Alyssa spends all of her money on comic books and mandarins. In 2014, she earned $27.00 per hour, the price of a comic book was $9.00, and the price of a mandarin was $3.00. Which of the following give the real value of a variable? Check all that apply.The price of a comic book is 3 mandarins in 2014.Alyssa's wage is $27.00 per hour in 2014.Alyssa's wage is 9 mandarins per hour in 2014.

The real value is the value of economic variable that is calculated in terms of any other variable.

Hugo decides to buy his Christmas gifts on Black Friday. To simplify his life, he is giving his 10 closest friends scarves for Christmas and everyone else Christmas cards. Hugo is willing to pay up to $20 each for 10 scarves. When he arrives at Macy’s at 5:00 A.M. on Black Friday, he discovers that scarves are on sale for $12 each. Hugo buys 10 scarves and uses the remaining $80 to buy himself some clothes. How much consumer surplus did Hugo receive from the tenth scarf he purchased? Assuming Hugo follows the Rational Rule for Buyers, why did Hugo only purchase 10 scarves when they were on sale? Shouldn't he have purchased more since they were such a good deal compared to what he was willing to pay? Now suppose the manager at Macy’s had 100 scarves in inventory. She decided to put the scarves on sale for $10, but an employee accidentally listed the sales price as $12. To the manager’s surprise, the store sold all 100 scarves at the $12 sales price. How much producer surplus did Macy’s…
Edmund loves lollipops and hates oatmeal. To induce him to eat enough oatmeal and to restrain him from eating too many lollipops, his mum pays him 10 pence for every quart of oatmeal that he eats. The only way that he can get lollipops is to buy them at the sweet shop, where lollipops cost 5 pence each. Besides what he earns from eating oatmeal, Edmund gets an allowance of 10 pence per week. If he consumes only oatmeal and lollipops, and if his consumption bundles are graphed with quarts of oatmeal on the horizontal axis and lollipops on the vertical axis, then Edmund’s budget constraint has a slope of what?
A consumer has Cobb-Douglas preferences for beer and pizza. She spends 50% of her budget on New Belgium Fat Tire ale, 20% on Coors Light, and 30% on pizza. Her budget is $500. The price of New Belgium is $9, the price of Coors is $6, and the price of pizza is $12. Suppose Coors acquires New Belgium, and now charges $7.50 for both types of beer. In order to quantify by how much this consumer is better off or worse off because of the merger: Solve for their demand functions for each good, as functions of generic prices and budget. Note that the budget shares tell you what the exponents are in the Cobb-Douglas utility function. Use the demand functions to calculate their optimal quantities demanded for each good at pre-merger prices. Plug these quantities into the utility function and calculate their utility level for the quantities demanded at pre-merger prices. Now put the demand functions (not quantities demanded) into the utility function. What budget level is required at the…

If the price of eggs were to double from $1 per egg to $2 per egg, Freddy would consume 6 fewer eggs without changing his consumption of other goods, which would he prefer? the price increase? or losing $6?
Pam has a monthly budget of £120 to be spent on T-shirts and trainers. She could afford to buy two T-shirts and two pairs of trainers. She could also buy eight T-shirts. In each case, she would be spending her entire monthly allowance. Calculate the price of a T-shirt and the price of a pair of trainers. Write down Pam’s budget equation and draw the corresponding budget line. Mark the two consumption bundles mentioned above. In your graph, clearly label the axes, the budget line, and calculate the coordinates of the points of intersection of the budget line with each axis. Interpret each of those points. Discuss how Pam’s budget set would change if the price of a T-shirt doubles. Show the relevant changes graphically. How should Pam’s income change so that she could still afford to buy two T-shirts and two pairs of trainers? Discuss how Pam’s budget constraint would change if the government imposed a tax of £3 per each pair of trainers.
Today, you've decided to treat yourself to some dessert, so you go to the store to buy a doughnut or a cupcake. The utilities of one doughnut and one cupcake are 1212 and 2424, respectively.Given that the price of one doughnut is $6$⁢6, what should be the price of a cupcake to get the same utility per dollar spent? Enter your answer in the box below and round to two decimal places if necessary.
Q1: Zainab has a weekly budget of $48, which she likes to spend on magazines and pies. A. If the price of a magazine is $8 each, what is the maximum number of magazines she could buy in a week? B. If the price of a pie is $24, what is the maximum number of pies she could buy in a week?
Myrtle has $400 per month to spend on Transit (X) and all other goods (Y). She currently buys a bus pass for $100 and rides 80 times per month.If she didn't buy the pass, bus rides would cost $2/ride and she would take 20 trips. She is indifferent between the $100 bus pass and $2 per ride. Myrtle is offered to join a Transit program that would allow her to pay a registration fee and then could ride the bus for $1 per trip. The most Myrtle would pay for the membership is $30 and then she would ride 40 times a month. If she were given the membership for free, she would ride the bus 45 times per month. Myrtle also reveals that she would be indifferent between a free membership (and $1 per ride) versus simply having the traditional bus pass reduced to $50 per month (flat rate), where she would again choose to ride the bus 80 times a month. Using all the information provided, draw all the relevant budget constraints and indifference curves. Be sure to label all equilibrium points and have…
Marcia spends her money on tee and biscuits and sugar, which she sees as perfect complements. She eats two biscuits with every cup of tea. A cup of tea costs $2 and one biscuit costs $0.2, and she spends $33.60 on tea and biscuits every week. Use a diagram measuring the number of biscuits on the horizontal axis to show her compensated variation and equivalent variation if the price of a biscuit decreases to $0.1. What can you say about the change in her consumer surplus?.
Suppose Olivia has an income of $800/week for which she can use to consume two goods: entertainment (E) and other (O). Furthermore, suppose the price per unit of entertainment is $40 and the price per unit of other is $25. If Olivia buys 5 units of entertainment, what is the maximum amount of other she could buy? 16 units of other 20 units of other 28 units of other None of the above
You have an income of $100,000. You can buy an electric car (which costs $60,000) or an internal- combustion car (which costs $30,000). The electric car has a lower mileage than an internal-combustion car: it costs you $1/km if you drive an electric car, but it costs you $2/km if you drive an internal- combustion car. You enjoy driving (measured in kilometers driven) and spending on other goods ( measured in dollars). Draw your budget line (in a diagram measuring all other goods on the vertical axis) if you buy an electric car. What is its slope and what is the economic meaning of its value?
Suppose you expect to earn $10 this year and $10 next year. Each dollar you earn this year can be either spent, or saved at an interest rate of 10%. If you want to spend more than $10 this year, you can borrow money at 10% interest and repay it next year. Next year, you plan to pay oyour debts (if any), then spend all your earnings and all your savings (if any). Draw your budget line between “dollars spent this year" and “dollars spent next year". Suppose the government imposes a 50% income tax on all your earnings this year and next year (not including your interest earnings). Draw your new budget line. Suppose the government imposes a 50% sales tax on everything you buy this year and next year. Draw your new budget line. Suppose the government imposes a 50% income tax on all your earnings this year and next year, including your interest earnings. Draw your new budget line. True or False: If interest earnings are not subject to income tax, then an income tax and a sales tax…
