Suppose Marcus eats nothing but burritos for dinner. He buys 30 burritos each month. During the last couple of weeks, Marcus noticed a decrease in the price of burritos. The price of burritos fell from $6.00 per burrito last month to $5.75 per burrito this month. Assume that Marcus has a fixed income of $180 that he can spend on burritos. How many burritos can Marcus afford to buy at the new price of $5.75?

If your annual demand for renting videos is P = 7.5 - 2.7Q, If purchasing an membership guarantees that you can rent as movies as you like for $ 0.14 per video. How many movies will you rent per year? 2.72 What is the most that you will pay the for the annual membership? $ 3.8

Thomas has utility function U(x, y) = x^1/2y^1/2 and faces prices px = 1 and py = 1 and has income | = 10. Suppose the price of x increases to px = 4. How much does his income need to increase for him to be just as well off as before the price increase?

help me with this and include explanations. thanks

Terry’s utility function over leisure (L) and other goods (Y ) is U(L, Y ) = Y + LY. The associated marginal utilities are MUY = 1 + L and MUL = Y. He purchases other goods at a price of $1, out of the income he earns from working. Show that, no matter what Terry’s wage rate, the optimal number of hours of leisure that he consumes is always the same. (a)   What is the number of hours he would like to have for leisure?  Determine the MRS of leisure for labour (b)  Draw a leisure-influenced labor curve

Greg has the following utility function: u=2057 20.43. He has an income of $96.00, and he faces these prices: (P1, P2) (9.00, 9.00). Suppose that the price of an increases by $1.00. Calculate the equivalent variation for this price change. =

Terry attends college and works part-time in a drug store. She can work up to 40 hours per week and is paid $9 per hour. With her schoolwork and other responsibilities, she only has 40 hours per week total to devote to work and leisure. The following table shows her utility from different levels of leisure and income.   Hours of Leisure Total Utility from Leisure Marginal Utility of Leisure Work Hours Income Total Utility from Income Marginal Utility from Income 5 18   5 45 35   10 34   10 90 59   15 48   15 135 77   20 56   20 180 86   25 60   25 225 92   30 65   30 270 98   35 69   35 315 103   40 72   40 360 107   Terry decides to decrease her work hours from 20 to 10. What will be her total utility from both leisure and income when working 10 hours per week?

Suppose you have a monthly income of $1000, $850 in monthly expenses, and you can put money in a savings account that yields a monthly interest rate of 4%. Create a budget constraint showing the trade-off between present consumption (horizontal axis) and future consumption (vertical axis). How much will you have in the future if you choose to consume $850 now? Show this point on your budget constraint.

A consumer has a budget set aside for entertainment during the year, and they spend the budget on concerts and plays. The consumer has a strong preference for attending concerts over plays: the two activities are substitutes, but not very strong substitutes. Sketch the indifference curves for this consumer on a graph, with concert tickets on the vertical axis and play tickets on the horizontal axis. Briefly explain why the consumer might ultimately choose to purchase a large number of play tickets, even though they have a strong preference for concerts. Include a budget line on your graph to illustrate this case.

Jack's marginal utility of consumption is MUc = L - 6, and the marginal utility of leisure is MUL=C-40. Jack does not have any nonlabor income, i.e., V = 0. Jack faces a $48 an hour wage rate. Jack's total number of hours available per week is 150. What is Jack's optimal choice of consumption? (calculate to 2 decimal places)
