- 18. Declining MRSXY implies that:(a) The total utility is decreasing along an indifference curve(b) The consumer’s preferences do not satisfy the more-is-better principle(c) The consumer is willing to give up more and more X for additional Y as the consumption of X increases along an indifference curve(d) The consumer is willing to give up less and less X for additional Y as the consumptionof X increases along an indifference curve1. For each of the three utility functions below, find the substitution effect, the income effect, and the total effect that result when prices change from p = (2,1) to p' = (2,4). Assume the consumer has income I = 20. (a) Before doing any calculation, make an educated guess about the relative magnitude of the three substitution effects and the three income effects to be found below. (b) u(x1, x2) = x1 + x2. (c) u(x1, x2) = x1x2. (d) u(x1,x2) = min {x1,x2). (e) Rank the substitution effects and the income effects found above by their magnitude. To what extent do they conform to your guess?5) Consider indifference curves for the consumption of milk and chocolates (you may assume that both are 'goods'). The indifference curves are drawn with the number of chocolate bars on the horizontal axis and pints of milk on the vertical axis. Suppose that at every point, consumer A's indifference curve is flatter than consumer B's. What can you conclude about consumers A and B tastes and preferences?
- PROBLEM (1) Suppose a consumer has just enough money to afford the bundle of 3 apples and 2 oranges, and similarly she also has just enough money to afford the bundle of 2 apples and 4 oranges. (a) Denoting the number of apples with x and oranges with y, plot the two given bundles on a graph, and calculate the relative price of apples; px/ py. (b) If she buys only apples with her budget, how many can she buy? If she buys only oranges, how many can she buy? Write down the budget equation for the consumer. (Notice that knowing two points on the budget line, you can write down the budget equation, even though you weren't given the prices nor the income explicitly!) (c) Suppose MUx = 20 and MUY = 30 at some point on the budget line. Is she maximizing utility by choosing this bundle? If not, should she buy fewer apples (and more oranges), or more apples (and fewer oranges), to increase her utility? (d) Forget about (c); instead, you learn that her utility function is u(x,y) = Axy³. What is…10) Figure 1 shows some indifference curves and budget lines for consumer Yusuf. Milk A B Cheese Figure 1 If Yusuf's income increases, his optimal consumption changes from point A to point B. Which of the following statements is true for Yusuf? (a) Cheese and milk are substitutes. (b) Cheese is an inferior good. (c) Milk is an inferior good . (d) Milk is a normal good. (e) None of the above.Quantity of cola 600 400 300 Quantity of pizza 200 A consumer has a total budget of $800 to spend on pizza and cola. 1) Find the price of pizza and that of cola at the initial budget line. What is the slope of the initial budget line. 2) If the prices of the two goods remain the same, what is the new budget of the consumer? How does the consumption of the consumer change? What is the new slope of his budget line?

Draw a budget constraint, indifference curves, and the consumer's optimal point for pizza and Pepsi. Show what happens to the budget constraint and the consumer's optimum when the price of pizza increases.12 2 4 6 8 Water (bottles per day) The figure above shows three of a consumer's indifference curves. Which point is most preferred? Point Conly Point Gonly Point Jonly Points Cand G are tied for the most preferred. More information is needed to determine which point is most preferred. 2.
- How does the law of diminishing marginal utility relate to changing income? Select one: a. The marginal benefit of an extra dollar of income rises as income rises. b. The marginal benefit of an extra dollar of income falls as income rises. c. The total utility gained from a small income is higher than the total utility gained from a high income. d. The total utility gained from a high income is higher than the total utility gained from a low income.Higher Indifference curve means: (a) Consumer has got increment in income (b) Higher utility (c) Prices of product have reducedThe graph shows the budget line for a consumer who only buys cookies and magazines. If the consumer's income is $20, what is the price of a Magazine? 24 20 16 4 2 4 6 8 10 12 Magazines (number per week) dollar(s) Cookies (number per week)
