Yvette enjoys consuming both milk and juice. Each glass of milk costs PMS1, and each glass of juice costs P$2. Suppose that Yvette buys 300 glasses of milk and 200 glasses of juice per year. The following graphs show her marginal utility curves for milk and juice. At her current consumption level, Yvette's marginal utility from consuming the last glass of milk she bought is MUM = 30 utils per glass, and her marginal utility from consuming the last glass...
Finding the optimal combination of two goods Eleanor enjoys consuming both guacamole and salsa.
Eleanor enjoys consuming both guacamole and salsa. Each jar of guacamole costs PG=$1PG=$1, and each jar of salsa costs PS=$2PS=$2. Suppose that Eleanor buys 300 jars of guacamole and 200 jars of salsa per year. The following graphs show her marginal utility curves for guacamole and salsa. At her current consumption level, Eleanor's marginal utility from consuming the last jar of guacamole she bought is MUG=30MUG=30 utils per jar, and her marginal utility from consuming the last jar of salsa she bought is MUS=30MUS=30 utils per...

9. The logic of price discrimination Aa Aa Consider the market for airline tickets on Trans-America Airlines from Los Angeles to Philadelphia. The following graph shows the demand curve, marginal revenue (MR) curve, and marginal cost (MC) curve for this particular flight In particular, the cost of adding another passenger to an otherwise empty seat is constant at $80. For simplicity, assume throughout this question that there are no supply constraints owing to seating capacity and assume that there are...

Is Alyssa currently maximizing her utility? 0 O No; she could buy less fruit and more cheese, not spend any more money, and be better off. 0 O Yes; the marginal utility she receives from her last pound of cheese equals that of her last pound of fruit. 0 O No; she likes fruit and cheese more than other goods, so she should buy more of both. No; she could buy more fruit and less cheese, not spend any more...

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...

Suppose an individual’s utility function for two goods X and Y is givenby U(X,Y) = X^(3/4)Y^(1/4) Denote the price of good X by Px, price of good Y by Py and the income of the consumer by I. a) (2 points) Write down the budget constraint for the individual. b) (4 points) Derive the marginal utilities of X and Y. c) (3 points) Derive the expression for the marginal rate of substitution of X for Y. Write down the tangency...

1. College Station has two residents: Ben and Gerry. The 4th of July fireworks are funded from their individual contributions. They each have the same preferences over private goods (X) and total fireworks (F), represented by the utility function U = 10 x log(x) + 5x log(F), where F = Fg + Fois the total amount of fireworks, and Fo, Fa are Ben's and Gerry's contribution to fireworks. Ben and Gerry each have an income of $100, and the price...
