Q.3. Suppose that Salim income is OMR 3000. His demand for good X and good Y depends upon the prices for these two goods, if the price of one unit of (good X) is OR 50 and the price of one unit of (good Y) is OR 60. If Ali income increase to 4200 will this affect Salim satisfaction level. Discuss a) Draw the budget line for Salim b) Find the slope of this budget line.
Madeline lives in Melbourne, where she buys kiwis at $10 per box and bananas at $9 per a bunch. With her income of $182 she buys 11 boxes of kiwis and 8 bunches of bananas. Hugo, who lives in Sydney, with an income of $175, consumes kiwis at a cost of $7 per box and bananas at a cost of $12 per bunch. Assuming their preferences are identical, then (select one) a) Madeline would prefer Hugo's consumption bundle to her own. b) Hugo would prefer Madeline's consumption bundle to his own. c) They would both be indifferent between their own bundles and the other's. d) Each prefers his/her own bundle to that of the other. e) We can't make any of the above statements without more information.
Marcia spends her money on tee and biscuits and sugar, which she sees as perfect complements. She eats two biscuits with every cup of tea. A cup of tea costs $2 and one biscuit costs $0.2, and she spends $33.60 on tea and biscuits every week. Use a diagram measuring the number of biscuits on the horizontal axis to show her compensated variation and equivalent variation if the price of a biscuit decreases to $0.1. What can you say about the change in her consumer surplus?.
Suppose that Fiona likes cashews better than almonds and likes almonds better than walnuts. She likes pecans equally well as hazelnuts and prefers hazelnuts to almonds. Can we characterize Fiona’s preferences of being “complete”? Can we characterize them of being “transitive”? Justify your answer.
A great economist once argued that a poor community would likely not distinguish quality grades of a commodity like beef, whereas a rich community would. Construct indifference curves for low- and high-quality beef at both low and high levels of income. Why should different beef qualities be better substitutes at low incomes than at high incomes? Illustrate and discuss your answer.
1. What is the relationship between pS/pC and pC /pB? What feature of the utility function is responsible for these ratios?2. Now suppose that the moment before the above prices are elicited, the subject gets $10, which does not become part of her reference point. Again calculate the three prices pS, pB, and pC. What is the relationship between pS/pC and pC /pB? Why? 3. In some actual experiments, subjects were not given money, and pS/PC was found to be about 2, and PC/pB was found to be about 1. Write down a utility function that can produce these ratios.
Suppose Alex’s utility function for apple and orange is U(a,o) = a^2o. The price of an apple is $ 4, and the price of an orange is $ 2. Alex has $ 120 to spend on these two goods. – at the bundle (a,o) = (4,2) the marginal rate of substitution MRS(a,o) = ____ – Given prices, income, and utility function, the best affordable bundle for Alex is a∗ = __ and o∗ = __
3- Sam, Ram, and Cam all like only Apples and Oranges. Sam's utility is of the form U = √√A.O; Ram's utility is of the form U = Min(A,40) or A=40; and Cam's utility is of the form U = 30 + A. The each receive an allowance of 96 dollars weekly. The price of Apples is $1 and the price of Oranges is $2. A. Write and Graph their budget constraint. B. What is the MRS of each Utility function? C. Find the equilibrium amounts of Apples and Oranges that each of them is willing to buy weekly. D. What is the level of Utility they achieve? (For Ram each bundle gives him 3 Utils)

Mrs. Griffiths earns $5000 a week and spends her entire income on dresses and handbags, since these are the only two items that provide her utility. Furthermore, Mrs. Griffiths insists that for every dress she buys, she must also buy a handbag. Draw an indifference curve showing the optimum choice. Label the optimum as point A. What would be the marginal rate of substitution at the point that corresponds to the optimal consumption choice? Interpret the marginal rate of substitution
The goods in the next question are not ale and bread. To solve this question, you are going to have to evaluate the condition The price p is defined for you, but you will have to define the marginal rate of substitution for yourself. What ratio of marginal utilities should you use? You will know the answer to this question once you have defined the marginal rate of substitution – that is, decided which good is being given up and which good is being given in compensation. When making this decision, remember that both sides of this equation refer to the same kind of trade. The right-hand side describes the rate at which one good can be traded for the other in the marketplace; and the left-hand side describes the rate at which someone is willing to trade that good for the other. Thus, the definition of the price determines the manner in which the marginal rate of substitution must be defined. Pierre lives on red wine and blue cheese. His utility function is. where w is his…
