Refer to the following figure. Marginal Utility Marginal Utility (A) Avocados per week (C) Avocados per week Marginal Utility (B) Avocados per week Marginal Utility (D) Avocados per week Geri likes avocados; each additional avocado she consumes adds as much to her total utility as did the previous one. Which of the four graphs best represents Geri's marginal utility curve for avocados?
Draw YOUR indifference curve for the consumption of two goods (you pick the goods – be creative!) Make sure to include labels. Why did you choose these two goods? Why do you view these as being a tradeoff? Carefully explain why the indifference curve has the shape you created. (Hint: Discuss the slope. What it means and how it changes) Determine a budget that will be allocated towards your consumption of these two goods. Given the budget, prices for the goods, and your preferences, how will you find the utility-maximizing combination? Give an intuitive answer as well as a graphical answer (make sure to label the graph accordingly).
If at a quantity consumed of 1 unit, total utility equals 25 and marginal utility equals 25, and at a quantity consumed of 2 units, total utility is unknown and marginal utility is 20, and at a quantity consumed of 3 units, total utility is 57 and marginal utility is unknown, what is marginal utility of the third unit?

4. Liam initially has a weekly allowance of €24 to spend on eggs (at €0.40 per egg) and beans (at €0.80 per tin). Liam will only consume 4 eggs with each tin of beans and never changes this proportion. (a) What is the utility maximising amount of eggs and beans that Liam buys each week? (b) Suppose the price of eggs rise to €0.60 per egg but the price of beans falls to €0.60 per tin. At the same time, Liam's weekly allowance rises to €30. How much of each good will Liam now buy? Compare your answer to that in (a) and explain the difference, if there is one. Use a diagram to complement your answer.

The following table reflects the utility one receives from consuming a given product. Units Consumed Total Utility (TU) Marginal Utility (MU) 0 0 ------- 1 60 60 2 ____ 50 3 150 ____ 4 175 ____ 5 ____ 20 6 210 ____ Complete the table solving for the missing total utility or marginal utility values in each row. Total utility increases throughout the table. What rate does total utility increase? In other words, is it rising at an increasing rate, a…
Suppose the marginal utility of a Coke is 15 utils, and its price is $1.50. The marginal utility of a pizza is 20 utils, and its price is $5. To achieve consumer equilibrium, you need to spend
4. Suppose that a consumer with the utility function U =X0.25 Y0.75 choses a bundle where X=5 and Y=10. If the prices of the two goods are Px= $1, and Py = $3. Calculate marginal utility per dollar spent on each good. Can this consumer increase utility without increasing expenditure and if so how?
