Suppose Brian is willing to pay a total of $90,000 for an electric vehicle.True or False: Keeping his maximum willingness to pay for an electric vehicle in mind, Brian will buy the electric vehicle because it would be worthmore to him than its market price of $135,000.TrueFalse 2. Individual demand and consumer surplusConsider the market for electric vehicles. The market price of each electric vehicle is $135,000, and each consumer demands no more than oneelectric vehicle.Suppose that Tim is the only consumer in the electric vehicle market. Their willingness to pay for an electric vehicle is $270,000. Based on Tim'swillingness to pay, the following graph shows his demand curve for electric vehicles.Shade the area representing Tim's consumer surplus using the green rectangle (triangle symbols).PRICE (Thousands of dollars)360t315PRICE (Thousands of dollars)27022510013512Homework (Ch 07)Now, suppose another buyer, Alyssa, enters the market for electric vehicles, and her willingness to pay is $180,000.300Based on Alyssa's and Tim's respective willingness to pay, plot the market demand curve on the following graph using the blue points (circle symbol).Next, shade Tim's consumer surplus using the green rectangle (triangle symbols), and shade Alyssa's consumer surplus using the purple rectangle(diamond symbols).Note: Plot your points as a step function in the order in which you would like them connected.

On Sundays, people in Los Angeles consider a boat to Catalina Island to spend the day on the beach there. The utility that a person gets from visiting Catalina is 1-[n/10] – p , where n is the number of visitors on the island and p is the price of round-trip transportation (by boat). (Note that a visitor obtains more satisfaction if there are fewer other visitors on the island). The utility of staying home is zero. In equilibrium, how many people visit the island on a given Sunday? ( Your answer should depend on p.)
According to economists, the process of optimal decision making by consumers typically yields total benefits well above the amount paid for the goods. These market-created benefits are referred to as ▼, and using the graph to the right, are represented by area Suppose now that the market price falls. According to the graph, the excess of total benefits over the total amount spent by consumers will ▼ decrease increase not change PM B Quantity (Q) Q
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.
A gambling game requires people to place bets on either "Big" or "Small" or "Seven" designating the result of two dice throws. Big represents a sum of 8 to 12, while small is from 2 to 6. The special space "seven" is reserved for, of course, 7. Betting on "Big" provides a 1:1 betting win ratio amount. (Ex: Any bet amount of X, will net the winner another amount X, and still get his bet amount X back. ) Betting on "Small" also provides a 1:1 betting win ratio. The space "Seven" gives a 1:5 win ratio amount: Betting 100 money units on "Seven" and having a result of 7 nets the bettor 500 money units, and still have his 100 money units returned to him. If your bet does not appear, then the player loses his/her bet. What is the net Expected value of the strategy of betting 100 money units on "Big" ? Give your answer to two decimal places.

Alice and Bob are each confronted with the choice between: A. Purchasing a set of headphones at the bookstore on campus for $25. OR B. Purchasing an identical set of headphones downtown for $10. If Alice chooses option A, but Bob chooses option B, which of the following must be true if Alice and Bob are both rational? - Alice and Bob face the same inconvenience associated with going downtown - for Bob, the inconvenience associated with traveling downtown was less than $15 - for Alice, the inconvenience associated with traveling downtown was greater than $10 - for Bob, the inconvenience associated with traveling downtown was greater than $15
Please provide full derivation, and 5. 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. 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 x 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 point that he chooses. c. Calculate the amount of cheese and the amount of cocoa that Casper demands at these prices and this income.

Juanita is deciding whether to buy a skirt that she wants, as well as where to buy it. Three stores carry the same skirt, but it is more convenient for Juanita to get to some stores than others. For example, she can go to her local store, located 15 minutes away from where she works, and pay a marked-up price of $102 for the skirt: Store Travel Time Each Way Price of a Skirt (Minutes) (Dollars per skirt) Local Department Store 15 102 Across Town 30 85 Neighboring City 60 76 Juanita makes $42 an hour at work. She has to take time off work to purchase her skirt, so each hour away from work costs her $42 in lost income. Assume that returning to work takes Juanita the same amount of time as getting to a store and that it takes her 30 minutes to shop. As you answer the following questions, ignore the cost of gasoline and depreciation of her car when traveling.
Case No. 1 Emma likes to call her friend regularly during the month, but he lives abroad. A call costs him $5/minute. The psychological benefit (measured in dollars) of the first 100 minutes of call is $10/minute, that of the next 100 minutes, $5/minute, that of the next 100 minutes, $2.5/minute and finally, that of the next 100 minutes, also $2.5/minute. A) If Emma calls her friend 100 minutes a month, does she make a net gain? B) What is the number of call minutes per month that maximizes Emma's satisfaction? C) If we use Emma's monetary measure of satisfaction, what is the amount of her satisfaction? D) What should be the price per minute of a call for Emma to be at the maximum satisfaction by choosing to call 400 minutes per month?
Consider the golfing question from above. Suppose that Ken values golfing for the afternoon at $65. That is, he puts a price on his happiness from golfing for the afternoon at $65. Should he go golfing? Why or why not? Yes, he should go golfing because his enjoyment ($65) is greater than the $30 price. No, he should not go golfing because the fees ($30) are greater than his lost income. Yes, he should go golfing because his enjoyment ($65) is greater than his lost income from not working ($60). No, he should not go golfing because his enjoyment ($65) is less than the cost ($90). Yes, he should go golfing. You should always go golfing when you get the chance!
