There are two shows on Netflix that Jeff can watch, Show 1 and Show 2. x₁ measures the number ofepisodes watched of Show 1 and x2 measures the number of episodes watched of Show 2. Jeff'spreferences can be represented by u(x₁, x₂) = x² + ax². Jeff has 5 hours available for watching Netflixtoday. Each episode of Show 1 lasts 30 minutes, while each episode of Show 2 lasts one hour. For allquestion parts, round to three decimal places if necessary.

PROBLEM (1) Suppose a consumer has just enough money to afford the bundle of 3 apples and 2 oranges, and similarly she also has just enough money to afford the bundle of 2 apples and 4 oranges. (a) Denoting the number of apples with x and oranges with y, plot the two given bundles on a graph, and calculate the relative price of apples; px/ py. (b) If she buys only apples with her budget, how many can she buy? If she buys only oranges, how many can she buy? Write down the budget equation for the consumer. (Notice that knowing two points on the budget line, you can write down the budget equation, even though you weren't given the prices nor the income explicitly!) (c) Suppose MUx = 20 and MUY = 30 at some point on the budget line. Is she maximizing utility by choosing this bundle? If not, should she buy fewer apples (and more oranges), or more apples (and fewer oranges), to increase her utility? (d) Forget about (c); instead, you learn that her utility function is u(x,y) = Axy³. What is…
If the prices for goods A & B are $5 & $12, respectively, and a customer has $200, which basket of goods (A, B) gives her the highest satisfaction that she can afford? (10, 10) We need her indifference curves (preferences) to know. (16,10) (10, 15) (15, 10)
(a) A good is a luxury if it has a budget elasticity larger than 1, (i.e., good k is a luxury if εk ≡∂qk/∂m *m/qk> 1). Show that when a good is a luxury, then if a consumer’s total budget rises, theywill raise the share of their budget they allocate to the good. (b) Suppose m is the total budget a consumer has available to spend on three electronic products,a laptop, a phone and a tablet. Can all three of these goods simultaneously be luxuries? Whyor why not?
4.An individual consumes products X and Y and spends $30 per time period. The prices of the two goods are $3 per unit for X and $3 per unit for Y. The consumer in this case has a utility function expressed as: U(X.Y) = 0.5XY How much X should this individual consume, given that he is maximizing the utility? ( A) 4.17 ( B) 5 (C)6 D) 6.25
Please help me to solve questions (a) (b) (e). (especially question e). thank you!
If the utility function (U) between food (F) and clothing (C) can be represented as U = F*C, then which combination of food and clothing will a rational consumer choose? a. (F, C) = (9, 25) O b. (F, C) = (25, 4) O c. (F, C) = (4, 16) d. (F, C) = (4, 25)

Jane insists on consuming 4 bowls of yogurt with 2 bananas. If the price of banana is $1 per unit and the price of yogurt is $1 per bowl, then if Jane income is $m, the slope of the Engel curve for bananas will be (a) negatíve and constant. (b) negative and increasing. (c) zero. (d) positive and constant. (e) None of the above.
Question 3 A certain household comprises of a couple, Adam (A) and Betty (B). They have lexicographic preferences over two goods G1 and G2 - A wants to consume as much of G1 as possible, before moving on to G2 whereas, for B, it is the opposite, she wants to consume as much of G2 as possible before moving on to G1.¹ Given their varying preferences, they decide to shop separately, after dividing the household income equally. The household income is $8. One difference to the usual setting - there are government restrictions in place so that no individual is allowed to buy more than two units of either good. Hint: Do not use mathematical brute force (like Calculus) to solve this problem. A simple diagram with appropriate budget lines, etc. should suffice. 1) Suppose prices are p= (P₁, P2) = (1,2). Denote the optimal choice of A and B as a= b= (b₁,b₂) respectively. Solve for a and b. (a1, a2) and
PROBLEM (4) Zoey has $3 budget in total and can spend her money on cookies (x) and bananas (y).She has preferences over cookies and bananas represented by u(x,y) = x?y. The first 5 cookies are free for Zoey, but each additional cookie costs $1. Bananas are always $1 each. (a) Draw her feasible budget set, identifying all the intercepts, kinks, etc... (b) What is her optimal bundle? (c) What is her optimal bundle if she only had a $2 budget? (d) Suppose she has $2 budget, but now not only the first 5 cookies are free, but also the first 3 bananas (additional cookies or bananas are $1 each as before). Draw her budget set and calculate her optimal bundle.
