Suppose Duncan budgets $20 a week for entertainment. He can either go bowling for $4 a game,
or play mini golf for $6 a game. Duncan maximizes his total utility by bowling twice and playing two
games of mini golf. If the marginal utility from his second game of mini golf equals 12, what is the
marginal utility per dollar from his second game of bowling?

- Suppose that with a budget of $100, Deborah spends $60 on sushi and $40 on bagels when sushi costs $2 per piece and bagels cost $2 per bagel. But then, after the price of bagels falls to $1 per bagel, she spends $50 on sushi and $50 on bagels. How many pieces of sushi and how many bagels did Deborah consume before the price change? At the new prices, how much money would it have cost Deborah to buy those same quantities (the ones that she consumed before the price change)? Given that it used to take Deborah’s entire $100 to buy those quantities, how big is the income effect caused by the reduction in the price of bagels?arrow_forwardJill likes to consume coffee and cream in a very particular way: with every cup ofcoffee she always consumes two 0.5 oz. cream containers.

After consuming one Coke, John has a total utility of 10 utils. After two Cokes, he has a total utility of 25 utils. After three Cokes, he has a total utility of 50 utils. Does John show diminishing marginal utility for Coke, or does he show increasing marginal utility for Coke? Supposethat John has $3 in his pocket. If Cokes cost $1 each and John is willing to spend one of his dollars on purchasing a first can of Coke, would he spend his second dollar on a Coke, too? What about the third dollar? If John’s marginal utility for Coke keeps on increasing no matter how many Cokes he drinks, would it be fair to say that he is addicted to Coke?arrow_forward

A trip to the movies takes 3 hours, and each visit to the climbing gym lasts 5 hours.Further, suppose that Ronald has a fixed monthly monetary budget to spend on leisure activities. He currently exhausts this entire budget by watching two movies and visiting the climbinggym fifteen times. With this monthly budget, he would also have been able to afford exactlyseven movies and six visits to the climbing gym.Assume that both goods are perfectly divisible.(b) Show, using algebra, that Ronald’s two budget lines intersect at the bundle (x, y) =(5.5, 8.7).arrow_forward#17arrow_forward#7arrow_forward
