Suppose that Sam’s utility function is not reference-dependent but varies with ownership. When he does not currently own a mug, his utility function is (in the image I uploaded) *question is also in the photo I’ve added* nonownerи(c, m) = 5c+7mWhen he owns a mug, his utility function isyowner (c, m) = 7c+5mWhat is the maximum price Sam would be willing to pay to buy a coffee mug? Whatis the minimum price Sam would be willing to accept to sell a coffee mug he alreadyowned?

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the maximum price Sam would be willing to pay for a…

Your own a chocolate producing company which can advertise on both television (T) and internet(I). The effect of TV and online commercials on sales is again given byS(T,I) = 500 + 48T−6T2+ 112I−6I2+ 4TI. You have a budget of $25 that you can spend on T and I. The price of aTV commercial is $12per unit and the price of an online commercial is also $12 per unit. 1. Determine the optimal level of TV commercials T and online commercials I if you have to spend all of your budget. You should provide two methods to solve this, by direct substitution and by setting up the Lagrangian. Is the Lagrange multiplier positive or negative? Give an intuitive interpretation of why this is the case? 2. Now determine the optimal level of TV commercials T and online commercials I if you DO NOT have to spend all of your budget. Do you obtain the same answer as subquestion 5.1? What is the Lagrange multiplier equal to in this case? Discuss.

Only typed answer Oscar makes purchases of an existing product (X) such that the marginal utility of the last unit he consumes is 10 utils and the price is $5. He also tries a new product (Y) and the marginal utility of the last unit he consumes is 8 utils and the price is $1. The equal marginal principle suggests that Oscar should Multiple Choice increase his consumption of product X and decrease his consumption of product Y. increase
