7. Professor Petro considers coffee from La Prep (denoted as good I) and coffee from Tim Horton's (denoted as good h) to be perfect substitutes but he derives much more utility from La Prep coffee. In fact, he thinks 1 cup of coffee from La Prep is as good as 4 cups of coffee from Tim Hortons! This means his utility function over the two coffees is given by U = 4l +h. The price of La Prep coffee is p = 3 and the price of Tim Horton's coffee is pa 1.5. Professor Petro sets aside a total income of m = 60 for coffee each week. For the questions below, treat La Prep coffee (good !) as the good that goes on the horizontal axis of an indifference curve diagram. (b) Solve for Professor Petro's optimal bundle of La Prep and Tim Horton's coffee, (, h"). Show your solution graphically by placing La Prep coffee on the horizontal axis and Tim Horton's coffee on the vertical axis. Label Professor Petro's optimal bundle as bundle "A" and be sure to label all intercepts of the budget line.
(In this question we denote income by Y, not by W as in the lecture notes). The following figure shows the consumption of x and y for two market situations. The income effect of a change in price of x from px to px’ is? Negative and is dominated by the substitution effect. Positive and reinforces the substitution effect. Negative and dominates the substitution effect. Negative and reinforces the substitution effect. Positive and dominates the substitution effect.
Suppose your utility for goods x1 and x2 is represented by the following utility function: U(x1,x2)= x11/5 x24/5 a) What is your marginal rate of substitution, MRS12? b) If the price for good x1 is p1 = 2, the price for good x2 is p2 = 4, and your available income is m = 20, write down your budget constraint. c) Using the prices and income given at b) above, find your optimal consumption choice bundle (Marshallian demand) and its corresponding utility level. d) Illustrate your optimal consumption choice on a graph. e) For the prices given in b), what income would you need to achieve a utility level of 25?
Let U(x, y) = 3x + y be the utility function of a consumer, whohas a budget of I. As a function of I, find the consumer’s Walrasian demand when the prices are px = py = 1. The price of good x increases to 2, find the new Walrasian demand for the new prices px = 2 and py = 1. Decompose this change into an income and a substitution effect.
Granny lives in the Woods and consumes only bread and fruits. One week she falls ill and has to ask her niece, Red, to buy her weekly food. Red lives in the City, where the price of fruit is $ 2 per kilogram and the price of bread is also $ 2 per loaf. Red knows that Granny's utility function is given by U(f, b) = In (f) + 2 In (b) and that Granny has allocated $ 60 of her income for food each week. Heading to Granny's house in the Woods with the food bought from the City in her basket, Red unexpectedly meets the infamous trader B. B. Wolf, which offers to buy or sell food at a price of $ 3per kilogram of fruits, and $ 6per loaf of bread. Show graphically, what is the Red's budget line before meeting with Wolf and the budghet line after meeting with Wolf?

Ben gets utility from apples and bananas and his preferences can be represented by the utility function U(A,B)=4A+B. If the price of apples is 3 times the price of bananas, what is Ben's ordinary demand function for apples, A*(p A, P B, I)? OA (P A, PB, 1)=0 A*(p A, P B, 1)=1/P A OA (P A, PB, 1)=21p A OA (P A, PB, 1)=1/(3p A) O A*(p A, P B, 1)=1/(4p A
(In this question we denote income by Y, not by W as in the lecture notes). The following figure shows the consumption of x and y for two market situations. We can conclude that: x is a normal good for all market situations. py is greater than px. It is not conclusive. x is an inferior good for some market situation. y is an inferior good for some market situation.
Suppose that you, Jennifer, and Yusef constitute the market for CDs. Your demand for CDs is illustrated in the graph to the right (D₁), along with Jennifer's demand (D₂) and Yusef's demand (D3). Using the line drawing tool, construct the market demand curve for CDs. To do this, you will need to use three line segments labeled Dsegment 1 Dsegment 2, and Dsegment 3. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects.
