Kevin has a $100 monthly exercise budget, which he spends at Tarheel Gym on yoga classes (Y) and spin classes (S). The price of yoga class is $10, and the price of a spin class is $5. Draw his budget constraint for each of the following scenarios. Use a separate graph for each part and label all axes, intercepts, and the coordinates of any kink points. Treat each case separately and graph yoga classes on the x-axis and spin classes on the y-axis. a. The price of a yoga class drops to $8 after 5 classes, and again to $5 after 10 classes. b. After every 4 yoga classes you buy, you get the next one for half off. c. After purchasing 5 yoga classes, you become a "Tarheel Yogi." Becoming a Tarheel Yogi costs $20, but it also reduces the price of each subsequent yoga class to $5. d. For every 5 yoga classes you buy, you get $5 in gym credit that can be used on any class at Tarheel Gym.

Amy and Barbara share an office. They put a scent diffuser in the middle of the room, and they need to buy essence oil (G) to make the office smell good. They each can also buy cookies (x) as their own snacks. Each of them has $15 to spend on essence oil and cookies. Amy and Barbara's utility functions are UA (TA, GA, GB) = x²(G₁+G³)² and uB (TB, GA, GB) = x³ (GA+GB)³, where A and B are Amy's and Barbara's individual cookie consumption, and GA and GB are respectively Amy's and Barbara's contributions in dollars for the purchase of the essence oil. Let the price of cookies be p = 1 and the price of essence oil be pg = 1. Thus, given G₁ and GB, G = GA + GB is the total amount the essence oil that will be purchased, what is the Pareto optimal amount of the total contribution of G ? C a. 15 C b. 10 c. They will be no difference between the individual decision and the Pareto optimal decision. d. 5
Lucas has $40 per week that he can spend on lemon soda (X) and chips (Y). The price of the lemon soda (PX) is $2 per bottle, and the price of the chips (PY) is $4 price Write down Lucas’s budget constraint. Draw the budget constraint on the graph below. Make sure to indicate the intercepts and the slope of budget constraint. Label it as BC1. Provide an economic interpretation of the slope of the budget constraint BC1 Suppose Lucas’s income decreases to $12 per week, and the price of lemon soda and chips remain the same. Write down Lucas’s new budget constraint. Then draw his new budget constraint on the same graph above. Make sure to indicate the intercepts and the slope. Label it as BC2. Suppose Lucas’s income remains to be $40 per week and the price of chips remains the same, but the price of lemon soda (PX) increases to $5. Write down Lucas’s new budget constraint. Then draw his new budget constraint on the same graph above. Make sure to indicate the intercepts and the…
According to the equation, sales (Y, measured in $1,000 per month) and advertising (X, measured in $1,000 per month) are related as follows: Y=40+3X Suppose you are told that the sales committee has set an ambitious goal of $64,000 for next month’s sales. The treasurer needs to know how much to budget for advertising, and you have to come up with the answer.
The figure below illustrates 3 indifference curves and two budget lines for a student whose budget for online gaming is $10/week. The red line illustrates this student's original budget line. After thanksgiving prices change, the blue (dash-dot) line illustrates the student's new (post-price change) budget line. a) What were the original hourly prices of FortDay and PokemonStop? What are the new prices? b) What is the students optimal bundle at the original prices? How about at the new prices?
Suppose ABC Corp. spends $200,000 per year on some basic level of advertising, regardless of its revenues. In addition, the company spends 15 percent of each dollar of revenue on extra advertising. Write a mathematical equation that describes the functional relation between advertising (A) and revenue (R). A= (Enter your response as an expression.)
Q3: Are the following utility functions quasi-linear, quasi-concave, quasi-convex, homogenous of degree 0, homogenous of degree 1? Show your working: 1) U(x,y) = min(x,y) 2) U(x,y) = (x" + yaja
Assume the market clearing price is $5.00 for deli sandwiches and the amount of exchange that would take place at that price is 200 deli sandwiches per day. You, however, don't have this information and have just opened your deli. You decide to price your sandwiches at $9.00 and are willing and able to sell 285 sandwiches per day at that price. When you do this, you notice you sell 100 sandwiches per day. Draw this situation on a graph and then explain what will happen in this market -- i. e., if there is a shortage or surplus, show this on the graph and then explain what the shortage or surplus will cause to happen in the market. Make sure you talk about inventories in your answer.
Reese thinks peanut butter and chocolate are great when separate, but when they combine they are even more epic. In other words, Reese likes to eat either peanut butter or chocolate, but when he eats them together, he gets additional satisfaction from the combination. His preference over peanut butter (x) and chocolate (y) is represented by the utility function: u(x, y) = xy + x + y Which of the following is NOT true about Reese’s preference? (a) The MRS decreases when x increases.(b) The preferences are homothetic.(c) The marginal utility of y is higher when x = 10 than when x = 5.(d) For any a > 0, Reese prefers the bundle (x =a/2 , y = a/2 ) over either the bundle (x = a, y = 0) or (x = 0, y = a).
A consumer has $100 to spend on craft beer and Schweinefleischaft (pork shanks). Suppose craft beercosts $10 per 4-pack if the customer purchases up to five 4-packs. After that, it is $5 per 4-pack. SupposeSchweinefleischaft is $5 per order of pork shanks.(a) Draw the budget constraint for this consumer, with craft beer on the horizontal axis and Schweine-fleischaft on the vertical axis.(b) Will the consumer ever purchase exactly five 4-packs of craft beer? Explain why, using both thegraph in part (a) and words.
