If people do not have a complete mental picture of total utility for every level of consumption, how can they find their utility-maximizing consumption choice?
Would you expect total utility to rise or fall with additional consumption of a good? Why?
If we have money, we buy goods and services to satisfy our needs. In economics, thesatisfaction that we get from the consumption of goods and services is called utility. Usea utility graph to explain what happen to the utility when you keep on increasing thenumber of units consumed. Also explain what happens to the utility when you keep onincreasing the number of units consumed. Also explain what happens to the additionalutility (i.e. additional satisfaction) when you increase your consumption by one unit

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?
Law of Diminishing Marginal UtilityIndicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. Explain why.A.The law of diminishing marginal utility states that as an individual increases consumption of a given product within a set period of time, the utility gained from consumption eventually declines.B.Marginal utility measures the added satisfaction derived from a one-unit increase in consumption, holding consumption of other goods and services constant.C.When goods are relatively scarce, the law of diminishing marginal utility means that the added value of another unit of goods will be small in relation to the added value of another unit of services.D.The law of diminishing marginal utility gives rise to a downward-sloping demand curve for all goods and services.

What is the effect of the fall in Sara’s income on her real income in terms ofsmoothies and in terms of popcorn?h. What is the effect of the fall in Sara’s income on the relative price of a smoothiein terms of popcorn? What is the slope of Sara’s new budget line if it is drawnwith smoothies on the x-axis?
Explain how does adecrease in the current income y affect the consumer’s consumption-saving decision. In particular,explain: 1) How will current consumption c, future consumption c', and savings s change; 2) Arethere any substitution effect or income effect. Make sure you draw two figures, one for the borrowersand one for the lenders.

Only typed answer and don't use chat gpt and don't answer in table 2. Charlie consumes apples (A) and bananas (B). His utility function is . The price of apples is $1, the price of bananas is $2, and Charlie’s income is $40. The price of bananas suddenly falls to $1. (a) Before the price change, how many apples and bananas did Charlie consume? (b) After the price change, how many apples and bananas did Charlie consume? (c) If after the price change, Charlie’s income had changed so that he could only attain his original level of utility, how many apples and bananas would he have consumed? (d) What are the magnitudes of the price, substitution, and income effects for the consumption of bananas?
ceriuppose that Isaiah has a weekly fixed budget and spends it all on haircuts and ice cream. At his current combination arof consumption, the marginal utility of the last dollar spent on haircuts is greater than the marginal utility of the last dollar spent on ice cream. Has Isaiah maximized his utility? A C E Yes, because changing his current consumption combination will reduce his total utility B No, because he can increase his total utility by purchasing more haircuts and D fewer ice creams Yes, because he has purchased 2 goods in proportion so that he can get- the maximum utility from each Yes, because he purchased the maximum possible with a limited budget No, because he can increase his total utility by purchasing fewer haircuts and more ice creams
