Jane receives utility from days spent traveling on vacation domestically (D) and days spent traveling on vacation in a foreign country (F), as given by the utility function U(D,F)= 1ODF. In addition, the price of a day spent traveling domestically is $100, the price of a day spent traveling in a foreign country is $400, and Jane's annual travel budget is $4000. An indifference curve associated with a level of utility equal to 800 and an indifference curve associated with utility of 1200 are illustrated in the figure to the right. Using the line drawing tool, graph Jane's budget line. Label this line L,. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required object. Can Jane afford any of the bundles that give her a utility of 800? Can Jane afford any of the utility bundles that give her a utility of 1200? Find Jane's utility-maximizing choice of days spent traveling domestically and days spent in a foreign country. days of domestic travel and days of foreign travel. (Enter y Jane maximizes satisfaction when consuming responses using integers.)

For the utility function U = Qx0.28Q (1-0.28) and the budget 137 = 11Qx+6Qy find the CHANGE in optimal consumption of X if the price of X increases by a factor of 1.6. Please enter your response as a positive number with 1 decimal and 5/4 rounding (e.g. 1.15 = 1.2, 1.14 = 1.1).
Find the quantities of each product that the consumer should buy, subject to the budget, that will allow maximum satisfaction. That is, find values of x and y that maximize U = f(x,y), subject to xpy + ypy = 1. Assume that such a maximum exists. U=x°y°: Px =2, py = 3, 1 = 60 (x³y³ + o) The values that maximize U are x = and y = (Simplify your answers.)

Two friends, Minrui and Jing, share a flat and both consume internet (i) and all other goods (g). The utility function for Minrui is U_m=i^(0.3)g^(0.7) whereas the utility function for Jing is U_m=i^(0.1)g^(0.9). Considering that the income of both individuals are the same $500 and that the prices are p_i = $80 and p_g = $5, what would be the optimal allocation of public good (i) and private good (g)? Interpret your answer.

Clarice has a utility function: U(Y) = 1000 - (100/Y), where Y is her income. clarice has just graduated from college and has a career choice for her first job of either working as a teacher and earning $40,000 or trying to become a theatre lighting director and earning $70,000 (if there is growth in the demand for theatre) or $20,000 (if there isn't growth in the demand for theatre). there is a 50% probability of growth. a consulting firm guarantees Clarice that it already knows whether there will be growth in the demand for theatre next year. what is the maximum amount Clarice should be willing to pay for this information?
