Chapter 22 Homework Poornima likes going to the ballpark to watch baseball, and she also is fond of going to the theater to listen to the symphony orchestra. The following diagram shows two of Poornima's indifference curves for going to ballgames and symphonies. With Poornima's initial budget constraint (BC B₁), she chose to go to two symphonies and six baseball games per month (point x). Then her budget constraint shifted to BC, and she chose to go to five symphonies and five ballgames per month (point Y). SYMPHONIES Of the following choices, which could have shifted to Poornima's budget constraint from BC₁ BC₂ ? Check all that apply. The prices 2 both baseball and symphony tickets decreased while her income stayed the same. Her income decreased while the prices of baseball and symphony tickets stayed the same. The price of symphony tickets increased while her income and the price of baseball tickets stayed the same. Her income increased while the prices of baseball and symphony…
Lucia lives in Denver and enjoys drinking lattes and eating scones. The price of a latte is held constant at $4 throughout this problem. On the following graph, the purple curves (1₁ and 12) represent two of Lucia's indifference curves. The lines BC₁ and BC₂ show two budget constraints. Points X and Y show Lucia's optimum consumption bundles subject to these budget constraints. 20 18 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 ¹/₂ 2 0 2 4 10 16 18 20 SCONES Given the preceding graph and knowing the price of a latte is $4, Lucia's available income for lattes and scones is LATTES 0 Slope: -2 X-Intercept: 9 Y-Intercept: 18 6 BC 8 12 14 BC
PROBLEM (4) You have the Cobb-Douglas utility function u(x, y) = xy over apples (x) and plums (y) and you have $120 budget to spend and can carry at most 480 ounces in weight in your backpack going back to the dorm. Each apple costs $1 and weighs 8 ounces, and each plum costs $3 and weighs 4 ounces. You can only leave the store with a bundle of fruits you can afford and carry. (a) Drawing the relevant lines, intercepts, marking the points and hence identifying the feasible set of bundles, calculate the optimal bundle. (b) Forget about (a). If you were to choose a backpack before going on this shopping trip, for the weight constraint not to be an issue for you, how many ounces of weight capacity would you need for your backpack? HINT: That is, for this weight capacity of the backpack, you'd be able to carry the best bundle you can afford, i.e, the weight constraint is not binding for your decision. (c) Forget about (b). In (a), just before going out for shopping with your backpack to…
Sandy receives utility from consuming berries (X) and nuts (Y) as given by utility function u(X,Y) = XY. The price of berries is $9 per box and the price of nuts is $8 per pack. She spends her entire income to buy 17 boxes of berries and 62 packs of nuts. Therefore, compared to her optimal bundle, she is currently consuming (too many/not enough/just the right amount of) berries. Please note that, as usual, we allow goods to be divisible, L.e. Sandy's optimal bundle could consist of. for example, 4.2 boxes of berries and 3.7 packs of nuts. Please subrnit: 1 for too many • 1 for not enough O for just the right amount of
Sergei splits his consumption between baseball bats and cameras. The price of baseball bats rises. If Sergei responds to this price increase by reducing his purchases of cameras, does this imply that he has a stronger income effect or a stronger substitution effect? Explain. If Sergei responds to this price increase by purchasing fewer baseball bats but more cameras, does this imply that he has a stronger income effect or a stronger substitution effect? Explain.
Q.3. Suppose a student has monthly income of Rs 10,000. He consumes only two commodities Sandwich and Shawarma. The cost of Sandwich is Rs 50 each, and the cost of Shawarma is Rs 100 each.a) Draw the student’s budget constraint. What is the slope of his budget constraint? b) Suppose student gets a raise, so his income increases from Rs 10,000 to Rs 12,000. Show what happens to consumer optimal consumption choice if both Sandwich and Shawarmaare normal goods. Now show what happens if Sandwich is an inferior good.c) Suppose consumer income decreases to Rs. 8,000. Show what happens if both Shawarmaand Sandwich are normal goods. Now show what happens if Sandwich is an inferior good.
Every month, a family of three spends $2,000 on food (F) and other items (O). The family’s preferences are represented by the utility function U(F,O) = F1/5O4/5. The unit price of food and the unit price of other items are both $1. Find this family’s monthly food expenditure.The family could join a consumers’ club. At the club, food costs 20% less than in other stores (i.e., at the food club PF = $0.8)
Consider a consumer whose utility function is (screenshot) Assume the consumer has income $120 and initially faces the prices px=$1 and py=$1. How much x and y would they buy? Draw the budget constraint and the demands.
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…
A consumer has an income of $400 and is deciding between two products: X and Y. Assume that the X product is the horizontal axis product. The price of X is $10 and the price of Y is $2. Assume the consumer currently wants to consume 50 units of product Y to maximize his utility. a) Write out the equation to this consumers budget line. What is the slope to this budget constraint? b) How much of X and Y will the consumer consume to maximize his utility subject to his budget constraint. C) Now assume the price of X changes to $5 and price of Y and Income stays the same. At the new price, the consumer wants to buy 60 units of product X to maximize her utility given her budget. How much X and Y will the consumer consume to maximize utility. g in the before and after the change of the budget constraint and indifference graph on the same graph space. Show all necessary points. Label clearly. ead oubstitutiofs. Draw d) Write out the expression of the utiiity maximizing ruie here.?
1) Max chooses to purchase movie tickets and restaurant meals every week with his $100. If the price of a movie ticket is $20 and the price of a restaurant meal is $25, then the slope of his budget constraint will be, a) 1/5 b) -1/5 c) 4/5 d) -4/5 2) Marginal rate of substitution(MRS) is the rate at which consumer is willing to trade one good for another. It must be true that: a) MRS is the slope of an indifference curve in reference to a particular bundle of goods. b) MRS is not the same along an indifference curve that is of usual shape. c) MRS is same along an indifference curve that is of usual shape. d) Both a) and b).
