John has preferences for food F and clothing C described by a utility function U(F,C) = min (F, 2C). Suppose that food costs $1 a unit and that clothing costs $2 a unit. John has $12 to spend on food and clothing. (10 pts.) a) On a graph, draw indifference curves corresponding to u = 6, u = 10, u = 14. Make sure to label coordinates clearly. Using the graph, find the optimal choice of food and clothing. Let...

8. An individual's preferences are represented by the utility function Ulx, y) . Which of the following statements is true? a. The marginal utility of x decreases as x increases, holding y constant. b.

A country ("Home") is populated with workers who produce either food (F) or clothing (C). There are 200 workers producing food and 100 producing clothing - these numbers are fixed. Each food worker produces 6t unites of food and each clothing worker produces 3 units of clothing. Workers own the output they produce and can trade with one another. All workers share the same preferences over food and clothing represented by the utility function: In autarky, how many units of...

2. Say, instead, that an individual's preferences for consumption are expressed according to: Utility - U(C)Ca, where C is consumption. Is the value of a positive or negative? Base your answer on your intuition about individuals' preferences and knowledge of algebra (helpful to use a graph). a. b. What is the function for the individual's marginal utility? Note: this is the derivative of the utility function with respect to C. c. Is marginal utility positive for all values of C?
The utility that Julie receives by consuming food F and clothing C is given by U(F,...
The utility that Julie receives by consuming food F and clothing C is given by U(F, C) = FC. For this utility function, the marginal utilities are MUF = C and MUC = F. a) On a graph with F on the horizontal axis and C on the vertical axis, draw indifference curves for U = 12, U = 18, and U = 24. b) Do the shapes of these indifference curves suggest that Julie has a diminishing marginal rate...
