Caroline recently moved to San Francisco, where they developed a taste for drinking Americanos and eating danishes. Assume throughout this problem that the price of an Americano is held constant at $4. On the following graph, the purple curves (₁ and ₂) describe two of Caroline's indifference curves. The lines BC, and BC₂ represent two budget constraints. Points X and Y show Caroline's optimal consumption bundles subject to the budget constraints. AMERICANOS 18 16 4 2 0 D 10 DANISHES 12 14 16 18 20 ? Given the preceding graph and knowing the price of an Americano is $4, Caroline's available income for Americanos and danishes is $ Using the income amount you just computed, complete the following table by finding the price of a danish when BC₁ represents Caroline's budget constraint and when BC₂ represents her budget constraint. Then indicate the quantity of danishes consumed in each of those scenarios. Price When Caroline's budget constraint is... (Dollars per danish) BC₁ BC₁₂…
A consumer has a budget set aside for entertainment during the year, and they spend the budget on concerts and plays. The consumer has a strong preference for attending concerts over plays: the two activities are substitutes, but not very strong substitutes. Sketch the indifference curves for this consumer on a graph, with concert tickets on the vertical axis and play tickets on the horizontal axis. Briefly explain why the consumer might ultimately choose to purchase a large number of play tickets, even though they have a strong preference for concerts. Include a budget line on your graph to illustrate this case.
Emily is a utility maximizer. Her income is $100, which she can spend on cafeteria meals and on notepads. Each meal costs $5 and each notepad costs $2. At these prices Emily chooses to buy 16 cafeteria meals and 10 notepads. a) Draw a diagram that shows Emily’s choice using an indifference curve and her budget line, placing notepads on the vertical axis and cafeteria meals on the horizontal axis. Label the indifference curve, I1, and the budget line BL1. Make sure you calculate the endpoints of the budget constraint. b) The price of notepads falls to $1; the price of cafeteria meals remains the same. On the same diagram, draw Emily’s budget line with the new prices and label it BL2. c) Lastly, Emily’s income falls to $90. On the same diagram, draw his budget line with this income and the new prices and label it BL3. Is she worse off, better off, or equally as well off with these new prices and lower income than compared to the original prices and higher income?
The figure below shows two of Josie's indifference curves between peaches and cream, as well as her budget constraint (the straight line). Josie, with an income of $32, faces prices of $4 for both peaches and cream. She is currently maximizing utility by consuming 4 peaches and 4 creams. Highlight Josie's current bundle. Then, show what happens to her utility maximizing bundle when Josie's income falls to $20 by drawing a new budget constraint and placing a point Josie's new bundle.

Suppose Jeff has a perfect substitute preferences for watching movies (M) and TV (T) shows. Jeff's MRSTM is such that he is always indifferent between watching one movie and five TV shows independent of the amount of goods consumed. Which of the following statements is true? If Jeff had a choice between 1 movie and 1 TV show before bed, he would choose to watch the movie. If Jeff has already watched 3 movies and no TV shows, then he would prefer to watch a TV show next. He is indifferent between watching 1 TV show or 1 movie before bed. Jeff would prefer watching 2 TV shows and no movies over watching 2 Movies and no TV shows.

Bob views apples and oranges as perfect substitutes in his consumption, and MRS = 1 for all combinations of the two goods in his indifference map. Suppose the price of apples is €2 per pound, the price of oranges is €3 per pound, and Bob's budget is $24 per week. What is Bob's utility maximizing choice between these two goods? A. 12 pounds of apples and no oranges B. 8 pounds of oranges and no apples C. 4 pounds of oranges and 6 pounds of apples D. 12 pounds of oranges and no apples Fiona uses her entire budget to purchase food and clothing. The price of food is €1 per unit and the price of clothing is €2 per unit. Fiona's marginal utility from food is 2 and her marginal utility from clothing is 6.
