5. Quasimodo from your workbook has the utility function U(x, m) = 100x-x2/2 + m, where x is his consumption of earplugs and m is money left over to spend on other stuff. If he has S10,000 to spend on earplugs and other stuff and if the price of earplugs rises from S50 to $75, then his net consumer's surplus a. falls by 937.50. b. increases by 468.75 c. falls by 2,937.50 d. falls by...
Suppose that the utility function of a typical visitor to an amusement park is U (r, y) = r - (1/2)p2 + y, where r is the number of rides and y is expenditure on all other goods. The current price per ride is p. Each visitor has income of M. The MU, = 1-r. (a) Derive the Marshallian or ordinary demand function for rides. Com- ment the demand function. (b) On a diagram, graph the visitor's optimal number of...

Joseph has the utility function U(F,H) = 10F2H, where F is the quantity of food he consumes per year and H is the quantity of housing per week. Suppose the price of food is $10 and the price of housing is $5, while Joseph has an income of $150/week. a. What can you say about the nature two goods that Joe consumes? And why so? b. Does the indifference curve exhibit diminishing marginal rate of substitution (MRS)? Provide appropriate reasons....
1. (10 points) Joseph has the utility function U(F,H) - 10F2H, where F is the quantity of food he consumes per year and His the quantity of housing per week. Suppose the price of food is $10 and the price of housing is $5, while Joseph has an income of $150/week. a. What can you say about the nature two goods that Joe consumes? And why so? b. Does the indifference curve exhibit diminishing marginal rate of substitution (MRS)? Provide...

Suppose Tom has a utility function U=C*L C= consumption L= hours of leisure Tom has 100 hours to divide between work and leisure per week wage is $20/hr 1. Write down budget constraint in terms of consumption and hours of work 2.Tom make decisions on hours of work, leisure and consumption to max. utility. Explain why we can collapse this problem to one in which he chooses hours of leisure only 3. Find optimal hours of work and total consumption...
