Michael and Kelly consume food and clothing. In particular, Michael currently consumes 19 units of food and 23 units of clothing and Kelly currently consumes 21 units of food and 17 units of clothing. At these levels of consumption, Michael's MRS of food for clothing is 1.50 and Kelly's MRS of food for clothing is 0.50. Illustrate with an Edgeworth box. 1.) Using the three-point curved line drawing tool, draw an indifference curve for Michael when consuming 19 units of food and 23 units of clothing. Label this curve UM 2.) Using the three-point curved line drawing tool, draw an indifference curve for Kelly when consuming 21 units of food and 17 units of clothing. Label this curve UK. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. (...)

Belinda loves chocolate and always thinks that more is better than less. Belinda thinks that a few piano lessons would be worse than none at all, but if she had enough piano lessons to get good at playing the piano, she would prefer more lessons to less. Draw a graph with chocolate on the horizontal axis and piano lessons on the vertical axis. On your graph sketch two indifference curves for Belinda that would be consistent with this story. Label the better of the two indifference curves AA and the worse one BB. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism.

Paul loves hot drinks, and he has a part of his weekly budget earmarked for buying them. In the diagram below, you can find three examples IC1, IC2 and IC3 for indifference curves that represent Paul's preferences for tea and coffee, and three examples X, Y and Z for specific bundles of weekly tea and coffee consumption.
Caroline recently moved to San Francisco, where they developed a taste for drinking Americanos and eating danishes. Assume throughout this problem that the price of an Americano is held constant at $4. On the following graph, the purple curves (₁ and ₂) describe two of Caroline's indifference curves. The lines BC, and BC₂ represent two budget constraints. Points X and Y show Caroline's optimal consumption bundles subject to the budget constraints. AMERICANOS 18 16 4 2 0 D 10 DANISHES 12 14 16 18 20 ? Given the preceding graph and knowing the price of an Americano is $4, Caroline's available income for Americanos and danishes is $ Using the income amount you just computed, complete the following table by finding the price of a danish when BC₁ represents Caroline's budget constraint and when BC₂ represents her budget constraint. Then indicate the quantity of danishes consumed in each of those scenarios. Price When Caroline's budget constraint is... (Dollars per danish) BC₁ BC₁₂…
7) A consumer has to choose the optimal amount of cheese and crackers to purchase. He or she has drawn his or her budget constraint (BC) and indifference curves on a graph with the amount of cheese (in ounces) on the horizontal axis and the amount of crackers (in packages) on the vertical axis. Which of the following statements is true if the price of crackers declines? The BC shifts to the left (down). The BC shifts to the right (up). The BC rotates such that it intersects the horizontal axis at the same point as before and intersects the vertical axis at a lower point. The BC rotates such that it intersects the horizontal axis at the same point as before and intersects the vertical axis at a higher point.
Emily is a utility maximizer. Her income is $100, which she can spend on cafeteria meals and on notepads. Each meal costs $5 and each notepad costs $2. At these prices Emily chooses to buy 16 cafeteria meals and 10 notepads. a) Draw a diagram that shows Emily’s choice using an indifference curve and her budget line, placing notepads on the vertical axis and cafeteria meals on the horizontal axis. Label the indifference curve, I1, and the budget line BL1. Make sure you calculate the endpoints of the budget constraint. b) The price of notepads falls to $1; the price of cafeteria meals remains the same. On the same diagram, draw Emily’s budget line with the new prices and label it BL2. c) Lastly, Emily’s income falls to $90. On the same diagram, draw his budget line with this income and the new prices and label it BL3. Is she worse off, better off, or equally as well off with these new prices and lower income than compared to the original prices and higher income?
List and briefly explain each of the four properties of indifference curves. Provide an example where you have made a buying decision based on one or more of these properties.
Your classmate tells you that he is indifferent between the following bundles: (A) three soft drinks and two hamburgers or (B) two soft drinks and three hamburgers. 1.) Use the point drawing tool to plot these bundles of goods in the graph on the right. Label the points 'A' and 'B,' respectively. 2.) Use the three-point curve drawing tool to draw a smooth indifference curve that passes through the above points. Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required objects. ← Hamburgers 8 7 6- 2- L 1 to 0- ta 2 3 4 Soft drinks +5 -6 7
Suppose that the only items you consume are bread and wine. If the price of bread were to increase tomorrow, and if simultaneously your income were to increase by just enough so that you were equally as happy tomorrow as today, what would happen to the level of your consumption of bread ?
