A consumer has preferences over two goods, carrots and turnips, each measured in kilograms. For each of the following scenarios, identify which, if any, of the standard assumptions of preferences are violated. (a) The consumer will never eat more than ten kilograms of carrots per day. (b) The consumer cares only about the total weight of the two vegetables consumed, and always prefers more to less. (c) The consumer cares only about the product of the respective weights of the two vegetables consumed, and always prefers a greater product to a lesser one.

Problem 6 Casper consumes cocoa and cheese. Cocoa is sold in an unusual way. There is only one supplier, and the more cocoa you buy from him, the higher the price you have to pay per unit. In fact y units of cocoa will cost Casper y² dollars (i.e. the price of y units is y dollars, hence the quadratic cost). Cheese is sold in the usual way at a price of 2 dollars per unit. Casper's income is 20 dollars and his utility function is U(x, y) = x+2y, where z is his consumption of cheese and y is his consumption of cocoa. a. Sketch Casper's budget set and shade it in. b. Sketch some of his indifference curves and label the optimal bundle that he chooses. c. Calculate the amount of cheese and the amount of cocoa that Casper demands at these prices and this income, i.e. calculate the optimal bundle. (Recall that you can find the slope of any curve using the Total Differential, i.e. the MRS formula works in general)
