Armando consumes two goods: grapes and wine. He can purchase both at the market and also possesses a technology that allows him to costlessly convert any quantity of grapes into the same number of units of wine. This technology is not reversible: there is no quantity of wine that he can convert to grapes. Thus, for example, if he purchases 4 units of grapes and 3 units of wine, he could consume any bundle (4-s,3+ s) with s € [0, 4]. Armando's utility from consuming a units of grapes and y units of wine is u(x, y) = x²y.

- John likes Coca-Cola. After consuming one Coke, John has a total utility of 10 utils. After two Cokes, he has a total utility of 25 utils. After three Cokes, he has a total utility of 50 utils. Does John show diminishing marginal utility for Coke, or does he show increasing marginal utility for Coke? Supposethat John has $3 in his pocket. If Cokes cost $1 each and John is willing to spend one of his dollars on purchasing a first can of Coke, would he spend his second dollar on a Coke, too? What about the third dollar? If John’s marginal utility for Coke keeps on increasing no matter how many Cokes he drinks, would it be fair to say that he is addicted to Coke?Alexi has a budget of $21 to spend on toaster and breads. He does not directly gain any utility from owining a toaster but for every slice of toasted bread he consumes he gain 2 units of utility, that is if he owns a toaster. Without the toaster, he gain 0 units of utility from consuming plain bread. Suppose the toaster has inferior quality and will break after toasting only 10 slices, then Alexi needs to buy a new one. The current market price for cheap toaster is $5 and the price for a single slice of bread is $1. Assume that Alexi aims to maximize consumer surplus. Find Alexi's income-consumption curve for slices of bread for incomes between $0 and $21, assuming a price of $1 per slice.Jeremy is deeply in love with Jasmine. Jasmine lives where cell phone coverage is poor, so he can either callher on the land-line phone for five cents per minute or he can drive to see her, at a round-trip cost of $2 in gasolinemoney. He has a total of $10 per week to spend on staying in touch. To make his preferred choice, Jeremy uses ahandy utilimometer that measures his total utility from personal visits and from phone minutes. Using the values inTable 6.6, figure out the points on Jeremy’s consumption choice budget constraint (it may be helpful to do a sketch)and identify his utility-maximizing point

The price of pizza is $4 per slice and price ofchocolate milk $2 per bottle. At Amadea's current consumption level, her marginalutility for pizza is 50 units per slice and for music 100 units per stream. Assuming thatAmadea is a utility maximizer, how much is (a)her current marginal utility for a bottleof chocolate milk, and (b) the price of streams she buys. Show your work.

- Praxilla, who lived in ancient Greece, derivesutility from reading poems and from eating cucumbers.Praxilla gets 30 units of marginal utility from her firstpoem, 27 units of marginal utility from her secondpoem, 24 units of marginal utility from her third poem,and so on, with marginal utility declining by three unitsfor each additional poem. Praxilla gets six units ofmarginal utility for each of her first three cucumbersconsumed, five units of marginal utility for each of hernext three cucumbers consumed, four units of marginalutility for each of the following three cucumbersconsumed, and so on, with marginal utility declining byone for every three cucumbers consumed. A poem coststhree bronze coins but a cucumber costs only one bronzecoin. Praxilla has 18 bronze coins. Sketch Praxilla’sbudget set between poems and cucumbers, placingpoems on the vertical axis and cucumbers on thehorizontal axis. Start off with the choice of zero poemsand 18 cucumbers, and calculate the changes in…Mylie’s total utility from singing the same song over andover is 50 utils after one repetition, 90 utils after tworepetitions, 70 utils after three repetitions, 20 utils afterfour repetitions, 250 utils after five repetitions, and 2200utils after six repetitions. Write down her marginal utilityfor each repetition.
