Jennifer buys two goods, food (F) and clothing (C), with the
utility function U(F,C) = FC. Assume initially that she has an
income of $72, the price of clothing is PC = $1 per unit, and the
price of food is initially PF1 = $9 per unit and that the price
subsequently falls to PF2 = $4 per unit. Use this information and
the accompanying graph to answer the following questions.

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,...
