A Consumer's Demand for Burgers Suppose that the consumer has income, I = $20, and the price of French fries is pe = $2. You are given the following information about the price of burgers and the number of burgers the consumer will buy at that price: Price of Burgers Quantity of Burgers A B C $1.00 $2.00 $5.00 10 5 2 Use an indifference curve and budget line diagram to draw the consumer's three budget lines and three optimal...

To derive the demand curve of a product in indifference curve analysis, the tastes and preferences of the consumer are assumed to be fixed. prices of both products are assumed to be variable. money income of the consumer is assumed to be variable. budget line is assumed to stay in a fixed position.

1 [75 points; Chapter 5] You are to solve the consumer choice problem for three different consumers. Each consumer has $150 to spend (income) and faces prices Px = $2 and Py = $3 for goods X and Y. Consumers I, II, and III have utility functions U'(X, Y) = X? + Y, U"(X, Y) = X12 + Yl2, and UTM(X, Y) = X´Y, respectively. For each consumer, do the following steps. a [15 points] Carefully express the consumer's choice...

A consumer has preferences represented by the utility function: u(21,12)=x2? Market prices are p1 = 2 and P2 = 5. The consumer has an income m = 13. Find an expression for the consumer's demand for good 1,21 (P1). 39p1

Draw indifference curves to represent the following types of consumer preferences (put good-x on the x-axis and good-y on the y-axis). Make sure to include arrows to indicate direction of preference. (Hint: Start with a bun- dle (say 10 units of each), and think about other bundles that give the consumer the same utility.) a) A situation where the tangency condition is always satised. b) A situation with a basket that has positive amounts of both goods that satises the...

Draw indifference curves to represent the following types of consumer preferences (put Apples on the x-axis and Oranges on the y-axis) Make sure to include arrows to indicate direction of preference. (Hint: Start with a bundle (say 10 units of each), and think about other bundles that give the consumer the same utility.) a) I like apples, but dislike Oranges. b) I dislike Apples, and dislike Oranges. c) I neither like nor dislike Apples, but dislike Oranges. d) I like...

Consider a consumer with a utility function u(x1, x2) = min{21, 222}. Suppose the prices of good 1 and good 2 are p1 = P2 = 4. The consumer's income is m = 120. (a) Find the consumer's preferred bundle. (b) Draw the consumer's budget line. (c) On the same graph, indicate the consumer's preferred bundle and draw the indifference curve through it. (d) Now suppose that the consumer gets a discount on good 1: each unit beyond the 4th...

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...
