2. Zhoran has a budget of $36 for fruit. Strawberries cost $4 per pound and grapes cost $3 per pound. She likes both type of fruit and she has a diminishing marginal rate of substitution. (a) Draw a diagram illustrating Zhoran's budget constraint. Label both intercepts with their numerical values. What is the slope of her budget line? (b) Illustrate Zhoran's optimal combination of strawberries and grapes on your dia- gram. Any picture that is consistent with the facts described here is acceptable. Explain how your diagram demonstrates that the point you've chosen is the op- timal point for Zhoran. (c) Suppose Zhoran's budget increases to $48. How will this change her consumption decision? Illustrate your answer on your diagram and explain your picture.

Graphical and Intuitive Optimization Consider a consumer who must allocate their available income between the consumption of two goods, Beer and Pizza. Their preferences over Beer and Pizza adhere to the usual assumptions we have made about preferences. The indifference curve map below reflects their preferences and the budget constraint reflects current income and prices. In the simplest terms possible, define or explain the term "Marginal Utility of Beer" (MUB). In the simplest terms possible, define or explain the term "Marginal Rate of Substitution of beer for pizza" (MRSBP). In the simplest terms possible, intuitively explain the meaning of MUB/PB, where PB represents the price of one unit of Beer.

PROBLEM (1) Suppose a consumer has just enough money to afford the bundle of 3 apples and 2 oranges, and similarly she also has just enough money to afford the bundle of 2 apples and 4 oranges. (a) Denoting the number of apples with x and oranges with y, plot the two given bundles on a graph, and calculate the relative price of apples; px/ py. (b) If she buys only apples with her budget, how many can she buy? If she buys only oranges, how many can she buy? Write down the budget equation for the consumer. (Notice that knowing two points on the budget line, you can write down the budget equation, even though you weren't given the prices nor the income explicitly!) (c) Suppose MUx = 20 and MUY = 30 at some point on the budget line. Is she maximizing utility by choosing this bundle? If not, should she buy fewer apples (and more oranges), or more apples (and fewer oranges), to increase her utility? (d) Forget about (c); instead, you learn that her utility function is u(x,y) = Axy³. What is…
