10. Deriving demand from an indifference mapAlyssa lives in Dallas and enjoys drinking lattes and eating scones. The price of a latte is held constant at $4 throughout this problem.On the following graph, the purple curves (I and I2) represent two of Alyssa's indifference curves. The lines BC, and BC2 show two budgetconstraints. Points X and Y show Alyssa's optimum consumption bundles subject to these budget constraints.18161412Y108BO+0 248.10141618SCONESGiven the preceding graph and knowing the price of a latte is $4, Alyssa's available income for lattes and scones is $2012202)LATTES Given the preceding graph and knowing the price of a latte is $4, Alyssa's available income for lattes and scones is $Using the income amount you just computed, complete the following table by finding the price of a scone when BC1 represents Alyssa's budgetconstraint and when BC2 represents her budget constraint.

Derive and plot Madeline's demand curve for Coke if she views Coke and Pepsi as perfect substitutes. (Hint: The quantity of Coke consumed where the budget line hits the Coke axis is Y/Pc, where pc is the price of Coke, pp is the price of Pepsi, and Y is income.) Use the 3-point curved line drawing tool to draw Madeline's demand curve for Coke. To simplify the analysis, assume that if the price of Coke and the price of Pepsi are equal, then Madeline, though indifferent between the two, only consumes Coke. Label this curve 'Demand'. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. C Price/can of Coke Pp Y Pc Coke, Cans per year
Suppose Victoria has a budget of $66 that she spends on movies (Q1) and roller skating (Q₂). The price of movie tickets recently increased from $8 per person to $11 per person, and the price of roller skating decreased from $7 to $6 per person. What is Victoria's new budget constraint?

From California to New York, legislative bodies across the United States are considering eliminating or reducing the surcharges that banks impose on noncustomers, who make $14 million in withdrawals from other banks’ ATM machines. On average, noncustomers earn a wage of $20 per hour and pay ATM fees of $2.75 per transaction. It is estimated that banks would be willing to maintain services for 5 million transactions at $1.00 per transaction, while noncustomers would attempt to conduct 19 million transactions at that price. Estimates suggest that, for every 1 million gap between the desired and available transactions, a typical consumer will have to spend an extra minute traveling to another machine to withdraw cash.a. Based on this information, what would be the nonpecuniary cost of legislation that would place a $1.00 cap on the fees banks can charge for noncustomer transactions?b. What would be the full economic price of this legislation?
The graph below shows David’s preferences for leisure and consumption. Draw three budget constraints in the graph below. One if David’s wage is $10 per hour (BC1), another if his wage is $20 per hour (BC2) and a third for if his wage is $30 per hour (BC3). Show the optimal combination of leisure and consumption for each of the three budget constraints. Label the optimal amount of Leisure, L1, L2 & L3, and label the optimal amounts of consumption C1, C2 & C3.
Based on the graphical representation in Figure 1, calculate the price elasticity of demand for ibuprofen. Address the following questions when crafting your answer: What impact would a price increase have on the demand for ibuprofen and on consumer surplus given the price elasticity of demand depicted in Figure 1? What factors usually influence a resource’s price elasticity of demand? In the real world, you might expect the consumption choices of ibuprofen to be affected by brand-name versions of ibuprofen, such as Advil. Would you expect the brand-named products to have the same elasticity of demand as generic ibuprofen?
From California to New York, legislative bodies across the United States are considering eliminating or reducing the surcharges that banks impose on noncustomers, who make $10 million in withdrawals from other banks' ATM machines. On average, noncustomers earn a wage of $22 per hour and pay ATM fees of $3.50 per transaction. It is estimated that banks would be willing to maintain services for 4 million transactions at $1.00 per transaction, while noncustomers would attempt to conduct 20 million transactions at that price. Estimates suggest that, for every 1 million gap between the desired and available transactions, a typical consumer will have to spend an extra minute traveling to another machine to withdraw cash.

4.13 CES indirect utility and expenditure functions In this problem, we will use a more standard form of the CES utility function to derive indirect utility and expenditure functions. Suppose utility is given by U(x, y) = (x° +y®)'/8 [in this function the elasticity of substitution o = 1/(1 – 6)]. a. Show that the indirect utility function for the utility function just given is V = I(p, + p,)¬/", where r = 8/(ò – 1) = 1 – 0. b. Show that the function derived in part (a) is homogeneous of degree zero in prices and income. c. Show that this function is strictly increasing in income. d. Show that this function is strictly decreasing in any price. e. Show that the expenditure function for this case of CES utility is given by E = V(p', + p,)''". f. Show that the function derived in part (e) is homogeneous of degree one in the goods' prices. g. Show that this expenditure function is increasing in each of the prices. h. Show that the function is concave in each price.

John has $300 as income and he uses his income only for apples and bananas. If he uses his income only for apples, he can buy 10 pounds. If he uses his income only for bananas, he can buy 15 pounds. Which one is the correct formula for his budget constraint when X=pounds of apples, Y=pounds of bananas and the prices are per pound? a) More information is needed to answer the question. b) 15X + 10Y = 300 c) 10X + 15Y = 300 d) 20X + 30Y = 300 e) 30X + 20Y = 300
Since 1979, low-income recipients have been given food stamps without charge. However, before 1979, people bought food stamps at a subsidized rate. For example, to get $1 worth of food stamps, a household paid about 40¢ (the exact amount varied by household characteristics and other factors). What is the budget constraint facing an individual if that individual may buy up to $100 per month in food stamps at 40¢ per each $1 coupon? Compare this constraint to the original budget constraint with no assistance and the budget constraint if the individual receives $100 of food stamps for free. Assume the individual has income of $120 per month. 1.) Using the multipoint curved line drawing tool, graph the budget constraint facing this food stamp recipient with subsidized food stamps. Label this line 'L₁'. 2.) Using the line drawing tool, graph the budget constraint with no food stamp assistance. Label this line 'L2.' 3.) Using the multipoint curved line drawing tool, graph the budget…
Mia is a registered nurse. She has 18 hours per day to devote to labor or leisure, and has $20 nonlabor income per day. She is paid $10 per hour for the first 8 hours of work and $15 per hour for overtime (for hours worked over 8 hours). Mia's preferences are represented by U(C, R) = CR utility function, where Cis the amount of dollars she spends on consumer goods and R be the number of hours of leisure that she chooses. Question 1 Part a Assuming she can work as many hours per day as she wishes, draw Mia's indif- ference curves, budget constraints and solve for her optimal consumption and leisure choices. Question 1 Part b Suppose that Mia's wage rate rises to $11 an hour for the first 8 hours. She is still paid $15 per hour for overtime. Again, find her optimal choice. Decompose the total change in demand due to a price change into a substitution effect, ordinary income effect and endowment income effect and graphically demonstrate each effect.
Sean and Yvette Durand live in Detroit and enjoy going out to fancy restaurants for dinner and to diners for breakfast. On the following diagram, the purple curves ₁ and 12 represent two of their indifference curves for fancy dinners and diner breakfasts. They have $1,000 per month available to spend on eating out. The price of a diner breakfast is always $10. Each labeled point represents the tangency between a budget constraint and the corresponding indifference curve.
