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 Apples, but neither like nor dislike Oranges.

e) I like Apples and Oranges, but I only want 2 Apples for every 5 Oranges.

f) I like both Apples and Oranges, and always get the same additional satisfaction from 2 Apples as I do from 3 Oranges

    Imagine a representative consumer, whose utility for apples (X) and all other goods (Y) can be represented in a Cobb-Douglas form. 1) Please graphically represent consumer indifference curves, given prices Px and Py and the budget constraint M. 2) What will happen to consumer utility and optimal bundle if consumer income (budget) increases and apples are a necessity good? Please show graphically and explain the intuition. 3) How would the Engel curve look like for point #2?

    Question 2. Consider the following 8 bundles of goods x and y: A = (8,4) B = (5,6) C = (5,9) D = (10,3) E =(1,4) F =(6,5) G=(2,8) H =(7,8) (a) Come up with an example of a utility function that will produce the following order of preference for the bundles, where H is most preferred, A and G are equally preferred, and E is least preferred. H , C , B , F , A = G ,...

    3. Indifference curves and preferences Alex likes both soda and milk. Assume that the "more is better" principle applies to Alex; that is, he would always prefer to consume more of either good, holding the consumption of the other good constant. The points on Figure 1 represent combinations of milk and soda that Alex might choose to consume. Figure 2 shows the same points as Figure 1, but it also shows some of Alex's indifference curves: 11, 12, and 13...

    2. Sandra has the following preferences over cookies (x) and tea (y) (x,y) = min(3x, 2y) (a) Graph Sandra's indifference curves that go through points (2,3), (4,6), (6,9), (8,12). Be sure to label the axis and the utility levels of the indifference curves. (Hint: You should be graphing 4 indifference curves) (10 points) (b) On the same graph above, draw a budget constraint where pe=2.py=2 m = 20. (Note, careful attention to precise graphing here will help in partc.) (4...

    2. Consider the following four consumers (C1,C2,C3,C4) with the following utility functions: Consumer   Utility Function C1                 u(x,y) = 2x+2y C2                 u(x,y) = x^3/4y^1/4 C3                u(x,y) = min(x,y) C4                u(x,y) = min(4x,3y) On the appropriate graph, draw each consumer’s indifference curves through the following points: (2,2), (4,4), (6,6) and (8,8), AND label the utility level of each curve. Hint: Each grid should have 4 curves on it representing the same preferences but with different utility levels. 3. In the following parts,...
