Consider two bundles of coffee and chocolate and how Ted feels about them. The first bundle consists of two cups of coffee and two chocolate bars. The second bundle consists of one cup of coffee and three chocolate bars. If the first bundle gives Ted a total utility of 18 utils while the second bundle gives Ted a total utility of 19 bundles, could the two bundles be on the same indifference curve? Answer yes or no.

Amy consumes x and y and her preferences can be represented by the following utility function U(x,y) = 4x + y. 1. Are Amy's preferences transitive? 2. Does the marginal utility of x diminish, remain constant, or increase as the consumer buys more x? Explain. 6- 3. Can you use (2) to answer whether Amy's preferences are strictly monotonic? 4. What is MRS.y ? Is MRSx.y diminishing, constant, or increasing as the consumer substitutes x for y along an indifference curve? 5. On a graph with x on the horizontal axis and y on the vertical axis, draw a typical indifference curve. Also indicate on your graph whether the indifference curve will intersect either or both axes. Label the curve U1. 6. Are Amy's preferences convex? Are they strictly convex? Explain

Tessa likes both ice-creams and pies. However, if she eats too much of them, she gets sick. That is, cating ice-creams or pics beyond a certain amount lowers Tessa's utility. Draw a set of indifference curve which might represent Tessa's preferences for ice-creams and pies.

Jose has utility for UC Davis sporting events equal to U = S²B where S is the number of Soccer games and B is the number of baseball games. Baseball games cost $5 per game and Soccer games cost $10 per game. How many soccer games will Jose attend in his optimal bundle for ever baseball game? In other words, in his optimal bundle, S = xB. Second, if Jose has $90 to spend on sports, how many baseball games will he attend? In other words, Jose will attend baseball games in his optimal bundle. Third, if Jose's budget increases to $180, now how many baseball games will he attend? Jose will attend baseball games. Fourth, for Jose, is baseball a normal or inferior good? Enter the word "normal" or "inferior" here
