- Q6) Utility Ratio and Consumption Maximization A consumer downloads 3 movies and 4 apps per week. Suppose the price is $2 per movie and $2 per app, and the marginal utility for this consumption level is 6 for a movie and 8 for an app. Instructions: Round your responses to one decimal place. a. Calculate, show the formula, marginal utility per dollar. ..Per movie ......Per app b. Is this optimal consumption? c. If not, how should they change their consumption to maximize?arrow_forwardPlease find the attachment.arrow_forwardDave currently consumes 10 hot dogs and 6 sodas each week. At his current consumption basket, his marginal utility for hot dogs is 5 and his marginal utility for sodas is 3. If the price of one hot dog is $1 and the price of one soda is $0.50, is Dave currently maximizing his utility? If not, how should he reallocate his spending to increase utility?arrow_forward
- Please see the attached question.arrow_forwardInfo in imagesarrow_forwardRohan’s current marginal utility from consuming peanuts is 100 utils per ounce and his marginal utility from consuming cashews is 200 utils per ounce. If peanuts cost $0.10 per ounce and cashews cost $0.50 per ounce, is Rohan maximizing his total utility from the kinds of nuts? Enter your responses as whole numbers. At the current level of peanut consumption, Rohan receives: utils per dollar.At the current level of cashew consumption, Rohan receives: utils per dollar.Therefore, Rohan maximizing his total utility because MUp/Pp is MUc/Pc.arrow_forward
- Which of the following statement is TRUE Group of answer choices As the consumption of a good increases, marginal utility rises, but total utility falls. As the consumption of a good increases, total utility falls and marginal utility falls. As the consumption of a good increases, total utility rises, but marginal utility falls.arrow_forward2. If peanut butter brings you 30 utils of pleasure for the last dollar's worth, and the last dollar you spend on jelly brings you 15 utils of pleasure, what do you do? How does this relate to the law of diminishing marginal utility?arrow_forwardPlease helparrow_forward
- Consider the figures to the right. Suppose that the individual currently consumes 5 digital apps. What happens to the person's total utility if they reduce their consumption to 4 units? Why does this fact imply that the marginal utility curve cuts through the horizontal axis of the lower figure between the fourth and fifth app consumed? Reducing consumption to 4 apps from 5 apps leaves total utility at utils in the upper , which is the figure. Hence, the marginal utility between these two quantities of apps equals value of the axis in the lower figure. Thus, the marginal utility curve crosses the axis of the lower figure between units 4 and 5. (Enter your responses as whole numbers.) Marginal Utility (utils per week) 6- 4- 22 Total Utility (utils + q r per week) 14- 12- 10- 20 ø Ø 18- 04 0 Downloaded Digital Apps Utilized per Week Downloaded Digital Apps Utilized per Week G Qarrow_forwardMark consumes only cookies and books. At his current consumption bundle, his marginal utility frombooks is 10 and from cookies is 5. Each book costs $10, and each cookie costs $2. Is he maximizing his utility? Explain. If he is not, how can he increase his utility while keeping his total expenditure constant?arrow_forwardBob consumes food and housing. Suppose his marginal utility from an additional unit of food is 20 and his marginal utility from an additional unit of housing is 180. Furthermore, suppose the price of a unit of food is $1.00 and the price of a unit of housing is $2.00. Can Bob increase his utility without changing his total expenditures on food and housing? Holding expenditures constant, A. Bob can increase utility by spending more on food and less on housing. B. Bob can increase utility by spending more on food and the same amount on housing. C. Bob can increase utility by spending less on food and more on housing. D. Bob cannot increase his utility. E. Bob can increase utility by spending more on food and more on housing.arrow_forward
