Pls help with thsi question Consider an Individual who buys films (F) and books (B) with the following utility function:?(?, ?) = 5? + 2?This individual also has the following incomes (m) and prices (pF and pB):? = $50, ?f= $5, ?b= $10Given the above:1) Draw the utility functions for utility levels of 10 and 20. Draw these with films on the x-axis and books on the y-axis. 2) What is the MRS for these utility functions? Assume that films remain on the x-axis andbooks remain on the y-axis. 3) What is the consumption bundle that delivers the highest level of utility that is alsoaffordable?
The Phillie Phanatic always eats his ballpark franks in a special way; he uses a foot-long hot dog togetherwith precisely half a bun, 1 ounce of mustard, and 2 ounces of pickle relish. His utility is a function onlyof these four items and any extra amount of a single item without the other constituents is worthless.a. What form does PP’s utility function for these four goods have?b. How might we simplify matters by considering PP’s utility to be a function of only one good?What is that good?c. Suppose foot-long hot dogs cost $1.00 each, buns cost $0.50 each, mustard costs $0.05 perounce, and pickle relish costs $0.15 per ounce. How much does the good defined in part (b) cost?d. If the price of foot-long hot dogs increases by 50 percent (to $1.50 each), what is thepercentage increase in the price of the good?e. How would a 50 percent increase in the price of a bun affect the price of the good? Why is youranswer different from part (d)?f. If the government wanted to raise $1.00 by taxing…

please only do: if you can teach explain each What does it mean?there is no quantity of wine that he can convert to grapes. Thus, for example, if he purchases 4 units of grapes and 3 units of wine, he could consume any bundle (4-s, 3+ s) why the s ? What does mean? with s € [0,4] how to know what to look at: If p₁ < p2 or p1 ≥ p2, why these? Please how to solve: x(p, w) = (2w/3p1, w/3p1) (2w/3p1, w/3p2)
Do not understand please help me figure this out
Also calculate monthly budget. Thanks!
3. [In class, we noted that the consumer will spend all their money if they have in- creasing preferences. Here, we give a calculus-based condition for the consumer to spend all their money, that doesn't assume more is always better. The con- dition is a stronger version of what is sometimes called "local non-satiation".] Let E X, and let MU, denote the marginal utility for good i € {1,2} at r. (a) Suppose some good i has MU, #0 (it could be positive or negative), and suppose the consumer is not spending all her money at bundle x (that is pr 0 if MU; <0. Argue that the consumer would not optimally choose r. x (b) Suppose MU₁(x) = MU₂(x) = 0, the good is affordable (p ≤ m), and u is concave. Explain why r is optimal.
When a country has a comparative advantage in the production of a good, it means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partner. Then the country will specialize in the production of this good and trade it for other goods. The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers (PPFS) for Freedonia and Desonia. Both countries produce grain and tea, each initially (i.e., before specialization and trade) producing 6 million pounds of grain and 3 million pounds of tea, as indicated by the grey stars marked with the letter A.

I am not sure how to start solving the M'. Need some guidance on this so I can also plot in a graph. TY
plz explain the solution in detail. Part a-d
Two individuals, Blair and Anton, derive utility from leisure and from the other goods (OG) they consume. Observing their leisure and OG choices when wage increases, we conclude that Blair has backward-bending labour supply and Anton has upward slopping labour supply. Therefore, Select all that applies a) Leisure is a normal good for Anton but an inferior good for Blair. b) Anton has only an income effect, while Blair has only a substitution effect. O C) Anton's income effect is larger than Blair's income effect, but Anton's substitution effect is smaller than Blair's substitution effect. O d) Anton's substitution effect is larger than his income effect, but Blair's income effect is larger than her substitution effect. O e) Anton's income and substitution effects are negative while Blair's income and substitution effects are positive.
Please refer to the following information to answer the question (in bold) below: • You have $300 allocated for spending on a composite good (Y) and car washes (CW). • The price of the composite good is normalized at $1 (Py= $1). • There are two options for purchasing car washes for your car. o Option 1: Pay per car wash, at $20/wash (Pcw = $20). o Option 2: Buy a 10-car wash value pack for $150. Any additional car wash, beyond the included 10 washes, costs you $20/car wash. Let's say you are setting up your budget constraint under the assumption that you purchase the 10 car wash value pack. Which of the following expressions represents the piece of the budget constraint when CW > 10. Y = 100 - 20CW Y = 150-20CW Y = 350 - 20CW Y = 500-20CW
