Sean is arguing with his girlfriend, Yvette. They have been going out for a little more than two years. YVETTE: I'm leaving you, Sean. Get over it. SEAN: Are you saying that being single will make you happier than you've been with me? Speaking personally, I think the utility we've had in this relationship was much more than you could have had if you'd been single this whole time! YVETTE: I had taken an economics class and the word "utility" rings a bell. It's not that at all. We've had a fine time. It's that the utility I would get by continuing our relationship isn't worth it anymore. SEAN: I've never been dumped by someone citing the law of before. You're a piece of work, you know that?

Donuts are a big thing in Portland, OR. You go into one of the many donut establishments to purchase some number of these tasty (and even vegan or gluten free if required) treats. Let's say that the first donut has higher utility for you, so you are willing to pay up to $2 for it. For the second donut you are willing to pay $1.50, the third $1, a fourth $0.50 and the fifth $0.00. This particular bakery in Portland charges an average of $1 per donut. If you are a rational buyer (which can be hard when faced with so many different delicious donuts) then how many donuts do you purchase, and how much consumer surplus (i.e., money saved compared to what you were willing to spend) do you have? O 4 donuts, $5 O 2 donuts, $5 O 3 donuts, $1.50 O 1 donut, $0.50

A recent report by the Centers for Disease Control looked at the relationship between the price of beer and the incidence of new cases of STD's. The report concluded that a beer tax increase of $.20 could reduce overall STD rates by 8.9%. Assume that a six pack cost $5.90 before the price increase. Calculate the cross price elasticity between beer and STD's. What is the sign of this cross-price elasticity? According to your estimate, are beer and STD's compliments or substitutes? Does your answer make sense? Explain.
