Joe is currently in consumer equilibrium by consuming cheese and crackers, such that the last cracker consumed yielded 8 utils and the last piece of cheese consumed yielded 12 utils. Assume the price of crackers is two cents per cracker and the price of cheese is three cents per piece. If the price of crackers increases to four cents, Joe should his consumption of crackers and his marginal utility from crackers will and also his consumption of cheese and his marginal utility from cheese will (Assume he is in the downward sloping portion of the MU curve.)

Emily is a utility maximizer. Her income is $100, which she can spend on cafeteria meals and on notepads. Each meal costs $5 and each notepad costs $2. At these prices Emily chooses to buy 16 cafeteria meals and 10 notepads. a) Draw a diagram that shows Emily’s choice using an indifference curve and her budget line, placing notepads on the vertical axis and cafeteria meals on the horizontal axis. Label the indifference curve, I1, and the budget line BL1. Make sure you calculate the endpoints of the budget constraint. b) The price of notepads falls to $1; the price of cafeteria meals remains the same. On the same diagram, draw Emily’s budget line with the new prices and label it BL2. c) Lastly, Emily’s income falls to $90. On the same diagram, draw his budget line with this income and the new prices and label it BL3. Is she worse off, better off, or equally as well off with these new prices and lower income than compared to the original prices and higher income?
Lisa consumes only two goods, pizzas and burritos. In equilibrium, her marginal utility per slice of pizza is 10 and her marginal utility per burrito is 8. Instructions: Enter your answer rounded to two decimal places. If a slice of pizza costs $3, then the price of a burrito must be $
Suppose Lorenzo has a weekly budget of $48 to spend on ranch dressing and peanut butter. Ranch dressing is priced at $4 per bottle, and peanut butter is priced at $6 per jar. If Lorenzo spends his entire $48 on ranch dressing, he can buy jars of peanut butter. buy Use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Lorenzo's budget constraint on the following graph. Next, use the orange point (square symbol) to shade the area that represents combinations of ranch dressing and peanut butter that are affordable for Lorenzo. Finally, place the black point (plus symbol) on the point on Lorenzo's budget constraint that corresponds to a scenario in which Lorenzo spends $24 on each good.

Tony is throwing a party at his Fraternity and is trying to choose what booze to buy. A bottle of vodka has three times the alcohol as a six-pack of beer. Assume that Tony only cares about the total amount of alcohol in his basket. (use vodka on the X-axis and beer measured in six-pack on the Y-axis) a) Devise a utility function to represent these preferences. b) Suppose a bottle of vodka costs $40, a six-pack of beer costs $10, and the budget is $200. Write the budget constraint. c) Solve Tony’s utility maximization problem and find the optimal combination. d) Suppose that a bottle of vodka cost has increased to $50. What will be his new optimal combination.
The marginal utility for shoes and coffee is given below for five individuals. A pair of shoes costs $2, and a cup of coffee costs $1. Which of these consumers are optimizing over their choices? Explain For those who are not, how should they adjust their spending? Explain “Pasta is Miguel’s favorite meal therefore the law of diminishing marginal utility does not apply”. Do you agree with this statement? It is known that the indifference curve is convex. What does this tell you about the relationship between the goods? The income effect and the substitution effect work in the same direction for a normal good. Explain how this differs for an inferior good.
2 Indifference curves Suppose an individual who derives utility u(x, y) from consuming a units of good X and y units of good Y. Derive the indifference curve for a level of utility U for each of the following utility functions. Draw them in the graph below for a utility level U = 18. (A) u(x, y) = 2x + 3y (B) u(x, y) = min{3x, y} (C) u(x, y) = xy
Yam has the following utility function for Apples (X1) and Ice Cream (X2), U(X1,X2) = Min{3X1,X2}. Yam likes to get more of both Apples and Ice Cream. Suppose Yam has an income of M = $160 budgeted to be spend on these two goods and the prices of Apples and Ice Cream are p1 =$2, p2 =$1. Yam's optimal consumption of Apples is and Ice Cream is (Please put your answer in numerical values with no comma or decimal place.) Suppose a quantity tax of $1 is imposed on Ice Cream. Yam's after tax optimal consumption of Apples is and Ice Cream is (Please put your answer in numerical values with no comma or decimal place.)
