1. Doreen is looking for a flat to rent in Brighton. a. In choosing a flat, she cares about two characteristics: the number of bedrooms (x), and the number of bathrooms (y). Her utility function is U(x,y) = min(x, 2y). She has £1000 to spent on rent per month. The rental price per bedroom in Brighton is £400, and the price per bathroom is £200. (For example, a flat with three bedrooms and two bathrooms would rent for £1600 per month.) How many bedrooms and bathrooms does Doreen choose to rent optimally? b. Doreen now needs to furnish her flat. She has £500 to spend. However, she would also like to buy some clothes for her new job. The cost of furniture f is £50 per unit and the cost of clothing c is £20 per unit. Her utility function over furniture and clothing is U(f.c) = f0.3c0.7. How much does she spend in total on furniture, and on clothing? c. The local furniture shop runs a flash sale of 50% off, on all prices. How much does Doreen now spend on furniture, and on clothing?…
Tony is throwing a party at his Fraternity and is trying to choose what booze to buy. A bottle of vodka has three times the alcohol as a six-pack of beer. Assume that Tony only cares about the total amount of alcohol in his basket. (use vodka on the X-axis and beer measured in six-pack on the Y-axis) a) Devise a utility function to represent these preferences. b) Suppose a bottle of vodka costs $40, a six-pack of beer costs $10, and the budget is $200. Write the budget constraint. c) Solve Tony’s utility maximization problem and find the optimal combination. d) Suppose that a bottle of vodka cost has increased to $50. What will be his new optimal combination.
Question: How We Can Check Convexity And Monotonicity Of The Utility Function. How we can check convexity and monotonicity of the utility function.
II. Your preferences are represented by the utility function U(x₁, x₂) = (x² − x²)0.5 for x₁ > 0, x₂ > 0, and x² > x².
The following figure shows the indifference curves and two budget line of student Tuna whose choices are apple and banana. The Initial price of Banana is €4/kg, when budget line is B1. Initially Tuna was at equilibrium at point A. Answer the following questions according to the information given on the diagram. Show your calculations below. a. What is the weekly Income of Tuna? (). b. If Tuna's initial preference is at A how much Banana she consumes? (" c. If Price of Banana decreases to €3/kg and she moves to point B, how much Apple she will consume at B? (. d. If the demand curve for Banana will be derived by using the indifference curves on figure 1, what will be the Price and quantity coordinates of Point A and Point B on figure 2? Apples Price Bananas Quantity
3. You have an income of $24 per week and the only two goods you consume are apples (x1) and orange juice (x2). The price per apple is $4 and the price of a bottle of orange juice is $3. Suppose that your weekly optimal consumption bundle is 4 bottles of orange juice and 3 apples . a. Illustrate this in a graph using indifference curves and budget lines. Be sure to fully label the graph. b. Write down the conditions for utility maximization and relate this to the graph that you drew. c. Now suppose that the price of apples falls to $2, and I take enough money away from you such that you are just as well off as you were before, will you buy more of fewer bottles of orange juice? Explain why or why not in words and with a graph. (Hint: think about income and substitution effects
Suppose Jeff has a perfect substitute preferences for watching movies (M) and TV (T) shows. Jeff's MRSTM is such that he is always indifferent between watching one movie and five TV shows independent of the amount of goods consumed. Which of the following statements is true? If Jeff had a choice between 1 movie and 1 TV show before bed, he would choose to watch the movie. If Jeff has already watched 3 movies and no TV shows, then he would prefer to watch a TV show next. He is indifferent between watching 1 TV show or 1 movie before bed. Jeff would prefer watching 2 TV shows and no movies over watching 2 Movies and no TV shows.
I. You only consume two goods and your preferences are represented by utility function 2 U(x₁, x₂) = (x1.5 + x2.5) for x₁ > 2 and x₂ > 0.
34) Suppose that left shoes and right shoes must be purchased separately. Ingrid needs an equal number of each type of shoe and has a budget of $100 for shoes. Left shoes always cost $1. If right shoes cost $19 each, how many of each will Ingrid buy? If the price of right shoes increases to $49 each, how will Ingrid react? Explain your answer by drawing the indifference curves-budget lines. 35) Johnny has $100 to spend on books and all other goods. Books cost $20 each and Johnny is at equilibrium consuming 3 books and $40 worth of other goods. Johnny's grandmom wants to give Johnny either a book or $20 for his birthday. Which gift does Johnny prefer? Explain using an indifference map and budget lines.
