1. Consider an individual demand function g 100-5P a. Solve for inverse demand. Plot. b. Suppose the market consisted of 5 buyers, each having the same individual demand. Find and plot the market demand c. Use the found market demand to determine the price (and quantity) that would maximize sellers revenue (assuming 1 seller). Ililustrate. (Attempt) If the seller's costs were $5 per unit, what would be the seller's profit-maximizing price and quantity? Illustrate your solution. d. 2. Suppose a...

Given: Suppose the initial price of good 1 is $2 and the initial price of good 2 is $4 and initial income is $100. A consumer maximizes utility selecting an initial consumption bundle (pt R) and a new consumption bundle (pt S) given a change in an exogenous variable. 80 Baseline Budget: B New Budget:B 70- 60 50...
3. A consumer lives for two periods. His income in period 1 is Y, and his income in period 2 is Y.,. The consumer is free to lend and borrow at zero interest rate (r=0 and R=1+r=1). Y, = Y, = 10. (a) What is the price of consumption in period 1 in terms of consumption in period 2? (How many units of period 2 consumption must the consumer give up to get an additional unit of consumption in period...
Suppose a consumer has budget of $120 per week to spend on food. Consumer can choose to eat at restaurants (R), in which case he spends about $20 per meal (P $20), or spend his money on All-Other-Food (PAOP $1) 2. a. Ilustrate consumer's budget line. Plot R on the horizontal axis. b. If consumer's utility function is U-R AOF, what will be his optimal bundle? What would be the value of his utility at optimal bundle? How much money...
Question: Consider a consumer with utility function4, income Z, and who faces market prices of p, and py (a) Use our optimality condition of MRSy MRTay to find the relationship between x and y which must always be satisfied by a bundle that maximizes the consumer's utility (b) After incorporating the consumer's budget to the problem, calculate the consumer's de- mand for x and y which we will call x(P Z) and y(Py, Z), respectively, because it empha- sizes the...

Question 9 1 pts Logan Roy is spending all his money income by buying mineral water and popcorn. At his current consumption level, the marginal utility of mineral water is 70 and the marginal utility of popcorn is 60. The price of a bottle of mineral water is $2.00 and the price of a box of popcorn is $1.50. The utility-maximizing rule suggests that Logan should: O Increase consumption of popcorn and increase consumption of mineral water Decrease consumption of...

1. Consider the market for dried beans in a small town of 9,000 consumers. Let each consumer's preferences over beans (B, in pounds) and other goods (G) be given by U(B,G) = 120 +G For the rest of this question, fix the price of other goods at PG = 1 and let each consumer have a total weekly budget of I = 100. (a) Write the budget...
