substitutes. (Hint: The quantity of Coke consumed where the budget line hits the Coke axis is Y/PC, where pc is the price of Coke, Pp is the price of Pepsi, and Y is income.) Use the 3-point curved line drawing tool to draw Madeline's demand curve for Coke. To simplify the analysis, assume that if the price of Coke and the price of Pepsi are equal, then Madeline, though indifferent between the two, only consumes Coke. Label this curve 'Demand'.

For the case of two goods, give an example of a utility function U(x1, x2) that represents the preferences of a consumer who regards the two goods as perfect complements. Next, take the transformation f(U) = U³ of the your example utility function and explain if this newly gener ated function represents the original preferences. Further, provide clear arguments supporting or rejecting the claim that "f(U(x1, x2)) must be strongly increasing in (x1, x2)."

(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. Positive and dominates the substitution effect. Negative and dominates the substitution effect. Negative and reinforces the substitution effect.
3. Consider the following model. U(X,Y)= X2$Y35 Px =2 Py = 3 I= 100 Suppose price of X changes to Px= 4. What are the substitution effect and income effect on Y?
Consider the market for Netflix Subscriptions. Show graphically and explain using economic intuition, what happens to the market price and quantity in each of the following 3. Bruno can spend his income on two different goods: smoothies and energy bars. For each of the following three situations, decide if the given consumption bundle is within Bruno’s consumption possibilities. Then decide if it lies on the budget line or not. a) Smoothies cost $2 each, and energy bars cost $3 each. Bruno has income of $60. He is considering a consumption bundle containing 15 smoothies and 10 energy bars.b) Smoothies cost $2 each, and energy bars cost $5 each. Bruno has income of $110. He is considering a consumption bundle containing 20 smoothies and 10 energy bars. c) Smoothies cost $3 each, and energy bars cost $10 each. Bruno has income of $50. He is considering a consumption bundle containing 10 smoothies and 3 energy bars. 4. In each of the following situations, describe the substitution…
On the graph below, the consumer begins at L1. The relative prices change to L2. Complete the table and the sentence below. (Hint: The dashed line is a reference line to show us the income effect. Point B shows only the income effect. The change from A to B is the income effect. The change from B to C is the substitution effect.) Porcupines consumed at 'A' Grenades consumed at 'A' Porcupines consumed at 'C' Grenades consumed at 'C' Will consumption of Grenades increase or decrease due to the income effect? Quantity change in Grenades due to income effect Will consumption of Grenades increase or decrease due to the substitution effect? Quantity change in Grenades due to substitution effect Will consumption of Porcupines increase or decrease due to the income effect? Quantity change in Porcupines due to income effect Will consumption of Porcupines increase or decrease due to the substitution effect? Quantity change in Porcupines due to…
Define the law of diminishing marginal utility. Given an individual’s income and the prices of two or more goods, explain and demonstrate how an individual chooses between the two or more goods in order to maximize total utility. Define the equimarginal principle and explain the logic behind it. Explain how the equimarginal principle can be used to determine the optimal amount of security guards versus helicopters to employ to prevent illegal border crossings.
The goods in the next question are not ale and bread. To solve this question, you are going to have to evaluate the condition The price p is defined for you, but you will have to define the marginal rate of substitution for yourself. What ratio of marginal utilities should you use? You will know the answer to this question once you have defined the marginal rate of substitution – that is, decided which good is being given up and which good is being given in compensation. When making this decision, remember that both sides of this equation refer to the same kind of trade. The right-hand side describes the rate at which one good can be traded for the other in the marketplace; and the left-hand side describes the rate at which someone is willing to trade that good for the other. Thus, the definition of the price determines the manner in which the marginal rate of substitution must be defined. Pierre lives on red wine and blue cheese. His utility function is. where w is his…
