(3) Willig is willing to pay as much as $130 to buy the last ticket to a music concert at Canada's Wonderland, while Norman is willing to pay as much as $200 for a ticket. Willig is first in line and buys a ticket for $110. He then resells his ticket to Norman for $170. Assume that both took rational decisions given their options. Willig by reselling his ticket rather than going to the concert himself, caused the total surplus, (a) to increase by $70 (b) to remain unchanged to increase by $90 to decrease by $20 to increase by $30 none of the options are correct (c) (d) (e) (f)

Each day Paul, who is in third grade, eats lunch at school. He likes only Twinkies (t) and soda (s), andthese provide him a utility ofutility = U (t s) =square root (ts).a. If Twinkies cost $0.10 each and soda costs $0.25 per cup, how should Paul spend the $1 hismother gives him in order to maximize his utility?b. If the school tries to discourage Twinkie consumption by raising the price to $0.40, by howmuch will Paul’s mother have to increase his lunch allowance to provide him with the same levelof utility he received in part (a)?
Suppose you observe a person's answer to two decision problems. Problem 1: You are offered $40 today. What is the minimum amount x you demand one month from today in order to be willing to give up the $40 now? Answer: x = 52. Problem 2: Your are offered $40 today. What is the minimum amount x you demand one year from today in order to be willing to give up the $40 now? Answer: $60. 1. Demonstrate that the rational model of time preferences is violated for this choice pattern. 2. Derive this individual's B and d for the hyperbolic time discounting model. 3. Suppose the utility you get from eating ice cream now is 10 utils. But you pay a cost of -4 utils per hour for the next 4 hours, because it gives you indigestion and makes you feel lethargic. If your hourly B and d for this problem are B = .6 and d = .9, ... 1. What is the total discounted utility of eating ice cream now? 2. What is your total discounted utility now of planning to eat ice cream after lunch tomorrow? 3. Do you eat ice…
PROBLEM 4 – Weak Axiom of Revealed Preference (WARP) Kenangan likes to have time at a coffee shop that also sells “roti bakar.” When the price of a cup of coffee was 10,000 rupiah and the price of roti bakar was 20,000 rupiah, Kenangan ordered three cups of coffee and two pieces of roti bakar. When a pandemic happens, there are increases in the price of coffee. Now the price of a cup of coffee is 12,000 rupiah while the price of roti bakar is down to 16.000 rupiah. Kenangan now orders two cups of coffee and one piece of roti bakar. Determine whether Kenangan’s demand for a cup of coffee and roti bakar fulfills the WARP. Explain using graphics!
1) Jackson likes listening to loud rock music in his apartment. Quinton lives below Jackson and doesn't like the noise. According to the apartment building rules, Quinton can demand that Jackson stop playing the music. Jackson gets $100 in enjoyment from listening to loud music, and Quinton gets $50 in enjoyment from not having to hear loud music. According to the Coase theorem, which of the following is an optimal way of dealing with the situation? A) Jackson pays Quinton $150 for the right to play loud music B) Jackson pays Quinton $70 for the right to play loud music C) Quinton pays Jackson $60 to stop playing loud music D) No money changes hands and Jackson stops playing loud music

a) Consider an economy with 3 agents, Mohammed (M), David (D) and Susan (S). There are two goods available, good x, and good y. The marginal rates of substitution (where good x is on the horizontal axis and good y is on the vertical axis) are given by for Mohammed, for David and for Mohammed and David are both consuming twice as much of the good x than good y, while Susan is consuming equal amounts of x and y. What are the conditions for Pareto efficiency in an exchange economy? Are these consumption levels economically efficient? Can these consumption allocations be observed in a perfectly competitive equilibrium in an exchange economy without production? Explain. b) There are two firms in the economy. Each firm employs positive amounts of capital and labour. The technology satisfies diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution of labour for capital. Currently, A’s marginal rate of technical substitution of labour for capital is 4 while B’s marginal rate of technical…
Today, you've decided to treat yourself to some dessert, so you go to the store to buy a doughnut or a cupcake. The utilities of one doughnut and one cupcake are 1212 and 2424, respectively.Given that the price of one doughnut is $6$⁢6, what should be the price of a cupcake to get the same utility per dollar spent? Enter your answer in the box below and round to two decimal places if necessary.

(a) Examine the view that it is possible to escape from the "impossibility" result of Arrow by making social preferences a function of cardinal utility rather than of individual orderings.
Problem 3: Vlad's orchids Vlad loves vases with orchids. More precisely, he loves vases with three orchids in each. When his vases have less than three orchids each, every time he receives an orchid his utility goes up by 1, while it does not change if he receives a vase. When his vases have more than three orchids each, every time he receives a vase his utility goes up by 3,¹ while it does not change if he receives an orchid. a) Draw the indifference curves of Vlad (2 are enough) b) Write Vlad's utility function. c) Suppose now that Vlad has a fixed budget for vases and orchids and that a tax on orchids is imposed. Will Vlad buy more vases, less vases, or the same as before?
5. Sheila and Bruce are taking a canoe trip. Sheila brought 10 boxes of peanuts (x) and 15 bags of chips (y). Sheila's utility function is U*(x,y) = lnvx*+ Invy°. Bruce also brought 20 boxes of peanuts and 5 bags of chips. Bruce's utility function is UB(x.y) = min[x', y'I. a) Illustrate the endowment point and draw a sample set of indifference curves through the endowment point. b) If Sheila and Bruce trade what will be the pattern of mutually beneficial trade? c) If the terms of trade are the number of bags of chips (y) per box of peanuts (x) then what is the largest value that these terms can be for a mutually beneficial trade in this economy? d) Find one mutually beneficial trade where the terms of trade are 1 bag of chips (y) per 2 boxes of peanuts (x). Suppose that Sheila and Bruce set up two competitive markets for peanuts and chips. Below you will show that if the price of peanuts (x) is $1 and the price of chips (y) is $2 then the markets for both peanuts and chips will clear.…
