Maximization Problem 1 A juice stall at Bazar Ramadan Changlun sells two types of fresh juice in 300 ml cups, the Refresher and the Super- Duper. The Refresher is made from 3 oranges, 2 apples and a slice of ginger. The Super Duper is made from one slice of watermelon, 3 apples and one orange. The owner of the juice stall have 50 oranges, 40 apples, 10 slices of watermelon and 15 slices of ginger. Suppose that Refreshers sell for RM6 each and Super-Dupers sell for RM8 each. Find the number of Refreshers and Super-Dupers they need to make and sell to maximize the revenue.

Exercise B4 How many indifference curves does a person have?
The rules of politics are not always the same as the rules of economics. In discussions of setting budgets for government agencies, there is a strategy called closing the Washington Monument. When an agency faces the unwelcome prospect of a budget cut, it may decide to close a high-visibility attraction enjoyed by many people (like the Washington Monument). Explain in terms of diminishing marginal utility why the Washington Monument strategy is So misleading. Hint: If you are really trying to make the best of a budget cut, should you cut the items in your budget with tile highest marginal utility or line lowest marginal utility? Does the Washington Monument strategy cut the items with the highest marginal utility or line lowest marginal utility?
Would you expect total utility to rise or fall with additional consumption of a good? Why?
Exercise A5 How does the appearance of positive slope differ from negative slope and from zero slope?
Is it possible for total utility to increase while marginal utility diminishes? Explain.

What is the formula for calculating elasticity?
Income Effects depend on the income elasticity of demand for each good limit you buy. If one of the goods you buy has a negative income elasticity, that is, it is an inferior good, what must be true of the income elasticity of the other good you buy?
If people do not have a complete mental picture of total utility for every level of consumption, how can they find their utility-maximizing consumption choice?
Anastasia, Emma, and Greta are deciding what to do on a weekend getaway. They each suggest a first, second, and third choice and then vote on the options. Table 18.2 shows their first, second, and third choice preferences. Explain why they will have a hard time teaching a decision. Does the group prefer mountain biking to canoeing? What about canoeing compared to the beach? What about the beach compared to the original choice of mountain biking?
