Antonio likes to have coffee (C) and donuts (D) for breakfast every morning. He likes to dip his donuts into his coffee, so for every cup of coffee, he eats one and a half donuts. In economic terms, we can say he views one cup of coffee as a perfect complement to one and a half donuts. The price of a cup of coffee is $4.5 and the price of one donut is $2. His budget for breakfast this month is $75. (a) Write down a utility function that represents Antonio's preferences over (cups of) coffee (C) and donuts (D). (There may be many functions representing the same preferences, so you can choose either of them.) (b) How many cups of coffee (C) and donuts (D) is he going to consume? (Hint: the first order conditions will not help; draw the budget constraint and the indifference curves and look at the highest indifference curve that has a point in common with the budget constraint). (c) What is the exact value of Antonio's indirect utility for the utility function you chose in (a)?

Jackie has a budget of $36 per month to spend on snacks. She can spend this budget on bags of potato chips (C) and Hershey chocolate bars (H). Potato chips cost $4 per bag, while Hershey bars cost $1 per bar. The utility that Jackie receives from consuming potato chips and Hershey bars is represented by the following utility function: U=3C2 H. Given that Jackie seeks to maximize her utility, find the number of potato chip bags and Hershey chocolate bars that Jackie will purchase each month.

Madison has set aside $24 for her snack budget this month. Her favorite snacks are ice cream and chips. The price of a pint of ice cream is $4 and the price of a bag of chips is $3. She currently consumes three pints of ice cream and four bags of chips each month. If the price of a pint of ice cream drops to $3, the income effect predicts that Madison will consume: more ice cream and more chips. equal amounts of ice cream and chips. more ice cream and fewer chips. less ice cream and more chips.
