Matthew Hamming is stranded on an island. He has decided that he will spend exactly 10 hours a day gathering food. He can either spend this time gathering coconuts or catching fish. He can catch 2 fish per hour and he can gather 3 coconuts per hour. Matthew's utility function is U(FC) = 3F0.60.3 a. How many fish should Matthew catch and how many coconuts should he gather so that his consumption maximizes his utility? Illustrate the equilibrium with a graph b. One day a native inhabitant of another island arrives on the island. The visitor offers Matthew trade of 3 fish for 1 coconut. The trade fee costs 1 fish (that must be paid prior to the exchange). Will Matthew decide to trade? What will Matthew produce and consume? Justify your answer and provide a graph.
Suppose the Super Bowl is this week, and Raphael is in need of a television to watch the big game. As a college student, Raphael knows that he can either buy his flat-screen television at the local electronics store, or he can shop online for a better deal but have to wait four days for the television to arrive. The following problem uses the economic concept of rate of time preference to help determine which decision is better for Raphael. Throughout the question, assume that Raphael pays for the good the day he buys it, so his wealth is affected in the initial time period no matter where he buys the good. Also, assume the shipping cost and cost to travel to the store are incorporated into their respective given prices. Finally, assume the goods are identical, and there's no cost to gaining information about prices-in other words, he knows the best price online and in the store without having to search. Suppose Raphael receives a utility of 35.11 utils once he actually receives his…

An individual's utility function is given by: U (q1 , q2) = q11/2 . q2 Suppose we know that the individual is maximizing their utility by consuming 9 units of good #1 (q1=9) and six units of good #2 (q2=6). If the current price for good #1 is $1 (p1=1), what must be the price of good #2 (p2) and what must be the individual's current income (y) available to spend on the two goods? a.) p2 = b.) y=
Two students go out to lunch and decide to split the bill evenly between them. Each student has a quasi-linear utility function given by ui(fi , xi) = φi(fi) + xi , where φi(·) is strictly concave, fi is the amount of food consumed by student i, and xi is a composite numeraire good. Each student has a fixed budget of mi . EVALUATE THIS CLAIM: Both students eat too much!
Marbella has 101 residents. All wear the same fancy clothes and each has the same utility function, u(m, b, B) = m + 14b − b2 − B/50, where m is the amount of macaroni (in kilograms) that he or she eats per day, b is the number of hours that he or she spends on the beach per day, and B is the total number of person-hours spent per day on the beach by other residents of Marbella. Each has an income of $10 per day and macaroni costs $1 per kilogram. The city council is considering a law that would limit the amount of time that any person can spend on the beach. How many hours per day should they allow in order to maximize the utility of a typical Marbellite? A. 6 B. 9 C. 7 D. 10 E. They could not possibly be made better off by legislation that limits their freedom to choose.
Consider a pure exchange economy with two goods k = 1,2 and two households i = A, B. The total available amount of good 1 and 2 is 9 and 12 units, respectively. Utility functions for households A and B are UA (TA1, A2) = TA1TA2 and UB(B1, B2) = XB1T32. (a) Find an expression for the Pareto optimal set. (b) Assume e A = (4,4) and eg (5,8) are A and B endowments, respectively. Find the competitive equilibrium. (c) Is the competitive equilibrium allocation in the Pareto Optimal set? Why this result should not surprise us?
3 Consider a pure exchange economy with 2 consumers and 2 goods. Consumer ? owns 8 units of good 1 and 1 unit of good 2, and his preference is represented by the following utility function: uA(x1, x2) = x1*x2. Consumer ? owns 2 units of good 1 and 4 units of good 2, and his preference is represented by the following utility function: uB(x1,x2)=x1+x2. Assume that the two consumers are allowed and able to trade with each other, and that good 1 is the numeraire. In this case, both consumers act as price-takers. Price takers: a market participant that is not able to dictate the prices in a market. Therefore, a price taker must accept the prevailing market price. Please find the competitive equilibrium of this pure exchange economy.

Knowing that Caesar's preferences over apples (X) and oranges (Y) can be represented by the utility function U = 2X0.5y0.5, select the correct option about the bundles on the graph: ORANGES A D ● B E APPLES Caesar's ranking is, definitely, E>D> C>A-B. Caesar's ranking is, possibly, E> A-B>D>C. O We do not have enough information to know how Caesar ranks these bundles. O A and C might be on the same indifference curve.
Vhee Ayar lives alone in a computer lab where it spends 10 hours per day producing spurious orside calls (denoted xf) and awarding incomprehensible penalties (denoted xp). Vhee Ayar can conjure 8 offside calls per hour, and it can summon 6 penalties per hour. The utility that Vhee Ayar derives from offside calls and penalties is captured by the utility function U(Xf, xp) = 3xf x05. How many offside calls and penalty kicks will Vhee Ayar choose to produce/consume each day?
3. You are given the following total utility function: V(C1, C2) = U(c,) + U(c2) = c,/2 + c2/4 а. Determine the MRS in terms of c1 and c2. If c = (C1,C2) = (2,2), What is the value of MRS evaluated at this point?
