- 3. Jane is currently consuming 4 glasses of milk and 10 cookies, while Betty is consuming 9 glasses of milk and 3 cookies. Jane views milk and cookies as perfect substitutes (her MRS is 1), while Betty prefers cookies to milk and is willing to give up 3 glasses of milk to get 1 cookie. Is the current allocation of milk and cookies Pareto efficient? Explain with use of a diagram.Describe and graph your own example of a budget constraint using two goods (don’t forget to label your axes). In your example, make sure to state what the budget is, the price of the two goods, what the slope of the budget constraint equals (make sure to include the correct sign), and interpret what the slope represents.Give me three examples of a normal good, luxury good and inferior good and tell me why ?
- Mr. Chang can buy two goods- cake and juice. If he spends his entire income on cake, he can buy 30 cakes and if he spends his entire income on juice, he can buy 60 liters of juice. If the price of cake is $6/cake: What is the price of 1 liter of juice? Draw a neatly labeled diagram showing Mr. Chang’s possible consumer equilibrium clearly. If his income changes to $240, what would happen to Mr. Chang’s consumer equilibrium? Is he better off or worse off? Why? Indicate using a diagram.Suppose that after your income increases, you consume less fast food. This means: Fast food is considered an inferior good. Coke and Pepsi are substitutes. Coke and fried chicken are complements. None of the above.Problem 1 In the following scenarios, is the good described a normal good, an inferior good, or is there not enough information to say? Briefly justify your answer. a) Richard's income doubles and he goes from buying 4 apples per week to buying 5 apples per week. The prices of apples and any related goods do not change. b) Terri's income goes down by 50% and she goes from buying a bottle of tequila every week to buying one every month. At the same time, the price of tequila doubles. c) The price of potatoes goes up by 20% and Seamus buys 10% more potatoes. His income and the prices of related goods do not change. Hint: think about this one in the context of another topic you learned about this week.
- The Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility is just a theory that has no application to everyday life. None of us behaves as if we were subject to this law. True or False? Explain.For Sara, ramen noodles are a normal good, however Sean considers ramen noodles to be inferior. If Sara and Sean have the same amount of income, Sean's demand for ramen noodles will be less price elastic than Sara's. Please explain why in detail using the substitution effect and income effect graphs.Tom has 500 dollars to spend on two goods, good 1 and good 2. The seller of good 1 offers Tom the following deal: For every three units (of good 1) you buy, you will get the fourth unit for free. Determine how many units of good 1 Tom will end up with if the price of good 1 is 3, the price of good 2 is 8, Tom spends all his income on the two goods and buys 9 units of good 2. Then enter the value below.
- When the price of raspberries increases, consumers may switch to strawberries or blueberries. What effect is responsible for this switch?Imagine, we are in ancient Greece. Praxilla lives in Athens and derives utility from reading poems and from eating cucumbers. Praxilla gets 30 units of marginal utility from her first poem, 27 units of marginal utility from her second poem, 24 units of marginal utility from her third poem, and so on, with marginal utility declining by three units for each additional poem. Praxilla gets six units of marginal utility for each of her first three cucumbers consumed, five units of marginal utility for each of her next three cucumbers consumed, four units of marginal utility for each of the following three cucumbers consumed, and so on, with marginal utility declining by one for every three cucumbers consumed. A poem costs three bronze coins, but a cucumber only costs one bronze coin. Praxilla has 18 bronze coins. 1. Sketch Praxilla’s budget set between poems and cucumbers, placing poems on the vertical axis and cucumbers on the horizontal axis. Start off with the choice of zero poems and 18…
