You are in the market for a new couch and havefound two advertisements for the kind of couchyou want to buy. One seller notes in her ad that sheis selling because she is moving to a smaller apartment, and the couch won’t fit in the new space.The other seller says he is selling because the couchdoesn’t match his other furniture. Which seller doyou expect to buy from? Why? ( Hint: Think whowould be the more motivated seller.)
Question 3: Robert's utility is given by U(x,x)=ln x + ln y, and therefore MUX-1/x and MUX-1/y. Let the prices and income be Px. Py and m. a. Find Robert's demand for x and y b. How is Robert's demand for x affected by an increase in Py? Explain
Consider a market with two households (A and B) and two goods (X and Y). Each household holds 12 units of each good. Household A has a utility UA = 5 In LA + In yA when it consumes bundle (*A, YA). Household B hasa utility UB = In aB+5 Inyg when it consumes bundle (гв, ув). The market reaches an equilibrium when the price of each good is $1. Which, of the following sentences, correctly explains what happens in the market? Household A purchases 8 units of good X from household B. Household B purchases 8 units of good Y from household A. Household A purchases 7 units of good Y from household B. Household B purchases 7 units of good X from household A. Household A purchases 9 units of good X from household B. Household B purchases 9 units of good Y from household A. O Household A purchases 7 units of good X from household B. Household B purchases 7 units of good Y from household A. Household A purchases 9 units of good Y from household B. Household B purchases 9 units of good X from…
1. Sam is going to Baltimore for the day to watch his favorite baseball team (Orioles). Sam loves his Orioles, but he is addicted to drinking beer (B) and eating hotdogs (D) while watching his team. His utility function is: U = (B*D)1/2 a. Suppose Sam has $50 to spend on beer and hotdogs. Beer costs $5 a mug and a hotdog costs $4. Draw Sam's budget constraint. b. Suppose Sam spends all of his income on beer. How many mugs of beer can he buy? What is his utility? c. Will Sam's income allow him to reach a U = 5? d. If Sam buys 4 hotdogs, how many mugs of bear can he buy? What is his utility? e. What is the combination of beer and hotdogs that yield the highest utility? 2.

4. Two individuals, Amir and Budi, consume two goods, clothes (X) and shoes (Y). The utility functions for the two individuals are given as: Utility function of Amir, UA = 15X0.25Y0.75Utility function of Budi, UB = 25X0.5Y0.5 The current price for clothes (Px) is Rp 100,000 and the current price for shoes (PY) is Rp 150,000 a. Determine marginal rate of substitution (MRSXY)between clothes (X) and shoes (Y) for Amir and Budi! Please explain. b. Amir is currently consuming 5 units of clothes (X) and 10 units of shoes (Y), whereas Budi is consuming 12 units of clothes (X) and 8 units of shoes (Y). At this current consumption, have Amir and Budi reached the efficient allocation of clothes and shoes? If they have, explain why. If they have not, calculate the optimal allocation and explain. c. Considering the relative price between of clothes and shoes, at the current consumption, have Amir and Budi reached exchange equilibrium? Please explain d. Use the Edgeworth Box to illustrate the…

Lucas likes lemon soda (X) and chips (Y). His utility function is given by: U (X, Y) = X0.2Y0.8 He earns $40 per week to spend on lemon soda (X) and chips (Y). The prices of lemon soda and chips are $2 and $4 respectively. Find out Lucas’s utility-maximizing bundle of lemon soda and chips (X*, Y*). Set up the utility-maximization problem and find out the price ratio of these two goods. Find out Lucas’s marginal utility of lemon soda (MUX) and marginal utility of chips (MUY). Calculate the MRSXY . Set up the optimal tangency condition and solve for Y in terms of X. Solve for Lucas’s optimal consumption bundle of lemon soda (X*) and chips (Y*). Draw the optimal consumption bundle on the budget constraint BC1 in Q1. Denote it as Bundle A. Make sure to indicate the optimal consumption of lemon soda (X*) and chips (Y*). Draw an indifference curve that is tangent to the budget constraint at Bundle A. Calculate the value of the MRSXY (the value not the formula) at the optimal…
You are selling $30 souvenir books for a club fund-raiser. How could you use the technique of lowballing to improve your sales?a. Start by offering the books at $70 each and pretend to bargain with customers, making $30 your “final offer.”b. Start by selling the books at $25, but once the customer has retrieved his or her checkbook, tell him or her you made a mistake and the books are actually $5 more than you thought.c.Offer the customers additional incentives to buy the book, such as free cookies with every purchase.d. Start by selling the books at $40, but tell the customer he or she will get $10 back in three weeks.
