Refer to the table below. If the subscription price for a sports app is $2 per week, the subscription price of a game app is $1 per week, and a student has $9 per week to spend, what quantities will she purchase at a consumer optimum? Quantity of Sports Apps per week Marginal Utility (utils) Quantity of Game Apps per Week Marginal Utility (utils) 1 1,200 1 1,700 2 1,000 2 1,400 3 800 3 1,100 4 600 4 800 5 400 5 500 6 100 6 200

Gabriella obtains utility from consuming granola bars and cappuccino. The following table shows the total utility (TU) she obtains from consuming different amounts of the two goods. The price of a granola bar is $3 and the price of a cup of cappuccino is $2. She has allocated $9 to spend on granola bars and cappuccino. 1. Complete the table by calculating the marginal utility (MU) and the MU per dollar spent on each granola bar and cup of cappuccino. 2. What is Gabriella’s optimal consumption bundle of granola bars and cups of cappuccino?

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

The marginal utility for shoes and coffee is given below for five individuals. A pair of shoes costs $2, and a cup of coffee costs $1. Which of these consumers are optimizing over their choices? Explain  For those who are not, how should they adjust their spending? Explain  “Pasta is Miguel’s favorite meal therefore the law of diminishing marginal utility does not apply”. Do you agree with this statement?  It is known that the indifference curve is convex. What does this tell you about the relationship between the goods?  The income effect and the substitution effect work in the same direction for a normal good. Explain how this differs for an inferior good.

Jackie has a budget of $36 per month to spend on snacks. She can spend this budget on bags of potato chips (C) and Hershey chocolate bars (H). Potato chips cost $4 per bag, while Hershey bars cost $1 per bar. The utility that Jackie receives from consuming potato chips and Hershey bars is represented by the following utility function: U=3C2 H. Given that Jackie seeks to maximize her utility, find the number of potato chip bags and Hershey chocolate bars that Jackie will purchase each month.

Lorenzo enjoys going to the theater to see plays, and he also enjoys going to rock concerts. The following diagram shows two of Lorenzo's indifference curves for going to plays and concerts. With Lorenzo's initial budget constraint (BC1), he chose to go to five concerts and three plays per month (point X). Then his budget constraint shifted to BC2, and he chose to go to four concerts and six plays per month (point Y). PLAYS 10 0 4 5 CONCERTS BC 8 Show Transcribed Text BC 10 C Of the following choices, which could have shifted Lorenzo's budget constraint from BC₁ to BC₂? Check all that apply. The price of theater tickets increased while his income and the price of concert tickets stayed the same. His income decreased while the prices of theater and concert tickets stayed the same. His income increased while the prices of theater and concert tickets stayed the same. The prices of both theater and concert tickets decreased while his income stayed the same. Based on Lorenzo's consumption…

Suppose Jack's utility function U(m, e) = min(m, e). Graph Jack's indifference curves when U = 4 and U = 8. B. Leslie buys 2 goods: z and y. His utility function is U(z,y) = 5x+3y. 1. Plot this consumer's indifference curves when U = 15 and U = 20. What is the shape of Leslie's indifference curves? 3. For Leslie, how are these two goods related? C. Leslie's friend Tim has a different utility function for the same goods U(x, y) = √zy. 1. Plot this consumer's indifference curves when U = 15 and Ū = 20. 2. What is the shape of Tim's indifference curves? D. A consumer's utility function for goods 2 and y is U(z,y) = x+2y. 2. 1. Calculate the consumer's marginal utility for each good at (2,2) (Hint: marginal utility represents the amount of utility the consumer gains by consuming one more unit of this good. You can…
