There are two shows on Netflix that Jeff can watch, Show 1 and Show 2. Where x₁ measures the number of episodes watched of Show 1 and x₂ measures the number of episodes watched of Show 2, Jeff's preferences can be represented by u(x₁, x₂) = x² + ax². Jeff has 13 hours available for watching Netflix today. Each episode of Show 1 lasts hours, while each episode of Show 2 lasts 1 hour.

Alice is going to Wonderland and needs supplies. She has $100 and can buy only walnuts and raisins. The price of walnuts is $20 per kg and of raisins is $10 per kg. Alice's preferences are described by the utility function u(x1,x2)=min{0.5*x1+2*x2,x1}, where x1 is the quantity of walnuts, and x2 is the quantity of raisins. Given her budget constraint and preferences, if Alice were offered a choice only among the bundles listed below, which one would she buy? Выберите один ответ: a. x1=3, x2=4 b. x1=2, x2=0.5 c. x1=4, x2=3 d. x1=1, x2=8
James Bond consumes two goods: vodka (x) and martini (y). His preferences are described by the utility function U(x,y) = (1x+9)y. Calculate the value of the marginal rate of substitution in the point (2;2). Please use 2 decimals in your answer.
Given above are some of the indifference curves for a student who consumes Burritos and Pizzas and the relevant budget line. Equilibrium is defined as the maximum utility or satisfaction given the consumer’s budget. The consumer has more indifference curves above I3, below I1, and between I1 and I2 and between I2 and I3. Out of all the indifference curves the consumer has, only I1, I2, and I3 are shown. The given budget line touches I2 at the point where I2 touches the y-axis (Burritos axis). a) If the price of Pizzas decreased and the price of Burritos remained unchanged, would the quantity of Burritos consumed at equilibrium increase or decrease compared to the equilibrium point A in the graph given above? (b) If the price of Pizzas increased and the price of Burritos remained the same, would the consumer equilibrium point be different from point A or the same as point A in the graph given above?

Amy consumes x and y and her preferences can be represented by the following utility function U(x,y) = 4x + y. 1. Are Amy's preferences transitive? 2. Does the marginal utility of x diminish, remain constant, or increase as the consumer buys more x? Explain. 6- 3. Can you use (2) to answer whether Amy's preferences are strictly monotonic? 4. What is MRS.y ? Is MRSx.y diminishing, constant, or increasing as the consumer substitutes x for y along an indifference curve? 5. On a graph with x on the horizontal axis and y on the vertical axis, draw a typical indifference curve. Also indicate on your graph whether the indifference curve will intersect either or both axes. Label the curve U1. 6. Are Amy's preferences convex? Are they strictly convex? Explain
John has a utility function for chocolates (x) and candy (y) which is represented by u(x,y)=xy. Suppose that his income is 1000 TL and the prices of the goods are Px=10 TL and Py =5 TL. Now suppose that the price of chocolate decreases to Px=8 TL. Find the substitution effect and income effect, on chocolate, of this price change.
Lorenzo enjoys going to the theater to see plays, and he also enjoys going to rock concerts. The following diagram shows two of Lorenzo's indifference curves for going to plays and concerts. With Lorenzo's initial budget constraint (BC1), he chose to go to five concerts and three plays per month (point X). Then his budget constraint shifted to BC2, and he chose to go to four concerts and six plays per month (point Y). PLAYS 10 0 4 5 CONCERTS BC 8 Show Transcribed Text BC 10 C Of the following choices, which could have shifted Lorenzo's budget constraint from BC₁ to BC₂? Check all that apply. The price of theater tickets increased while his income and the price of concert tickets stayed the same. His income decreased while the prices of theater and concert tickets stayed the same. His income increased while the prices of theater and concert tickets stayed the same. The prices of both theater and concert tickets decreased while his income stayed the same. Based on Lorenzo's consumption…
