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...

Suppose that Bridget and Erin spend their incomes on only two goods, food (F) and clothing (C). Bridget’s preferences are represented by the utility function U(F,C)=10FC, while Erin’s preferences are represented by the utility function UF,C=5F2C. With the market basket F=2 and C=5, both Bridget and Erin get 100 unit of utility. Is it correct to say that Bridget and Erin have the same preference (i.e. their indifference curves are the same)? Explain your answer. Would you agree that Erin...
