Mats, who has reference-dependent preferences over beer and money, goes to the local pub with a friend, but is not planning on drinking any beer or spending any of his 50 Euro in cash. Let his end-of-evening outcomes in pints of beer consumed and cash be c1 and c2, respectively, and let his reference point in pints of beer and cash be r1 and r2, respectively. Then, Mats’ utility is given by v(6c1 − 6r1) + v(c2 − r2), where v(x) = x for x ≥ 0, and v(x) = 1.5x for x < 0. (a) Suppose that the price of beer is pB. Calculate Mats’ utility from drinking one pint of beer at this price. What is Mats’ utility from drinking no beer? And, comparing these two utility values, what is the maximum price pB that Mats would pay for one beer? (b) Suppose that Mats unexpectedly gets a pint of beer as part of a promotion at the pub, and incorporates its consumption into his reference point in beer. [Hint: this means that (r1, r2) = (1, 50).] Suppose that Mats could sell the beer at a price pS.…
Brit-Brick is a company that produces bricks and cement in the UK. Their largest consumer is ConstrUK, a UK construction company. The manager of Brit-Brick has asked the research department to find out how sensitive ConstrUK’s demand for bricks is. The research department has estimated that ConstrUK’s preferences over bricks (x) and cement (y) can be described by the utility function please see the picture attached, and b=7 The price for one bag of cement is equal to £1. It is estimated that ConstrUK’s budget is £10,000. Find the price-consumption curve for bricks and the corresponding demand curve.
Solve the following utility maximization problem, и (х1, х2) max subject to P1x1 + p2x2 = I meaning find x" (p1, p2, I) and x (p1, p2, I) and u* (p1, p2, I) = V* . In solving this optimization problem, assume the following functional form for the direct utility function, u (x1, x2) = a · In(x1) + b· In(x2)
Happy Goluki likes tea (good 1) and cookies (good 2). Her preferences are represented by the utility function U(q₁,92) = (q₁)⁰.5+(q₂)0.5, where q₁ is the number of cups of tea and q2 is the number of cookies. Goluki is given I = $180, which she is allowed to spend as she wishes on tea and cookies. a) Calculate Goluki's optimal bundle if the price of tea is p₁=$1 and the price of cookies is p2=$2. Call this bundle A and show it on a graph (put tea on the horizontal axis). b) Suppose that the price of tea increases to $5 (I know, I can't believe it either, but Melbourne does have some very fancy tea places) and the price of cookies stays the same. Calculate Goluki's new optimal bundle of tea and cookies (call it bundle B). Show it on a graph from part a). c) If at new prices (pnew-$5 and p2=$2) Goluki has just enough income to achieve the same utility as in part (a), what bundle will she buy? Calculate this new bundle D and show it on the graph from part a). Calculate the income required…
Let Utility be given by U(x,y)=x^2 y^2 With a budget contraint p_x x+p_y y=Y Let px = 10 Let py = 2 Y = 100 Walk through the optimization process and identify the optimal choice for this consumer in both x and y (Hint: the MUx = 2xy2 and MUy = 2x2y) How much utility is this consumer receiving by consuming the optimal level of x and y? Use your answer in part b,the information from this problem, and excel to draw the budget constraint and the indifference curve at the optimal choice of x and y.

In solving this optimization problem, assume the following functional form for the direct utility function, и (х1, X2) —а: · In(x1) + b· In(x2) where a and b are just parameters (i.e., representations of single numerical values). Assume that the Second-Order Conditions for a constrained maximum hold. Write clearly and show your work!

Q12 please help quick Consider a utility function for apples and bananas. You are given the following three bundles: (12, 4), (4, 12), and (8, 8). Under the standard assumptions of the well-behaved preference relationship. you should strictly prefer (8, 8) to (12, 4) and (4, 12). Briefly explain why?
