Suppose Lucia has to choose between purchasing high-definition televisions and water. Which of the following is the utility-maximizing rule that Lucia should follow while choosing the optimal quantities of these two goods? (Note: In the answer options that follow, MU stands for "marginal utility.") DO (MU of Water) x (Price of Water) - (MU of HDTVs) x (Price of HDTVs) O MU of Water - MU of HDTVs MU of HDTVs MU of Water Price of HDTVs Price of Water O MU of Water Price of Water MU of HDTVs Price of HDTVs Since water costs little and high-definition televisions are expensive, it must follow that when people choose their optimal quantities of water and high-definition televisions to purchase, the marginal utility they receive from the last high-definition television they buy is than the marginal utility they receive from the last gallon of water they buy.

Jesse has a budget of $16 to spend on either ice cream or cookies at the movie theater. A scoop of ice cream costs $4 while cookies costs $2. Use the table below to identify the utility maximizing quantity of ice cream and cookies given Jesse’s budget constraint. HINT: Use utility maximizing formula, MU1/P1 = MU2/P2 Ice cream (Quantity) Total Utility Cookies (Quantity) Total Utility 1 8 1 20 2 12 2 35 3 24 3 56 4 30 4 60 5 32 5 62 6 35 6 68 Group of answer choices 2 ice cream and 4 cookies 1 ice cream and 5 cookies 3 ice cream and 6 cookies
In Workout problem 5.1, Charlie has a utility function U(xA, xB) = xAxB, the price of apples is $1, and the price of bananas is $2. If Charlie's income were $160, how many units of bananas would he consume if he chose the bundle that maximized his utility subject to his budget constraint?
When John maximizes his utility, his consumption bundle is (2 burgers, 3 burritos) and his marginal utility for burger and burrito are 30 and 20, respectively. Assuming burgers and burritos are neither perfect substitutes nor perfect complements for John. The price of burger must be higher than the price of burrito. Please do fast ASAP fast
Q1. Jason has preferences defined over novels (good x) and DVDs (good y) described by the utility function U(x,y)= x2y2. He has income of $120; novels cost $5 each, while DVDs are priced at $15 each. a) Calculate Jason's optimal consumption bundle, AND his maximized utility level Suppose the price of novels increases to $7.5, while the price of DVDs and income are unchanged. b) In the same diagram, draw his old and new budget constraint; AND calculate his nep optimal bundle. c) Calculate the Total Effect (TE), Substitution Effect (SE) and Income Effect (E) of novels associated with the price increase of novels; AND SHOW them in your initial diagram. (Hint: keep 2 decimals if need)
Rick consumes 2 goods, Chicken McNuggets (M) with Szechuan sauce (S). His utility function is U(M, S) = M2/3 S1/3 and his income is m. The price of Chicken McNuggets is p, and the price of Szechuan sauce is 1. On the same graph, show the income and substitution effects of the increase in p from 1 to 2 on Rick’s consumption of Chicken McNuggets. Are Chicken McNuggets a normal or inferior good for Rick? Explain your answer.
There are two goods, apples and bananas. The price of apples is PA = $2,and the price of bananas is PB = $3. A consumer has $120 to spend, and his utility function is U(A,B)=2A2B3 a) With apples on the x axis, the slope of the budget line is ________ b) At A=2, B=1, the marginal utility of A is and the marginal utility of B is ________ c) At the optimal bundle, the consumer buys apples and bananas ______
Donald derives utility from only two goods, carrots (X) and donuts (Y). His utility function is as follows: U(X,Y) =X0.1 Y0.9 . Donald has an income (M) of $900 and the price of carrots (PX) and donuts (PY) are $45 and $90 respectively. How will the bundle change when the price of carrot increased by $25 and the price of donut and income remain constant? Select one: A. Donald will now consume 3 units of carrot and 2 units of donuts B. Donald will now consume 2 units of carrot and 6 units of donuts C. Donald will now consume 2 units of carrot and 3 units of donuts D. Donald will now consume 1 unit of carrot and 1 unit of donuts E. Donald will now consume 2 units of carrot and 2 units of donuts
Please Answer iv) A student living in a university hostel has two options for meals: eating at the dining hall for Rs.600 per meal, or eating a meal at Dhaaba for Rs.150 per meal. His weekly food budget is Rs. 6000 Draw the budget constraint showing the trade-off between dining-hall meals and meals at Dhaaba. Assuming that he spends equal amounts on both goods, draw an indifference curve showing the optimum choice. Label the optimum as point A. Suppose the price of a Dhaaba meal now rises to Rs.200. Assume that our student now spends only 30 percent of his income on dining-hall meals. Label the new optimum as point B. iv) Use points A and B to draw a demand curve for meals at Dhaaba. What is this type of good called?
Rick consumes 2 goods, Chicken McNuggets (M) with Szechuan sauce (S). His utility function is U(M, S) = M2/3S1/3 and his income is m. The price of Chicken McNuggets is p, and the price of Szechuan sauce is 1. g. On the same graph, show the (hypothetical) budget constraint that is tangent to the indifference curve from part (e) but parallel to the budget constraint in part (f). h. On the same graph, show the income and substitution effects of the increase in p from 1 to 2 on Rick’s consumption of Chicken McNuggets. Are Chicken McNuggets a normal or inferior good for Rick? Explain your answer. i. Find the equation representing the (hypothetical) budget constraint drawn in part (g). Hint: you know this budget constraint has the same prices as in part (f), so you need to find the income level m that makes the budget constraint just tangent to the indifference curve passing through Rick’s chosen consumption bundle in part (e).
