You are in the market for a new couch and havefound two advertisements for the kind of couchyou want to buy. One seller notes in her ad that sheis selling because she is moving to a smaller apartment, and the couch won’t fit in the new space.The other seller says he is selling because the couchdoesn’t match his other furniture. Which seller doyou expect to buy from? Why? ( Hint: Think whowould be the more motivated seller.)

T/F Explain A consumer’s budget line is kinked towards the origin (i.e., the kink is pointing towards the origin) if this consumer faces a lower price per unit of x as more x is consumed.
Alpha's Price Policy High Low OOOO A Multiple Choice C Beta's Price Policy High $20 $20 $10 $30 Low B $30 $10 $15 Refer to the diagram, where the numerical data show profits in millions of dollars. Beta's profits are shown in the northeast corner and Alpha's profits in the southwest corner of each cell. If Beta commits to a high-price policy, Alpha will gain the largest profit by $15 adopting a high-price policy. adopting a low-price policy. adopting a low-price policy, but only if Beta formally agrees to do the same. engaging in nonprice competition only.
Define Economic utility
A negative marginal utility implies that the consumer has reached a point of satiation.
Refer to the graph below Quantity of Y 160 0 Multiple Choice The consumer's income is $1,000 Why doesn't the consumer choose the combination at point B O Quantity of X 200 O The marginal utility of Y exceeds the marginal uplity of X O The consumer is willing to give up more X for an additional unit of Y than must be given up given the relative prices of X and Y. The marginal utility per dollar spent on X exceeds the marginal utility per dollar spent on Y The consumer is willing to give up more Y for an additional unt of X than must be given up given the relative prices of X and Y
Question 10 Which of the following startements about network externalities is CORRECT? Air pollution is an example of a network externality. For a good with network externalities, the number of people who are willing to buy a unit of the good is uniquely determined by the price. Network externalities are always positive. The manufacturer of a new good with network externalities might give away a free version of the good. For a good with network externalities, one person's valuation of the good is always increasing in the number of other people using the good.

If the subscription price for a sports app is $2 per week, the subscription price of a game app is $1 per week, and a student has $9 per week to spend, what quantities will she purchase at a consumer optimum?

Problem 1 Last week, neither Alistair nor Bodana purchased blueberries (x). Both consumers had $30 to spend on blueberries and/or raspberries (y), the price of the two fruits was $3 per pack and both consumers bought raspberries only. Alistair's utility for blueberries and raspberries is UA(x,y) = x+2y. Bodana's utility for blueberries and raspberries is UB(x,y) = x +12ln(y). a) In two separate graphs, illustrate Alistair's and Bodana's optimal choices. Your graphs must illustrate the consumers' budget constraints and their indifference curves at the optimal bundle. b) At their optimal bundle, what is Alistair's marginal rate of substitution of raspberries for blueberries (- MUx/MUy)? At their optimal bundle, what is Bodana's marginal rate of substitution? This week, blueberries cost $3 per pack just like last week, however raspberries now cost $4 per pack. c) How many packs of blueberries and raspberries will Alistair buy this week? Clearly justify your answer. d) Using the…
