1. Dave Grohl wants to buy drums and guitars. Drums are sold in an unusual way. There is only one supplier, and the more drums you buy from him, the higher the price you have to pay per unit. In fact, y units of drums will cost Dave y² dollars. Guitars are sold in the usual way at a price of 2 dollars per unit. Dave's income is 20 dollars, and his utility function is U (x,y) = x+2y, where x is his consumption of guitars and y is his consumption of drums. A. Sketch Dave's budget set and shade its in. B. Sketch some of his indifference curves and label the point that he chooses. C. Calculate the number of drums and guitars that Dave demands at these prices and this income.
Emi's friend Xindi also likes tacos, but she doesn't like sandwiches. Instead, she always consumes exactly two tacos (good x) with one glass of horchata (y), and she doesn't enjoy either good without the other. Suppose prices are the same as initially in problem 1, so that horchata is twice as expensive as tacos (Px=$2, Py=$4), and Xindi has the same budget as Emi: I=$24 a) Propose a utility function that is consistent with these preferences and draw a couple of its isoquants. b) Solve Xindi's long run utility maximization to find the basket of goods she will purchase. c) What if, just as in problem 1, the good on the x axis goes on sale for $1/ unit?
Suppose that Ciana is deciding whether or not to buy a pair of sneakers that she has been researching online, and also the best place to make her purchase. Three different stores in the area sell the sneakers she likes, but some stores are more convenient for Ciana to reach than others. One option is her local shoe store located only 15 minutes away from where she works, where they charge a marked-up price of $124 for the sneakers: Store Travel Time Each Way Price of a Sneakers (Minutes) (Dollars per sneakers) Local Shoe Store 15 124 Different Neighborhood in Town 30 103 Rural Outlet 60 70 Ciana earns an hourly wage of $30 at her job. In order to purchase her sneakers she will have to take time off work, so each hour away from her job costs her $30 in lost income. Assume that Ciana’s travel time is the same each way (to and from the store) and that it will take her 30 minutes once she reaches a store to complete her shopping. Assume throughout the question…
Given the utility function U (x1, x2) = x³x2.7 select all that are true. a) 30% of the budget is spent on good 1. ○b) V (p, I) = 30.370.7 I 10 P1P2 c) If P2 = 2 and I = 60, then $18 is spent on good 21. d) If P1 = 9, P2 = 2, and I = 60 then the consumer enjoys 1.81 utils of utility. e) Half the budget is spent on good 1 and the other half is spent on 2.

Gains Gains 400 2 -2 -2 Guitars 24 Losses Losses -600 -2 What is the least amount of money Jimi is willing to accept to sell one of his guitars? (just enter a dollar amount, i.e., "1000", not "$1000"
|When Matt is buying cards and toys (C, T), his preferences are well behaved and he is indifferent between (60, 16) and (30, 24). For the following combinations, determine which he prefers, or if he is indifferent between the two. Show how you know. A. (31, 25) or (59, 15) B. (60, 16) or (45, 20)
Consider the following money lotteries: ?1=(5/6,3000;1/6,500) ?2=(2/3,3000;1/3,500) ?3=(1/4,3000;1/4,2000;1/4,1000;1/4,500) ?4=(1/2,2000;1/2,1000) Leslie says that she is indifferent between lottery ?1 and getting $2000 for sure is indifferent between lottery ?2 and getting $1000 for sure prefers lottery ?3 over lottery ?4 Explain carefully whether or not Leslie is rational according to the theory of expected utility.
Solve all questions.......you will not solve all questions then I will give you down upvote....... Arturo loves chocolate mousse but he is concerned about eating too much sugar. He would like to indulge himself eating as many mousses as possible as long as he keeps daily sugar consumption under 100 grams. Consider the following two choice rules: • Rule 1: After eating N mousses, if he is offered an additional mousse, he would eat it if the mousse contains less than 25 grams of sugar. If instead he is offered a fixed number of daily mousses in advance, he would accept them only if the total sugar content does not exceed 100 grams, otherwise, he would choose not to eat any mousse. • Rule 2: Choose in advance a fixed number of mousses to eat each day that does not exceed 100 grams of sugar content in total. (a) If each mousse contains 21 grams of sugar, Which rules (if any) satisfy IIA? Justify your answer. (b) Can you find a utility function that is maximized by Rule 1? How about…

Suppose that Abe and his brother Moe are lost in the desert and are in need of guidance to find an oasis. They can seek such guidance from either a burning bush or a golden calf. Abe has the following preferences: • If Moe chooses to talk to the golden calf, Abe prefers the outcome where he to chooses to talk to the golden calf than talk to the burning bush. • If Moe chooses to talk to the burning bush, Abe is indifferent between the outcome where he choose to talk to the burning bush and the outcome where he chooses to talk to the golden calf. • Regardless of his own decision, Abe prefers all outcomes where Moe talks to the burning bush than if he chose to talk to the golden calf. Moe has the following preferences: • If Abe chooses to talk to the golden calf, Moe prefers the outcome where he chooses to talk to the golden calf than talking to the burning bush. • If Abe chooses to talk to the burning bush, Moe prefers the outcome where he chooses to talk to the golden calf than talking…
