Graphical and Intuitive Optimization Consider a consumer who must allocate their available income between the consumption of two goods, Beer and Pizza. Their preferences over Beer and Pizza adhere to the usual assumptions we have made about preferences. The indifference curve map below reflects their preferences and the budget constraint reflects current income and prices. In the simplest terms possible, define or explain the term "Marginal Utility of Beer" (MUB). In the simplest terms possible, define or explain the term "Marginal Rate of Substitution of beer for pizza" (MRSBP). In the simplest terms possible, intuitively explain the meaning of MUB/PB, where PB represents the price of one unit of Beer.
4. Liam initially has a weekly allowance of €24 to spend on eggs (at €0.40 per egg) and beans (at €0.80 per tin). Liam will only consume 4 eggs with each tin of beans and never changes this proportion. (a) What is the utility maximising amount of eggs and beans that Liam buys each week? (b) Suppose the price of eggs rise to €0.60 per egg but the price of beans falls to €0.60 per tin. At the same time, Liam's weekly allowance rises to €30. How much of each good will Liam now buy? Compare your answer to that in (a) and explain the difference, if there is one. Use a diagram to complement your answer.

When diminishing returns are present in consumption, the relationship between total utility and marginal utility is as follows: O Total utility increases at a decreasing rate while marginal utility decreases Total utility increases at an increasing rate while marginal utility increases Total utility increases at an increasing rate while marginal utility decreases Total utility decreases at a decreasing rate while marginal utility increases

marginal utility is a measure of the benefit (or value, or enjoyment) a person obtains by a) Consuming a single additional unit of a product. b)Selling a single additional unit of a product (and spending the resulting cash). c) Borrowing the dollar value of a single additional unit of a product (and spending it on something nice). d)Converting a single additional unit of product to an equivalent number of units.
Total utility O diminished as the quantity of a good increases increases as long as more goods are acquired increases as long as marginal utility increases O increases as long as marginal utility is positive diminishes as consumption of some good rises

Only typed answer Oscar makes purchases of an existing product (X) such that the marginal utility of the last unit he consumes is 10 utils and the price is $5. He also tries a new product (Y) and the marginal utility of the last unit he consumes is 8 utils and the price is $1. The equal marginal principle suggests that Oscar should Multiple Choice increase his consumption of product X and decrease his consumption of product Y. increase
*Calculate the marginal utility per dollar of going from eight to nine DVDs. * To increase total utility without increasing spending, should Skeeter change the amount of consumption of either good? No, Skeeter is already consuming at the optimal consumption bundle. Yes, Skeeter should choose more smoothies and fewer DVDs. Yes, Skeeter should choose fewer smoothies and more DVDs.
