please only do: if you can teach explain steps of how to solve each part b Armando consumes two goods: grapes and wine. He can purchase both at the market andalso possesses a technology that allows him to costlessly convert any quantity of grapes intothe same number of units of wine. This technology is not reversible: there is no quantityof wine that he can convert to grapes. Thus, for example, if he purchases 4 units of grapesand 3 units of wine, he could consume any bundle (4-8,3+s) with s = [0,4]. Armando'sutility from consuming a units of grapes and y units of wine is u(x, y) = x²y. For each of thefollowing questions, you may use, without proof, any results from the lectures for this course.(a) Find Armando's Marshallian demand expressed in terms of the bundle he consumes (i.e.,after any conversion of grapes into wine).Solution: Let på denote the price of grapes and p2 the price of wine. If P₁ 2y).

The utility function establishes the connection between the overall utility attained by consuming…

Alexi has a budget of $21 to spend on toaster and breads. He does not directly gain any utility from owining a toaster but for every slice of toasted bread he consumes he gain 2 units of utility, that is if he owns a toaster. Without the toaster, he gain 0 units of utility from consuming plain bread. Suppose the toaster has inferior quality and will break after toasting only 10 slices, then Alexi needs to buy a new one. The current market price for cheap toaster is $5 and the price for a single slice of bread is $1. Assume that Alexi aims to maximize consumer surplus. Find Alexi's income-consumption curve for slices of bread for incomes between $0 and $21, assuming a price of $1 per slice.
John likes Coca-Cola. After consuming one Coke, John has a total utility of 10 utils. After two Cokes, he has a total utility of 25 utils. After three Cokes, he has a total utility of 50 utils. Does John show diminishing marginal utility for Coke or does he show increasing marginal utility for Coke? Suppose that John has $3 in his pocket. If Cokes cost $1 each and John is willing to spend one of his dollars on purchasing a first can of Coke, would he spend his second dollar on a Coke, too? What about the third dollar? If John’s marginal utility for Coke keeps on increasing no matter how many Cokes he drinks, would it be fair to say that he is addicted to Coke? *use tables and/or graphs if possible, please original work
You are in the market for a new couch and havefound two advertisements for the kind of couchyou want to buy. One seller notes in her ad that sheis selling because she is moving to a smaller apartment, and the couch won’t fit in the new space.The other seller says he is selling because the couchdoesn’t match his other furniture. Which seller doyou expect to buy from? Why? ( Hint: Think whowould be the more motivated seller.)

Amadea spends all her income on pizza,chocolate milk, and music streams. The price of pizza is $4 per slice and price ofchocolate milk $2 per bottle. At Amadea's current consumption level, her marginalutility for pizza is 50 units per slice and for music 100 units per stream. Assuming thatAmadea is a utility maximizer, how much is (a)her current marginal utility for a bottleof chocolate milk, and (b) the price of streams she buys. Show your work. [Hint: Ch 6:Utility-maximizing formula)
Mylie’s total utility from singing the same song over andover is 50 utils after one repetition, 90 utils after tworepetitions, 70 utils after three repetitions, 20 utils afterfour repetitions, 250 utils after five repetitions, and 2200utils after six repetitions. Write down her marginal utilityfor each repetition. Once Mylie’s total utility beginsto decrease, does each additional singing of the songhurt more than the previous one or less than the previousone?

Jill likes to consume coffee and cream in a very particular way: with every cup ofcoffee she always consumes two 0.5 oz. cream containers. Jill is a utility maximizer anddecides to spend her income is $120 per month on coffee and cream. If the price of eachcoffee cup is $2.50, and the price of each cream container is $0.25, she will consume______ cups of coffee and ______ cream containers per month.A) 48; 96.B) 96; 48.C) 240; 480D) 80; 40E) None of the above.
The table below shows the utility schedule for a consumer of candy bars. Candy Bars Consumed 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Total Utility 0 5 9 12 14 15 15 13 Based on the data in the above table you can conclude that the Multiple Choice O total utility of 2 units is 4 utils. marginal utility of the fourth unit is 14 utils. marginal utility of the third unit is 4 utils. marginal utility of the sixth unit is O utils.
On a given evening, J. P. enjoys the consumption of cigars (c) and brandy (b) according tothe functionU(c, b) = 20c− c²+ 18b − 3b²a. How many cigars and glasses of brandy does he consume during an evening? (Cost isno object to J. P.)b. Lately, however, J. P. has been advised by his doctors that he should limit the sum ofglasses of brandy and cigars consumed to 5. How many glasses of brandy and cigarswill he consume under these circumstances?
a. A consumer is willing to trade 3 units of x for 1 unitof y when she has 6 units of x and 5 units of y. She isalso willing to trade in 6 units of x for 2 units of y whenshe has 12 units of x and 3 units of y. She is indifferentbetween bundle (6, 5) and bundle (12, 3). What is theutility function for goods x and y? Hint: What is theshape of the indifference curve?b. A consumer is willing to trade 4 units of x for 1 unitof y when she is consuming bundle (8, 1). She is alsowilling to trade in 1 unit of x for 2 units of y when sheis consuming bundle (4, 4). She is indifferent betweenthese two bundles. Assuming that the utility function isCobb–Douglas of the form U (x, y) = xα y β, where α andβ are positive constants, what is the utility function forthis consumer?c. Was there a redundancy of information in part (b)? Ifyes, how much is the minimum amount of informationrequired in that question to derive the utility function?
