A consumer has preferences on Amazon original shows (x), and the composite good (y) described as u(x,y) = x2y (HINT: MUx = 2xy and MUy = x2) and she has I = $300 budget in total. Assume pY = $1, so we can think of y as the saved dollars in her pocket for other uses. Now, if she is not an amazon prime member, each show costs pX = $10, but if she is a prime member, then pX = $4. Amazon prime membership costs $120. (a) Draw her feasible budget set on the x-y axis for the no-prime-membership case, and the prime-membership case, separately. (b) If she chooses not to be a prime member, what is her optimal bundle (x,y) ?(c) If she chooses to become a prime member, what is her optimal bundle (x,y) ?(d) What is her optimal utility in (b)?in (c)? Would she want to become a prime member?
Consider an agent who want to maximize her utility function, u (C₁, C₂) = C₁ C₂ subject to the budget constraint, c₁ + pc₂ = w with C₁, C₂ > 0 indicating consumption of commodity 1 and 2, respectively, while p>0 and w>0 are exogenously given parameters, indicating the relative price of good 2 and the relative wealth in term of good 1's price. Decide whether the following claims are true or false. W • The value of the Lagrange multiplier is λ = 2p False True w² • The value function u(w) is equal to u(w) = 4p True False • λ(w) measures the approximate change in utility that can be obtained from an increase/decrease in wealth w.

Vhee Ayar lives alone in a computer lab where it spends 10 hours per day producing spurious orside calls (denoted xf) and awarding incomprehensible penalties (denoted xp). Vhee Ayar can conjure 8 offside calls per hour, and it can summon 6 penalties per hour. The utility that Vhee Ayar derives from offside calls and penalties is captured by the utility function U(Xf, xp) = 3xf x05. How many offside calls and penalty kicks will Vhee Ayar choose to produce/consume each day?
Damian and Kira trade in antique cars. They typically buy either 1 or 2 cars at any given time, since they are difficult to find and expensive. The price per car P(Q) where Qis the total number of cars traded at a given time, is determined by the demand equation: K P(Q) 1 where K is a positive constant. If a € {1, 2} is Damian's choice and b = {1,2} is Kira's choice, (so Q = (a + b)) it costs Damian 2a to find and prepare a cars for market, and it costs Kira 3b to get b cars ready for market. Damian has better connections and access the cars before Kira, and so Damian chooses his value of a first. Kira then chooses his value of b, knowing Damian's choice. Their choices are determined by maximising their individual profits, ie the difference between how much they can sell their cars for, minus the total costs to prepare them for sale. (i) Express this game as an extensive form game tree, making sure to fully label all the nodes and links, and especially writing down their payoffs. (ii)…

The utility derived by a consumer from the consumption of two commodities is given by the function U (A, B) = 0.5In (A) + 0.5 In (B) where A are the number of units of the first commodity consumed and B are the number of units of the second commodity consumed each month. A unit of the first commodity costs $8 and a unit of the second commodity costs $ 4 using the Lagrange multiplier method determine the optimal quantity of each of the commodities consumed each month given that consumer has $32 to spend on both commodities each month
If Utility function is of form U = 12x1 + 10x2 + log(x2), with prices of goods of the form p1= 5 and p2= 10. If monetary Income is 500, we ask:(a) Determine optimal quantities for x1 and x2 and establish utility obtained by consumer.b) If Monetary Income falls to 450, then how do you change quantities of x1 and x2 that maximizes consumer's utility?
Suppose you find that MU1(X1Xx2)=2x2 and MU₂(x1+x₂)=2x1. What is the rate at which the consumer is willing to trade good 2 for good 1 at bundle (2,4)? (Note: enter a positive number, i.e. enter the quantity of good 2 that the consumer is willing to give up for an additional-marginal-unit of good 1.) Question 20 Suppose you find that the expressions of the marginal utilities for a consumer are given by MU1 (1,2)= 2 and MU₂ (1,2)= 7. Then you can conclude that: This consumer has Cobb-Douglas tastes For this consumer good 1 and good 2 are perfect complements For this consumer good 1 and good 2 are perfect substitutes None of the above Question 21 Suppose a consumer is always willing to give up 5 units of good 2 for an additional unit of good 1. For this consumer: Good 1 and good 2 are perfect complements Good 1 and good 2 are perfect substitutes Good 1 and good 2 are both essential goods None of the above

Knowing that Caesar's preferences over apples (X) and oranges (Y) can be represented by the utility function U = 2X0.5y0.5, select the correct option about the bundles on the graph: ORANGES A D ● B E APPLES Caesar's ranking is, definitely, E>D> C>A-B. Caesar's ranking is, possibly, E> A-B>D>C. O We do not have enough information to know how Caesar ranks these bundles. O A and C might be on the same indifference curve.
