What is an indifference curve and how does a preference map show preferences? Peaches (number per month) An indifference curve shows_ . A preference map shows that a person prefers combinations A combinations of goods that a consumer can afford; he cannot afford over the combinations he can afford O B. combinations of goods that are available; on lower indifference curves to combinations on higher indifference curves O C. combinations of goods among which a consumer is indifferent; that are...
1. Sally has preferences represented by the utility function UC, M) = 3 + 61rC M, where C is coffee and M is meals. Her income is S100, and she pays $2 per coffee and S10 per meal a. Distinguish (the concepts of) diminishing marginal rate of substitution from diminishing marginal uty Your answer does not have to be specific to Sally's preferences. (4 points) Use the Lagrangian method to derive Sally's utility maximizing bundle given her budget constraint. Circle...
Consider a consumer in a two commodity world whose indifference map is such that the slope of the indifference curves is everywhere equal to -(Y?X), where Y is the quantity of good Y measured along the vertical axis, and X is the quantity of good X measured along the horizontal axis. a. what is the value of the optimum Marginal Rate of Substitution for this consumer, given that the price of X is $1, the price of Y is $3...

Please answer the following question. Please show all your work/explanation. This question asks you to recall what you know about how we study the choices of individual consumers. We will focus on an American tourist consumer in Tehran who must decide how many Persian Rugs (R) and how many ounces of Saffron (S) to purchase. Assume our consumer has complete, transitive preferences over Rugs and Saffron and prefers more to less. Explain in words the meaning of these assumptions. Draw...

Represents the set of all baskets in which the consumer purchases only one of the goods. D. Represents the set of all baskets the consumer can afford while spending all available inconm QUESTION 2 Marginal utility A. Is the ratio of total utility to total...
3. Craig likes both apples and bananas. He consumes nothing else. The consumption bundle where Craig consumes x, bushels of apples per year and Xg bushels of bananas per year is written as (X4, Xg). Last year, Craig consumed 20 bushels of apples and 5 bushels of bananas. It happens that the set of consumption bundles (XA, Xg) such that Craig is indifferent between (XA, Xg) and 0,5) is the set of all bundles such that Xg = 100/XA. The...

Declining marginal product of labor O A. is needed if competitive firms are to stop hiring workers at some point. OB. allows firms to make the most profit. OC. mainly exists because workers get tired after many hours of work. OD. implies workers get more productive as more of them are hired. QUESTION 14 Improvements in productive technology that raise the marginal product of labor will cause a perfectly competitive firm's short-run labor demand curve to: O...
