Remi has been observing their meal expenses during the past few weeks. They realized they spend as much as P7500 per week for 12 meals (3 meals/day from Tuesdays-Fridays) in school. Currently, they prefer Las Flores than Din Tai Fung and their utility is expressed as U(L,T) = L0.54T0.46 where L = quantity of meals at Las Flores; T = quantity of meals at Din Tai Fung.

Market research revealed that the customers can be separated into 5 groups according to their preferences over bundles of goodxs x and y. The respective empirical utility functions were constructed and they look as follows: 1. U1(x,y) = 2x+5y. 2. U2(x,y) = 100/(2x+5y). 3. U3(x,y) = 3(2x+5y)0.5 4. U4(x.y) = 7(2x+5y)². 5. U5(x,y) = -150/(2x+5y). How many different preferences were identified by the market research. O 1 O 3
For a consumer whose preferences over bundles (X, Y) can be represented by the utility function U(X, Y) = ln(X) +9Y½, which of these statements about the MRS is true? (a) Varies only as the value of X varies (b) Varies only as the value of Y varies (c) Varies as the values of either X or Y vary (d) Does not vary (i.e., is everywhere constant)
You have preferences u(x,y) = xy over games (X) and videos (Y) you can buy on a platform and a $360 budget, with prices px = 9 and py = 6. How much would you be willing to pay (at most) as a subscription fee for each of the following plans (you can buy any amount of Y in each plan at the original price, unless otherwise stated): (a) Plan A : You can buy (any amount of) X at a discounted price px = 4(b) Plan B : You are given 40 units of X for free, but you cannot buy any more of X. (surely can buy any amount of Y)(c) Plan C : You are given 30 units of X for free, but you cannot buy any more of X; you also have a discounted price for good Y; py = 4.

Q12 please help quick Consider a utility function for apples and bananas. You are given the following three bundles: (12, 4), (4, 12), and (8, 8). Under the standard assumptions of the well-behaved preference relationship. you should strictly prefer (8, 8) to (12, 4) and (4, 12). Briefly explain why?

Given the following utility functions, check if the utility function is homogeneous and if MRS is diminishing: (1) U(x, y) = Vr + y (2) U(x,y) = (x +y")/5.851
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?
Alonso has preferences for sport cars (C) and paella (P) given by the utility function U(C, P) = 4CP. The prices for C and P are, respectively, pc and pp. In what follows, do not worry if the results are not integers.
Kroger, the country's leading grocery-only chain, added a line of private latbel organic and natural foods call Simple Truth to its stores. If you've priced organic foods, you know they are more expensive. For example, a dozen conventionally farmed Grade-A eggs at Kroger costs consumers $1.5, whereas Simple Truth eggs are priced at $3.5 per dozen. One study found that, overall, the average price of organic foods is 85 percent more than that of conventional foods. However, if prices get too high, consumers will not purchase the organic options. One element of sustainability is organic farming, which costs much more than conventional farming, and those higher costs are passed on to consumers. Suppose that a conventional egg farmer's average fixed costs per year for conventionally-farmed eggs are $1 milion per year, but an organic egg farmer's fixed costs are four times that amount. Further assume that the organic farmer's variable costs of $2.7 per dozen are three times as much as…
