Suppose you observe a person's answer to two decision problems. Problem 1: You are offered $40 today. What is the minimum amount x you demand one month from today in order to be willing to give up the $40 now? Answer: x = 52. Problem 2: Your are offered $40 today. What is the minimum amount x you demand one year from today in order to be willing to give up the $40 now? Answer: $60. 1. Demonstrate that the rational model of time preferences is violated for this choice pattern. 2. Derive this individual's B and d for the hyperbolic time discounting model. 3. Suppose the utility you get from eating ice cream now is 10 utils. But you pay a cost of -4 utils per hour for the next 4 hours, because it gives you indigestion and makes you feel lethargic. If your hourly B and d for this problem are B = .6 and d = .9, ... 1. What is the total discounted utility of eating ice cream now? 2. What is your total discounted utility now of planning to eat ice cream after lunch tomorrow? 3. Do you eat ice…

In order to increase economic activity, a city proposes to allow diesel-powered delivery vehicles to operate in residential neighborhoods. Diesel exhaust contains soot which is a major cause of asthma and other respiratory ailments leading to a decrease in the quality of life in these communties. A neighborhood group opposed to this proposal hires you to conduct a valuation study to show the decrease in the quality of life. a) What specific valuation method should you use? b) How would you use that method? c) What are some problems that might result from your use of that method?

Problem 3 (a) Suppose that when Jane is presented with the following two menus, her choices from them are as below 2 • When presented with the menu {6 units of apples, 5 units of bananas}, Jane chooses 6 units of apples. • When presented with the menu {7 units of oranges, 5 units of bananas}, Jane chooses 5 units of bananas. Suppose that Jane is then presented with the menu {7 units of oranges, 6 units of apples} What must Jane's choice be from this menu so that her behavior conforms to the axioms of rational choice? Explain. (b) Suppose that Frederick choices from the following menus are as follows • For any e > 0³, out of the menu {(4 + ɛ apples and 3 bananas), (5 oranges and 3 bananas)}, Frederick chooses (4 + ε apples and 3 bananas). • Out of the menu {(4 apples and 3 bananas), (5 oranges and 3 bananas)}, Fred- erick chooses (5 oranges and 3 bananas) What axiom of rational choice does Frederick's behavior evidently violate? Discuss.
Discussion Question:1)What is your opportunity cost of taking this course at UIU? When looking at this question, please focus on your alternatives of your decisions. Also, how does the role of scarcity affect the decisions that you have to make? or 2) Locate an article that details one or more of the five foundations. Summarize the article and provide detail supporting your case on one of the five foundations. What specific economic concept from the text is found in this story? How does this concept lead people to change their behaviors? What is your reaction to this story? How would you alter the plan to achieve a different outcome? Look to answer at least two of the questions above.
Rats run on treadmills according to the function: E 5 + 62R –R %3D where E = volts of electricity R = number of rats Rats cost $10 each. Electricity can be sold on the grid for $5 per volt. It costs $500 to build a large cage for the rats. Show your work/thought process: a. What is the optimal amount of rats (R) to purchase? b. Given your answer in part a, what is the total amount of electricity (E) that will then be produced?
Krisha can pick 4 pounds of coffee beans in an hour or gather 2 pounds of nuts. Tom can pick 2 pounds of coffee beans in an hour or gather 4 pounds of nuts. Each works 6 hours per day. Together, what is the maximum number of pounds of coffee beans the two can pick in a day? What is the maximum number of pounds of nuts the two can gather in a day? Maximum amount of coffee beans pounds per day Maximum amount of nuts pounds per day Now suppose Krisha and Tom were gathering the maximum number of pounds of nuts when they decided that they would like to begin picking 8 pounds of coffee beans per day. Who would pick the coffee beans? How many pounds of nuts would they still be able to gather? Would it be possible for Krisha and Tom in total to gather 26 pounds of nuts and pick 20 pounds of coffee beans each day? If so, how much of each good should each person pick? The combination of 30 pounds of coffee beans and 12 pounds of nuts per day is show Krisha and Tom's combined daily PPC.

Course: Introduction to Microeconomics1. Our students Francisca and Javier have a heated discussion about Axioms of Preference and Rational Consumer Choice, from which they raise questions and reflections regarding topics seen in class. You are asked to comment on each of these statements, justifying whether statement is true, false or uncertain. You should be supported by graphic analysis as appropriate.Statements that our students arrive at are as follows:(a) To have consistent ordering and represent convex indifference curves, only Axioms of order (Monotonicity) and Transitivity are needed.b) For a consumer to find equally preferred baskets from an initial basket, he must establish a substitution relationship between goods to stay on same indifference curve.c) Given consumer's income, the best he can do with respect to his consumption decision, is to find a situation where marginal utility per weight spent on good X is equal to marginal utility per weight spent on good Y.
