- Title Suppose that Lynn enjoys coconut oil in her coffee. She has very particular preferences, and she mus Description Suppose that Lynn enjoys coconut oil in her coffee. She has very particular preferences, and she must have exactly two spoonfuls of coconut oil for each cup of coffee. Let C be the number of cups of coffee, and O be the number of spoonfuls of coconut oil. Also, let PC be the price of a cup of coffee. Suppose Lynn has $12 to spend on coffee and coconut oil. Also, the price of coconut oil is $.50 per spoonful.a) Graph Lynnâs Price Consumption Curve for prices, PC = $1, PC = $2, and PC = $3. Please put the number of cups of coffee on the horizontal axis, and the number of spoonfuls of coconut oil on the vertical axis.

While on her way home she lost the receipt, but fortunately she can still receive store credit based from the total value of products. While approaching the customer service representative , she thought of this what if she sticks with her original plan of buying bread alone with no juice and vice versa.

They have chosen to buy you 8 packs of hot chocolate and 10 packs of luxury biscuits. Unfortunately, the hot chocolate is not milk chocolate and the biscuits are chocolate chip and not your favourite ginger biscuits! They haven't provided the receipt, but you return to the shop where the hamper was bought and ask to exchange the items. Each pack of hot chocolate was priced at £5 and each pack of biscuits was priced at £6. You face a utility function of U (Hċ, B) = H²B. When you return to the shop, you see that all of the biscuits are now half price, but all of the types of hot chocolate haven't changed in price. You are able to exchange your biscuits and hot chocolate, but can only receive a refund based on the current marked price of the products in the shop. Given this information and assuming hot chocolate is on the horizontal axis and your aim to maximise utility, what should you do? (a) You…arrow_forward
