- Suppose that Biff enters a hot dog eating contest. He enjoys hot dogs, so he gladly pays the $20 entry fee. Biff realizes there is very little chance that he will actually win the contest. He just likes the idea of being able to eat all the hot dogs he wants. The table below shows Biff’s utility from eating hot dogs. a. Use the table below and fill in the values for marginal utility. Hot Dogs and Biff's Utility Hot Dogs Total Utility (utils) Marginal Utility (utils) 5 48 — 6 52 7 54 8 55 9 54 10 51 b. Use the table to graph Biff's total utility and marginal utility for hot dogs. c. If Biff is rational, and has no intention of winning the hot dog eating contest, what is the optimal number of hot dogs he will eat? What is the maximum level of utility Biff can reach from eating that number of hot dogs? Optimal number of hot dogs: Maximum utility:The following table shows Madison's utility from consuming popcorn and Coke. Suppose that Madison has income of $9.00, the price of popcorn is $3.00, and the price of Coke is $0.75. If Madison wants to maximize her utility, how much popcorn and Coke should she buy?

(Enter your responses as integers.)Troy has preferences for laptops (L), and drones (D). Laptops costs $750 a unit and drones costs $2000 a unit. Troy has $15000 to spend on both goods. 1. It is known that the indifference curve is convex. What does this tell you about the relationship between the goods?
- The marginal utility for shoes and coffee is given below for five individuals. A pair of shoes costs $2, and a cup of coffee costs $1. Which of these consumers are optimizing over their choices? Explain For those who are not, how should they adjust their spending? Explain “Pasta is Miguel’s favorite meal therefore the law of diminishing marginal utility does not apply”. Do you agree with this statement? It is known that the indifference curve is convex. What does this tell you about the relationship between the goods? The income effect and the substitution effect work in the same direction for a normal good. Explain how this differs for an inferior good.Supreme Court Justice Bret Kavanaugh likes beer. The first beer he drinks yields 20 utils; the second, 15 utils. If the total utility from consuming three beers is 30 utils, then the marginal utility of the third beer: all of these tells us he should have stopped at 2 beers causes total utility to fall is negativeMuoki says, “I’d rather see an action movie than a comedy, and I’d rather see a comedy than a foreign film.

You can…The utility-maximizing bundle of x and x2may, in some instances, be found at a point of tangency between the budget line and an indifference curve. In other instances, the utility-maximizing bundle will be found at a corner point-that is, where the quantity consumed of one good is zero. For which types of indifference curves shown below will the utility-maximizing bundle definitely be found at a corner point? Choose one or more: A. B. "C. D.
