Suppose that there are four consumers who value two goods: (1) monthly gym membership and (2) monthly unlimited fitness classes in the following way: Consumer Value for Gym $20 $80 $90 $120 1 2 3 4 Value for fitness classes $120 $80 $60 $30 (a) What prices maximize the revenue for gym memberships and classes when not sold as part of a bundle? (b) What is the revenue maximizing price for a bundle of both A and B? (c) Can you find a mixed bundle that increases revenue relative to the bundle in part (b)?

QUESTION 79 1. You and your college roommate eat three packages of Ramen noodles each week. After graduation last month, both of you were hired at several times your college income. You still enjoy Ramen noodles very much and buy even more, but your roommate plans to buy fewer Ramen noodles.

What is the sum of the own price elasticity of demand for X, the cross price elasticities, and the income elasticity of demand for X? Does this hold only for the given type of utility function or all well behaved utility functions? What does this mean?
Suppose the following table shows your demand schedule for CDs. Price Quantity Demanded $15 1 12 9. 9:56 6. 4 (a) What is your total utility from four CDs? Total utility: $ (b) What is your marginal utility from the fourth CD? Marginal utility: $ (c) If the price is $6, how much will your consumer surplus be? Consumer surplus: $
Indicate whether the statement is True or False, and briefly explain why: A. Marginal benefit equal to marginal cost is the point where consumers are maximizing their satisfaction within their budget. B. The marginal benefit is equal to the marginal utility you obtain from consuming one extra unit of the good. C. What matters for consumers when they want to decide to buy one more unit of a good is how much utility they got from all the units they consumed before. D. Elasticity can be related to the measure of a percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in the price of a good.
Explain the principles, concepts, and theories underlying individual consumers’ behaviour with respect to utility maximization.
if consumers would expect the price of a good to increase in the near future in the price of a complement good to decrease at the same time what would happen
Abby drinks Mountain Dew. She can buy as many cans of Mountain Dew as she wishes at a market price of $0.55 per can. On a particular day, she is willing to pay $0.95 for the first can, $0.80 for the second can, $0.60 for the third can, and $0.40 for the fourth can. Answer the following questions. 3.1. Fill out Abby’s demand schedule below. Price Quantity demanded 3.2. How many cans does she buy at $0.55per can? What is her total consumer surplus? Show calculations. 3.3. How many cans does she buy if the price falls to $0.40 per can? What is her total consumer surplus? Show calculations.

find the equilibrium price ratio and calculate the consumers’ demand for each of the two goods U1(x,y)=4x+2y, U2(x,y)=x+y Could you tell me why Px/Py<2, consumer will want x only? Px/Py<1 both consumers will only want x too ? Could you tell me how to find the price ratio to analysis want x only or want x,y?
