- Please see below. I need help with this.Please refer to the following information to answer the question (in bold) below: You enjoy consuming apples (A) and oranges (O). Suppose that your utility function over both goods is given by Your marginal utility function for apples is . Your marginal utility function for oranges is U (A, O) = AO³ MUA = 0³ MUO 3A0² . Currently, the price of apples is $10/peck, the price of oranges is $5/pound, and your income is $160. Assume that apples are your horizontal axis good and oranges are your vertical axis good. = When you set up the optimal decision rule for your consumer problem, which of the following statements best describes how much you will buy of apples and oranges at your consumer equilibrium? For each peck of apples, you will buy 1/3 pounds of oranges. For each peck of apples, you will buy 1 pounds of oranges. O For each peck of apples, you will buy 3 pounds of oranges. O For each peck of apples, you will buy 6 pounds of oranges.Do you think the model of consumer equilibrium describes how people really make the decisions on what to order to in a restaurant to maximize their utility? Is there a better model to measure consumer choice?
- Problem 1 Last week, neither Alistair nor Bodana purchased blueberries (x). Both consumers had $30 to spend on blueberries and/or raspberries (y), the price of the two fruits was $3 per pack and both consumers bought raspberries only. Alistair's utility for blueberries and raspberries is UA(x,y) = x+2y. Bodana's utility for blueberries and raspberries is UB(x,y) = x +12ln(y). a) In two separate graphs, illustrate Alistair's and Bodana's optimal choices. Your graphs must illustrate the consumers' budget constraints and their indifference curves at the optimal bundle. b) At their optimal bundle, what is Alistair's marginal rate of substitution of raspberries for blueberries (- MUx/MUy)? At their optimal bundle, what is Bodana's marginal rate of substitution? This week, blueberries cost $3 per pack just like last week, however raspberries now cost $4 per pack. c) How many packs of blueberries and raspberries will Alistair buy this week? Clearly justify your answer. d) Using the…Reese thinks peanut butter and chocolate are great when separate, but when they combine they are even more epic. In other words, Reese likes to eat either peanut butter or chocolate, but when he eats them together, he gets additional satisfaction from the combination. His preference over peanut butter (x) and chocolate (y) is represented by the utility function: u(x, y) = xy + x + y Which of the following is NOT true about Reese’s preference? (a) The MRS decreases when x increases.(b) The preferences are homothetic.(c) The marginal utility of y is higher when x = 10 than when x = 5.(d) For any a > 0, Reese prefers the bundle (x =a/2 , y = a/2 ) over either the bundle (x = a, y = 0) or (x = 0, y = a).4. Two individuals, Amir and Budi, consume two goods, clothes (X) and shoes (Y). The utility functions for the two individuals are given as: Utility function of Amir, UA = 15X0.25Y0.75Utility function of Budi, UB = 25X0.5Y0.5 The current price for clothes (Px) is Rp 100,000 and the current price for shoes (PY) is Rp 150,000 a. Determine marginal rate of substitution (MRSXY)between clothes (X) and shoes (Y) for Amir and Budi! Please explain. b. Amir is currently consuming 5 units of clothes (X) and 10 units of shoes (Y), whereas Budi is consuming 12 units of clothes (X) and 8 units of shoes (Y). At this current consumption, have Amir and Budi reached the efficient allocation of clothes and shoes? If they have, explain why. If they have not, calculate the optimal allocation and explain. c. Considering the relative price between of clothes and shoes, at the current consumption, have Amir and Budi reached exchange equilibrium? Please explain d. Use the Edgeworth Box to illustrate the…
- Alex, who was convinced that "Football is coming home", was very excited for the World Cup last year. Unfortunately, he realized that his favourite Paul Gascoigne jersey from Euro 1996 was getting old, so he wanted to buy a new one before England's first game the following week. He could either buy a 2014 James Milner shirt from retailer A, which would make him totally happy (utility=1), or a 2006 David Beckham shirt from retailer B, which gives him a utility of 0.8. However, the shirts are not available today. There is a 50% chance that retailer A will have the shirt on the week-end, and 70% chance that retailer B will have theirs on the week-end. Due to time and work constraints, Alex can only visit one of these retailers before the tournament starts, otherwise he will have to keep his old 1996 shirt, which gives him a utility of 0.5. He can also ask his friend Nathan to check both places in the morning. But being a Welsh supporter, Nathan will not do it for free and wants some money…Illustrate with Example: According to law of diminishing marginal utility, as you consume more and more units of a commodity, total utility would go on increasing, but at a diminishing rate.With the aid of a diagram, describe a corner solution and explain the axioms of consumer choice.
