Ronald spends his money on ramen noodles and Gatorade. Suppose his indifference curves have all of the properties of ordinary goods. Also suppose that Gatorade is a normal good and ramen is an inferior good. Gatorade costs $2 per bottle and ramen costs $2 per pack. Ronald has $20 to spend. Draw a diagram of Ronald’s budget line placing ramen on the horizontal axis and Gatorade on the vertical axis. Suppose his optimal consumption bundle is 3 packs of ramen...

1. Suppose a consumer is maximizing utility consuming a bundle apples and bananas x and has standard preferences. Her budget constraint is given by the equation 1000-2a-2b0. Apples are normal goods and bananas are normal. a) plot the optimal bundle, showing the proper indifference curve and budget constraint. Call this bundle x1 b) show the effect of an increase of a single price increase for apples on the budget constraint. Use a hypothetical budget line to identify substitution effects for...

1. (15 pts) Suppose Amy enjoys apple juice (A) and grape juice (G) according to U(A,G) = 3A+4G. (a) (4 pts) If apple juice costs 3 cents per ounce and grape juice costs 5 cents per ounce, and Amy has 30 cents to spend on these products, how much apple juice and grape juice should she buy to maximize her utility? (b) (3 pts) Draw the graph of her indifference map and her budget constraint, and show that the utility...

Show all math work 1. Jerome has budgeted $10,000 this year for groceries and entertainment (nights out on a date.) After some consideration, Jerome provided the following information about various combinations of groceries (measured in bags) and entertainment (measured in nights out) per year to which he is indifferent: INDIFFERENCE CURVE #1: Total Utility =300 Utils Groceries 15 Entertainment Bundle 90 A 70 30 55 55 C 50 65 D 47 80 E INDIFFERENCE CURVE #2: Total Utility = 200...

1. (24 total points) Suppose a consumer’s utility function is given by U(X,Y) = X1/2*Y1/2. Also, the consumer has $72 to spend, and the price of Good X, PX = $4. Let Good Y be a composite good whose price is PY = $1. So on the Y-axis, we are graphing the amount of money that the consumer has available to spend on all other goods for any given value of X. a) (2 points) How much X and Y...

Consider the typical individual in Fisher’s two-period model, who chooses between current and future consumption (C1 and C2) to maximize utility. Their preferences are such that the substitution effect dominates the income effect and savings increases when the interest rate rises. Draw the intertemporal budget constraint and indifference curve for this individual saver when r = 0.10. Label the utility-maximizing point by A. Which is greater, the marginal utility C1 or the marginal utility of C2? How do you know?...

Question 1: Louis the retired Canadian lives on a fixed budget and consumes only two goods: toques (T) and maple syrup (M). Suppose Louis monthly budget is 100 and the price of the two goods are (PT,PM) (4,2). (a) Make a properly labeled diagram illustrating Louis'budget constraint with T on the hori- zontal axis and M on the vertical axis. Indicate the area corresponding to the set of bundles (M, T) that Louis can afford. (b) What is the maximum...

Utility Max.docx Page 3 of 3 Yaomin is an aficionado of the true baseball experience. Every week during 2. baseball season, he budgets $128 for the game and hot dogs. Assume the price of a hot dog is $2.00 and the price of a baseball game is $60.00. Given the information below about Yaomin's preferences for hot dogs and baseball games, determine his optimal choice of games and hot dogs for each week of the baseball season. Show your work....

Suppose that there two goods, X and Y , available in arbitrary nonnegative quantities (so the the consumption set is R 2 +). The consumer has preferences over consumption bundles that are monotone, strictly convex, and represented by the following (differentiable) utility function: u(x, y) = α √ x + (1 − α) √ y, where x is the quantity of good X, y is the quantity of good Y , and α ≥ 0 is a utility parameter. The...
