onvex Constrained Consumer Choice Andrew has a Friday night utility function UA(z,b) = z * b for pizza and beer. The price of pizza is Pz=$3 and the price of beer is Pb=$6. Andrew has $48 to spend and does not place any value on the money remaining in his wallet at the end of the night. a) Find Andrew’s optimal consumption bundle. b) Draw a graph of Andrew’s indifference curves and budget constraint (used together this is called the “consumer choice framework diagram”). c) Find and label a point “C” that is affordable but suboptimal.
Convex Constrained Consumer Choice
Andrew has a Friday night utility function UA(z,b) = z * b for pizza and beer. The price of pizza is Pz=$3 and the price of beer is Pb=$6. Andrew has $48 to spend and does not place any value on the money remaining in his wallet at the end of the night.
a) Find Andrew’s optimal consumption bundle.
b) Draw a graph of Andrew’s indifference
c) Find and label a point “C” that is affordable but suboptimal.
d) Find and label a point “D” that is unaffordable and worse than the optimal point.
e) Find and label a point “E” that is better than the optimal point but not feasible.
f) Find the marginal rate of transformation.
g) Suppose we change our brewery laws and beer only costs $3 next week. What would Andrew’s optimal consumption bundle now be in this scenario?
