Show, using a sketch graph, a consumer who prefers a cash gift rather than a larger gift of merchandise. [As a starting point use an optimal choice of a consumption bundle containing an amount of good X and a composite good Y.
Homework Answers
A consumer prefers cash gift rather than larger gift of the merchandise because cash gift allows the consumer to consume more of all goods while larger merchandise gift only allows for large amount of that good.
Bundle P (with cash benefits) is preferred to Bundle O ( with extra good x merchandise) as it lies on higher indifference curve.

2. Identifying normal, inferior, and Giffen goods The green line BC, on the following graph represents your initial budget constraint for good X and good Y, and point A represents the optimal consumption choice, given this choice set. Suppose the price of good X dropped by 50%. The compensated budget is parallel to BC2, representing the same tradeoff between good X and good Y, and it is tangent to the given indifference curve (U) at point B. On the following...

Problem 1 - Consumer Choice Consider the case of a consumer who decides how many cups of coffee (denote by c) and cups of tea (denote by t) to consume every month. Assume the income endowment for caffeine needs is $300; the price of a cup of tea is $2 and the price of a cup of coffee is $3. a) Write down a Cobb-Douglas utility function with exponents a=0.5 and 1-a=0.5. b) Write down the budget constraint for this...

Brothers Victor and Logan each have $100 to spend on comic books (X) and all other goods (Y). Comic books cost $5 each, and all other goods (AOG) have a composite price of $1 each. Assume that their preferences are represented by convex indifference curves. Their grandfather wants to give each boy either 5 comic books or $25 for their birthday. For the analyses below, include a budget line, indifference curve, and optimal choice for each option (comic books and...

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...

Tom and Jerry are two severely competitive rivals who like both milk and cheese. Their weekly production possibilities are shown in the following table. Choices Tom Jerry Milk Cheese Milk Cheese Choice A 50oz 0 24oz 0 Choice B 0 10oz 0 8oz Who has absolute advantage in Milk? Why? Using the same amount of resources, if a person can produce greater quantity of a good relative to other person then such person is said to have the absolute advantage...
