- Would you expect total utility to rise or fall with additional consumption of a good? Why?Jeremy is deeply in love with Jasmine. Jasmine lives where cell phone coverage is poor, so he can either call her on the land-line phone for five cents per minute or he can drive to see her, at a round—trip cost of 2 in gasoline money. He has a total of 10 per week to spend on staying in touch. To make his preferred choice, Jeremy uses a handy utilimometer that measures his total utility from personal visits and from phone minutes. Using the values in Table 6.6, figure out the points 011 Jeremys consumption choice budget constraint (it may be helpful to do a sketch) and identify his utility-maximizing point.Is it possible for total utility to increase while marginal utility diminishes? Explain.
- 3. Based on each scenario in this question, indicate whether the following statements is true or false, and briefly explain your reasoning. You may also want to use a graph in your explanation if you think it's necessary. a) Mike makes $500 per week and spends all her income on books and tea. Books cost $25 each, and Mike buys 16 each week. Tea costs $5 per cup, and Mike buys 20 cups. When Mike's income falls to $450 per week, he cuts his consumption of books by 3 books and purchases 5 more cups of tea. Based on Mike's consumption behaviors, books are an inferior good and Tea is a normal good. b) Lucy consumes food and clothing. For incomes near her current income, her income expansion path is negatively sloped. Assume that food is measured along the horizontal axis and clothing is measured along the vertical axis. Therefore, at current income levels, both food and clothing must be inferior good. c) For any normal goods, the income and substitution effects work in the same direction.…1. An individual's budget Suppose Darnell has a weekly budget of $32 to spend on ranch dressing and spinach. Ranch dressing is priced at $4 per bottle, and spinach is priced at $2 per container. If Darnell spends his entire $32 on ranch dressing, he can buy 16 containers of spinach. 8 bottles of ranch dressing. If he spends his entire $32 on spinach, he can buy Use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Darnell's budget constraint on the following graph. Next, use the orange point (square symbol) to shade the area that represents combinations of ranch dressing and spinach that are affordable for Darnell. Finally, place the black point (plus symbol) on the point on Darnell's budget constraint that corresponds to a scenario in which Darnell spends $16 on each good. Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes.The nearby graph shows Claudia's budget constraint for purchases of shoes and purses.

- -A Suppose that with a budget of $160, Fatima spends $96 on sushi and $64 on bagels when sushi costs $2 per piece and bagels cost $2 per bagel. Then, after the price of bagels falls to $1 per bagel. Instructions: Enter your answers as a whole number. How many pieces of sushi and how many bagels did Fatima consume before the price change? pieces of sushi and bagels At the new prices, how much money would it have cost Fatima to buy those same quantities (that is, the quantities that she consumed before the price change)? Given that it used to take Fatima's entire $160 to buy those quantities, how big is the income effect caused by the lower price of bagels?5. Vera is an impoverished graduate student who has only $100 a month to spend on food. She has read in a government publication that she can assure an adequate diet by eating only peanut butter and carrots in the Öxed ratio of 2 pounds of peanut butter to 1 pound of carrots, so she decides to limit her diet to that regime. a) If peanut butter costs $4 per pound and carrots cost $2 per pound, how much can she eat during the month? b) Suppose peanut butter costs rise to $5 because of peanut subsidied introduced by a politically sensitive government. By how much will Vera have to reduce her food purchases? c) How much in food stamp aid would the government have to give Vera to compensate for the e§ects of peanut subsidy? d) Explain why Veraís preferences are of a very special type here. How would you graph them?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

Unfortunately, the price doubles but your rich uncle gives you extra $80 to spend on breakfast. Are you better off or worse off than before? Explain; use graph in your answer. Make sure that you labelled the axes and all the shapes in your graph1. An individual's budget Suppose Musashi has a weekly budget of $24 to spend on juice and yogurt. Juice is priced at $2 per gallon, and yogurt is priced at $6 per container. If Musashi spends his entire $24 on juice, he can buy gallons of juice. If he spends his entire $24 on yogurt, he can buy containers of yogurt. Use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Musashi's budget constraint on the following graph. Next, use the orange point (square symbol) to shade the area that represents combinations of juice and yogurt that are affordable for Musashi. Finally, place the black point (plus symbol) on the point on Musashi's budget constraint that corresponds to a scenario in which Musashi spends $12 on each good.
