Matthew Hamming is stranded on an island. He has decided that he will spend exactly 10 hours a day gathering food. He can either spend this time gathering coconuts or catching fish. He can catch 2 fish per hour and he can gather 3 coconuts per hour. Matthew's utility function is U(FC) = 3F0.60.3 a. How many fish should Matthew catch and how many coconuts should he gather so that his consumption maximizes his utility? Illustrate the equilibrium with a graph b. One day a native inhabitant of another island arrives on the island. The visitor offers Matthew trade of 3 fish for 1 coconut. The trade fee costs 1 fish (that must be paid prior to the exchange). Will Matthew decide to trade? What will Matthew produce and consume? Justify your answer and provide a graph.

A date with Alex costs you $100 and gives you an additional 1000 units of utility. A date with Kelly costs you $200 and an additional 4,000 units of utility. Based only on the information you have, using the theory of rational choice, you most likely would: O be indifferent between the two dates O go on a date with Alex because the marginal utility per dollar is the greater of the two O go on a date with Kelly O go on a date with Alex
Consider the two questions about utility. The table refers to the first question only. Tod loves to travel, and he takes several river cruises per year. The table contains information about the utility Tod gets from the river cruises. Number of river cruises Total utility Marginal utility 0 0 1 12 12 2 20 8 3 25 5 From this information, it can be concluded that the number of river cruises Tod takes is indeterminable without knowing Tod’s income or the price of the cruises. that total utility is maximized when Tod takes one river cruise. that Tod will take two river cruises. that Tod will take three river cruises. Suppose that Jim has $4 to spend on a snack and that the only thing available is tea and scones.
