The following graph shows three possible indifference curves (I) for a consumer.DONUTSDEBCAKE1:Refer to Figure 21-7. When comparing bundle B to bundle C, the consumerO a. prefers bundle B because it contains more donuts.O b. is indifferent between the two bundles.O c. prefers bundle C because it contains more cake.Od. In order to compare bundle B to bundle C, we must know the prices of cake and donuts.

In this scenario, the consumer is indifferent between bundle B and bundle C because they both…

Answered: The following graph shows three…

Please see below. I just need help with the one I got incorrect which is the a graph.
A consumer’s preferences between goods x and y are representedby the utility function u(x, y) = 2min{x, y}+10. Suppose this consumer hasincome of $16, the price of good x is $3 and the price of good y is $1. Suppose the price of good x increases to $7 while the price of good y andthe consumer’s income stay constant. Calculate the magnitudes of the compensating and the equivalent variations. Explain what each measures.

-uppose John is currently at point A on the indifference curve to the right. If he moves to point B, en A. the level of utility remains constant because the marginal utility of pizza increases and the marginal utility of Pepsi decreases. OB. the level of utility increases because the marginal utility of pizza increases. OC. the level of utility remains constant because the marginal utility of pizza decreases and the marginal utility of Pepsi increases. OD. the level of utility decreases because the marginal utility of Pepsi decreases. Pepsi (bottles per week) B Pizza (slices per week)
