The marginal utility for shoes and coffee is given below for five individuals. A pair of shoes costs $2, and a cup of coffee costs $1. Which of these consumers are optimizing over their choices? Explain For those who are not, how should they adjust their spending? Explain “Pasta is Miguel’s favorite meal therefore the law of diminishing marginal utility does not apply”. Do you agree with this statement? It is known that the indifference curve is convex. What does this tell you about the relationship between the goods? The income effect and the substitution effect work in the same direction for a normal good. Explain how this differs for an inferior good.

The prices she's considering are shown in the table below. Calculate the utility for each of the prices in the table. What is the average of the calculated utilities?
The following figure shows the indifference curves and two budget line of student Tuna whose choices are apple and banana. The Initial price of Banana is €4/kg, when budget line is B1. Initially Tuna was at equilibrium at point A. Answer the following questions according to the information given on the diagram. Show your calculations below. a. What is the weekly Income of Tuna? (). b. If Tuna's initial preference is at A how much Banana she consumes? (" c. If Price of Banana decreases to €3/kg and she moves to point B, how much Apple she will consume at B? (. d. If the demand curve for Banana will be derived by using the indifference curves on figure 1, what will be the Price and quantity coordinates of Point A and Point B on figure 2? Apples Price Bananas Quantity
3. You have an income of $24 per week and the only two goods you consume are apples (x1) and orange juice (x2). The price per apple is $4 and the price of a bottle of orange juice is $3. Suppose that your weekly optimal consumption bundle is 4 bottles of orange juice and 3 apples . a. Illustrate this in a graph using indifference curves and budget lines. Be sure to fully label the graph. b. Write down the conditions for utility maximization and relate this to the graph that you drew. c. Now suppose that the price of apples falls to $2, and I take enough money away from you such that you are just as well off as you were before, will you buy more of fewer bottles of orange juice? Explain why or why not in words and with a graph. (Hint: think about income and substitution effects
Only typed answer Oscar makes purchases of an existing product (X) such that the marginal utility of the last unit he consumes is 10 utils and the price is $5. He also tries a new product (Y) and the marginal utility of the last unit he consumes is 8 utils and the price is $1. The equal marginal principle suggests that Oscar should Multiple Choice increase his consumption of product X and decrease his consumption of product Y. increase
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.
Question 2 David spends his budget on chocolate and chip. His utility function is given by ?(?1,?2)= 2?1?2, where ?1 is the number of chocolates he consumers per week, and ?2 is the number of chips he buys per week. A chocolate costs 10 SEK, and a chip costs 20 SEK. David’s weekly budge for consuming on these two goods is 120 SEK. (1) What is David’s budge line? Draw the budget line on a graph with chocolate amounts on the horizontal axis and chip amounts on the vertical axis. Write explicitly at which points budget line crosses the axis. (2) What is David’s marginal utilities for the two goods, respectively? What is his marginal rate of substitution between the two goods? (3) What is David’s optimal choice? Calculate the numerical answer for the optimal bundle. Also draw an indifference curve for David on the same graph as question(1) and show the optimal bundle.
I. You only consume two goods and your preferences are represented by utility function 2 U(x₁, x₂) = (x1.5 + x2.5) for x₁ > 2 and x₂ > 0.
34) Suppose that left shoes and right shoes must be purchased separately. Ingrid needs an equal number of each type of shoe and has a budget of $100 for shoes. Left shoes always cost $1. If right shoes cost $19 each, how many of each will Ingrid buy? If the price of right shoes increases to $49 each, how will Ingrid react? Explain your answer by drawing the indifference curves-budget lines. 35) Johnny has $100 to spend on books and all other goods. Books cost $20 each and Johnny is at equilibrium consuming 3 books and $40 worth of other goods. Johnny's grandmom wants to give Johnny either a book or $20 for his birthday. Which gift does Johnny prefer? Explain using an indifference map and budget lines.
