In this case, we say the consumer has ‘non-convex preferences’ and indifference curves are bowed out from the origin. In plain language, the consumer has a preference for binging. We often feel this way towards our favorite social media app. Consider a kid who has four hours a day to spend on social media. They enjoy spending time on Snapchat (x) or spending time on Twitter (y). a) Write the kid’s time constraint and illustrate it in a graph where you measure time spent on Snapchat along the horizontal axis and time spent on Twitter along the vertical axis. This kid’s utility from time spent on Snapchat and time spent on Twitter is U(x,y) = 4x2+ y2. b) In your graph, draw a couple of the kid’s indifference curves. Notice how the kid’s |MRSY,X| increases along each curve as he spends more time on Snapchat and less time on…

Frank spends $75 on 10 magazines and 25 newspapers. The magazines cost $5 each and the newspapers cost $2.50 each.
