Explain why you think that the demand of one product may diminish as prices are increased
What is the law of diminishing marginal utility for consumers, what is the learning curve of a producer? It seems that as the producer becomes more efficient at producing their product; the consumer tends to have less and less satisfaction from consuming one additional unit of the producer's product. Is this true (think in terms of only one producer and consumer)? Explain your answer.
What happens to the utility we get from each additional unit we consumed?
Two students, Nick and Sofia, are discussing normal and inferior goods. Nick says that if Frodo buys more beer when the price of beer goes up, then beer must be an inferior good for Frodo. If, on the other hand, he buys less beer when the price of beer goes up, then beer must be a normal good for Frodo. Sofia disagrees: "Normal and inferior goods are about income changes, not price changes. Therefore, we do not have enough information: beer could be an inferior or normal good in either of these cases." Do you agree or disagree? Carefully explain your point of view. Support your argument with graphs of income, substitution and total effects (please put beer on the horizontal axis and the other goods on the vertical axis). Please assume that Frodo's preferences over beer and other goods are strictly convex and satisfy "more is better" assumption.
To maximize total utility, consumers will always choose the marginal unit of the good that yields the most marginal utility per price. True False
Agatha has $825 to spend on tickets for her trip. She intends to spend the entire amount and prefers traveling first class to traveling second class. Agatha needs to travel a total of 1500 miles. Suppose that the price of first-class tickets is $0.60 per mile and the price of second-class tickets is $0.30 per mile. How many miles will she travel by second class?
If the consumer is consuming exactly two goods, and she is always spending all of her money, can both of them be inferior goods?
Inferior goods are affordable substitutes for more expensive goods. Which of the following is an example of someone purchasing an inferior good? Tom saved his money for an entire year so that he could buy the nicest car on the lot. Susan decided to buy her favorite pasta, rather than the store-brand pasta that she usually purchases. Sam had to stay within his budget, so he decided to buy generic toaster pastries instead of his favorite brand-name pastries. Jennifer earned a bonus at work, so she decided to go out to dinner at a fancy restaurant.
You may have observed that items such as different brands of aspirin, tomato sauce, or gasoline are typically priced the same as each other. This is particularly true when consumers can find these goods in close proximity to each other. For example, prices are often the same at gas stations that are on opposite sides of the street. Prices are also generally the same for products next to each other on the same grocery store shelf. Choose the correct fill in the blank. The aforementioned examples are goods that are likely to be substitutes or complements You would expect the value of the cross-price elasticity to be insignificant, small, or large because the opportunity cost of getting information on price is low.
