifference curve stand for the same level of satisfaction.
TRUE or FALSE. If the statement is correct, write TRUE on your answer sheet. If the statement is incorrect, write FALSE. Explain why you answered TRUE or FALSE. 1. When marginal utility is increasing, total utility is increasing at a decreasing rate. 2. A negative marginal utility implies that the consumer has reached a point of satiation. 3. The marginal rate of substitution (MRS) is the slope of the indifference curve. This implies that the rate a consumer substitute siapao for hopia is based on their marginal utilities.
