Ambrose has indifference curves with the equation x2=constant-4x11/2, where larger constants correspond to higher indifference curves. If good 1 is drawn on the horizontal axis and good 2 on the vertical axis, what is the slope of Ambrose's indifference curve when his consumption bundle is (16,10)

a.-0.50

b.-16/10

c.-10/16

d.-14

e.-4

    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...

    3. Craig likes both apples and bananas. He consumes nothing else. The consumption bundle where Craig consumes x, bushels of apples per year and Xg bushels of bananas per year is written as (X4, Xg). Last year, Craig consumed 20 bushels of apples and 5 bushels of bananas. It happens that the set of consumption bundles (XA, Xg) such that Craig is indifferent between (XA, Xg) and 0,5) is the set of all bundles such that Xg = 100/XA. The...
