Consider four consumers Lisa, Sally, George, and Katherine. Their observed purchasing behaviors for consumption bundles of Spicy Italian subs (SI) from Jimmy Johns and Italian BMTS (BMT) from Subway are displayed on the graph below: SI Lisa Sally ●George Katherine BC BMT All of these consumers have the same income and face the same prices for SI and BMT. Which consumer is following all the assumption of constrained, utility optimization? Select one: O a. George Ob. Lisa Katherine O d. Sally

When diminishing returns are present in consumption, the relationship between total utility and marginal utility is as follows: O Total utility increases at a decreasing rate while marginal utility decreases Total utility increases at an increasing rate while marginal utility increases Total utility increases at an increasing rate while marginal utility decreases Total utility decreases at a decreasing rate while marginal utility increases
The table below represents Sue’s preferences for bottled water and soft drinks, the combination of which yields the same level of utility. Combination of Bottled Water and Soft Drinks Bottled Water per Month Soft Drinks per Month A 5 11 B 10 7 C 15 4 D 20 2 E 25 1 Calculate Sue’s marginal rate of substitution of soft drinks for bottled water at each rate of consumption of water (or soft drinks). Relate the marginal rate of substitution to marginal utility.
Utility maximization under constraint, substitution and income effect, CV and EV Josh gets utility (satisfaction) from two goods, A and B, according to the utility function U(A, B) = 4[A-4 + B-4-4 + 40. While Josh would like to consume as much as possible he is limited by his income. a. Maximize Josh's utility subject to the budget constraint using the Lagrangean method b. Suppose PA increases. Show graphically the income, substitution effect and total effect and explain c. Suppose PA increases. Show the graphs for CV and EV and explain. One graph for CV and one graph for EV
Define the Marginal Rate of Substitution between two goods (X and Y).If a consumer’s preferences are given by U(X,Y) = X1/4Y 3/4, compute the consumer’s marginalrate of substitution as a function of X and Y. Calculate the MRS if the consumer has chosen toconsumer 12 units of X and 30 units of Y.

8. Fabian consumes X and Y and the following utility function represents his utility: U = 2XY a. With a utility function of U = 2XY, Fabian's MU, = 2Y and his MU, = 2x ,where MU is marginal utility. Write an equation for Fabian's marginal rate of substitution (MRS). b. Suppose Fabian's income is $120 and Px = S6 and Py-$2, where Px is the price of X and Py is the price of Y. Write an equation for Fabian's budget constraint. c. Write the equation that equates the slope of Fabian's budget constraint to the slope of Fabian's indifference curve: d. If Fabian is spending all of his income, how much X and how much Y will he choose? Use the equations you wrote in part's b and c to answer this question. e. What will Fabian's utility be with this combination of X and Y? f. Now suppose the price of X increases to P.=10. Write the equation that equates the slope of Fabian's budget constraint to the slope of Fabian's indifference curve. How will this change the optimal combination of X and Y? What…
