Take Jeremys total utility information in Exercise 6.1, and use the marginal utility approach to confirm the choice of phone minutes and round trips that maximize Jeremys utility.
Is it possible for total utility to increase while marginal utility diminishes? Explain.
Jeremy is deeply in love with Jasmine. Jasmine lives where cell phone coverage is poor, so he can either call her on the land-line phone for five cents per minute or he can drive to see her, at a roundâ€”trip cost of 2 in gasoline money. He has a total of 10 per week to spend on staying in touch. To make his preferred choice, Jeremy uses a handy utilimometer that measures his total utility from personal visits and from phone minutes. Using the values in Table 6.6, figure out the points 011 Jeremys consumption choice budget constraint (it may be helpful to do a sketch) and identify his utility-maximizing point.
Would you expect total utility to rise or fall with additional consumption of a good? Why?
7. Bob receives utility from days spent traveling on vacation domestically (D) and daysspent traveling in a foreign country (F) as given by the utilityU(D; F) = DFThe price of a day spent traveling domestically is 160 pounds and in a foreigncountry 200 pounds. Bobís annual budget for traveling is 8000 pounds. (a) Find Bobís utility maximising choice of days traveling domestically and of daystravelling in a foreign country. Find also his utility level from consuming thatbundle. Suppose that the price of domestic traveling increases to 250 pounds per day.Denoting his budget for traveling x, (suppose by now that it is unknown) findthe demand for D and F under the new prices as a function of x.

Please no written by hand and no emage Consider a consumer that consumes 2 teaspoons of sugar with each cup of coffee. For each cup of coffee with sugar the consumer gains 10 utils.a) Write down the utility function that gives the total utility if the consumer consumes S teaspoons of sugar and C cups of coffee. The consumer has assigned £7 per week to be spent on drinking coffee with sugar. The current price of coffee is £0.50 per cup and each spoon of sugar costs £0.10. b) Calculate the optimal weekly consumption bundle for this consumer.c) Does the consumer view C and S as complements or substitutes?
