(3) Willig is willing to pay as much as $130 to buy the last ticket to a music concert at Canada's Wonderland, while Norman is willing to pay as much as $200 for a ticket. Willig is first in line and buys a ticket for $110. He then resells his ticket to Norman for $170. Assume that both took rational decisions given their options. Willig by reselling his ticket rather than going to the concert himself, caused the total surplus, (a) to increase by $70 (b) to remain unchanged. (c) to increase by $90- to decrease by $20 (d) to increase by $30 none of the options are correct

4. Consider a society that has three individuals - 1,2 and 3 - and three alternatives - x, y and z. The society has a preference aggregation rule F. In year 2007, the profile of individual preferences were as follows: 1 2 3 X y Z y Z V It is known that the rule F satisfies Completeness, Transitivity, Anonymity, Unanimity and Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives. Also, in year 2007, F ranked x strictly above y. Now, we are in year 2008. The individual preferences have changed to: 1 2 3 Z y y X Z Z y X x (a) How does the society rank between y and x in 2008? Why? (b) How does the society rank between x and z in 2008? Why? (c) How does the society rank between y and z in 2008? Why? (d) What were the social preferences over all three alternatives in 2007?

An individual is oered a choice of either $50 or a lottery which may result in $0and $100, each with equal probability 1/2 . If the individual has a utility function u(w) = 5 + 2w, which one would they choose? If the individual has a utility function u(w) =w1/2 + 1?

In class discussions about uncertainty we assumed that the utility levels in each state of nature depends on c, which we might interpret as some aggregate con- sumption and we expressed utility as U(c). Now, let's extend this to a case where the utility level depends on consumption of two goods (this was the type of utility we used mainly in this course). Ben is a farmer who grows wheat and barley. However, his harvest is uncertain. If weather is good, he gets 200 lbs of wheat and 200 lbs of barley. If weather is bad, he gets only 100 lbs of wheat and 100 lbs of barley. His utility in each state of nature is U(w, b) = w¹/4b³/4, where w and b represent his consumption of wheat and barley, respectively. Prices of wheat and barley are $1 in both state of nature. The probability of good weather is T. Question 3 Part a Express Ben's expected utility function. (Hint: find Ben's optimal consumption in each state of nature first) Question 3 Part b Let's assume = 0.5. Knowing that bad weather…
