2. Vibha consumes three goods X, (shirts), X, (food in pounds), and X, (shelter in square feet). Vibha's utility function is given by: U (X,, X, X,) = 5ln Xt 3ln X + 2ln X, where In (x) or log. (x) is the natural logarithm. Vibha's weekly income is $100. Let the price of X, = P, = $10, the price of X, = P, = $2, and the price of X, = P; = $4. What is the equation for Vibha's budget constraint? а. b. |How many shirts, pounds of food, and square feet of shelter, will Vibha consume, as a rational consumer?
Suppose Jeff has a perfect substitute preferences for watching movies (M) and TV (T) shows. Jeff's MRSTM is such that he is always indifferent between watching one movie and five TV shows independent of the amount of goods consumed. Which of the following statements is true? If Jeff had a choice between 1 movie and 1 TV show before bed, he would choose to watch the movie. If Jeff has already watched 3 movies and no TV shows, then he would prefer to watch a TV show next. He is indifferent between watching 1 TV show or 1 movie before bed. Jeff would prefer watching 2 TV shows and no movies over watching 2 Movies and no TV shows.
