Consider the figures to the right. Suppose that the individual currently consumes 5 digital apps. What happens to the person's total utility if they reduce their consumption to 4 units? Why does this fact imply that the marginal utility curve cuts through the horizontal axis of the lower figure between the fourth and fifth app consumed? Reducing consumption to 4 apps from 5 apps leaves total utility at utils in the upper , which is the figure. Hence, the marginal utility between these two quantities of apps equals value of the axis in the lower figure. Thus, the marginal utility curve crosses the axis of the lower figure between units 4 and 5. (Enter your responses as whole numbers.)

Joe is currently in consumer equilibrium by consuming cheese and crackers, such that the last cracker consumed yielded 8 utils and the last piece of cheese consumed yielded 12 utils. Assume the price of crackers is two cents per cracker and the price of cheese is three cents per piece. If the price of crackers increases to four cents, Joe should his consumption of crackers and his marginal utility from crackers will and also his consumption of cheese and his marginal utility from cheese will (Assume he is in the downward sloping portion of the MU curve.)

Suppose we are able to model the total utility function for the consumption of two goods, good x and good z. The utility function is structured as U(x, z) = 3x2 + z2 - 2xz. The consumer is faced with the prices of goods x and z. The price for each unit of good x and z is $1 each. The consumer has an income $1 (in thousands). How many units of each good should the consumer consume so as to maximize his/her utility?
Alex distributes his monthly income of $600 between two goods, movies and food. By spending his entire income on movies, he can enjoy a maximum of 20 movies. On the other hand, by spending his entire income on food he can consume a total of 60 units of food. Assume that food consumption is measured along the horizontal axis and the consumption of movies is measured on the vertical axis. Calculate the slope of Alex's budget line when the price of food increases to $20 while the price of movie remains unchanged. -2/3 - 1.5 -2 -3/4

1 Consider a consumer who consumes only two goods, 21 and z2. His utility function is u (21, 22) = In z1 + 2. where In represents the natural logarithm. 1.a Derive the consumer's MRS of good 1 for good 2 using calculus to calculate his marginal utility from z and his marginal utility from z2. 1.b If the price of z1 is $2 per unit and the price of z2 is $4 per unit, and the consumer's income is $100, What is the equation of this consumer's budget line? 1.c What are the optimal consumption choices, z and z5, for this consumer?
