Suppose you go to Trader Joe's to buy fruit for the week. You only like apples (A) and bananas (B) and your weekly fruit budget is $11. When you arrive at Trader Joe's you notice that the price of an apple is $1.00 and the price of a banana is $0.25. QUESTION #1: How many apples and bananas should you buy? QUESTION #2: When you have found the answer, draw a diagram that shows the outcome. Step #1. Determine your preferences. Let's suppose that your preferences can be represented by the following utility function: U(A, B) = AªBß = A0.40 B0.60 FYI: This utility function is known as a Cobb-Douglas utility function. It is the most commonly used function used in economics! The reason we like it so much is that it has: 1. Constant returns (double your consumption of A and B and your utility doubles); a + B = 1 2. Diminishing marginal utility (the extra utility gained from consuming A (or B) decreases as you consume more of the A good (or B good); a 0.40); B > a. Step #2: Determine your…

The following scenario examines the relationship between marginal and average values. Suppose Parker is a high school basketball player. The following table presents their game-by-game results for foul shots. Fill in the columns with Parker's foul-shooting percentage for each game and their overall foul-shooting average after each game. Game Game Result Total Game Foul-Shooting Percentage Average Foul-Shooting Percentage 1 4/5 80 2 3 4 5 FREE-THROW PERCENTAGE 100 On the following graph, use the orange points (square symbol) to plot Parker's foul-shooting percentage for each game individually, and use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot Parker's overall average foul-shooting percentage after each game. Note: Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected. Line segments will connect the points automatically. 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 4/5 2/5 1/4 1/2 4/4 0 6/10 7/14 8/16 12/20 1 2 GAME 0000 3 5 Game Foul-Shooting Percentage Average Foul-Shooting Percentage…
If you buy something, you are never ripped off, at least according to the way economists think. If you are willing to spend the money for something, then it has at least that much utility to you. Think about the following three situations: In this very moment A baseball game in a ballpark that does not allow outside food and drink The end a three-mile hike in the desert when you forgot water In each situation, how much would you be willing to pay for the first bottle of water? Would you buy a second bottle of water? If so, how much would you pay? Discuss how utility changes in different circumstances and with each additional unit you buy.
