3. Indifference curves and preferences Edison likes both chocolate and ice cream. Assume that the more is better" principle applies to Edison; 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 ice cream and chocolate that Edison might choose to consume. Figure 2 shows the same points as Figure 1, but it also shows some of Edison's indifference curves: 11, 12,...
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...
Mitch likes both juice and milk. Assume that the "more is better" principle applies to Mitch; that is, he would always prefer to consume more of either good, holding the consumption of the other good constant. (Using the terminology of preferences, this means you assume that his preferences are monotonic.) The points on the following diagram represent combinations of milk and juice that Mitch might choose to consume JUICE (Cans per week MILK (Glasses per weekl Given only the information...
Rosie makes fudge using two ingredients, sugar and chocolate. She prefers to have more of both goods, but she also prefers similar quantities of each; otherwise the fudge is too sweet or too bitter. In fact, her preferences are given by the utility function U(S,C) = S 1/2 + C 1/2 . A. What is Rosie’s preference between the bundle (4,16) and (16,4)? (Note that the consumption bundle is (# units of sugar, # units of chocolate)). What is Rosie’s...
Consider an exchange economy with two goods and two agents. Agent A likes to consume more of either good, but when she consumes a bundle, she dislikes mixing her consumption of both goods. Therefore she only cares for the maximal amount of either good contained in a bundle. Her preferences are represented by ui(xA1 , xA2 ) = max{xA1 , xA2 }. Agent B has preferences represented by ui(xB1 , xB2 ) = (xB1 )^2 + (xB2 )^2. Both agents...
1. True or False, and explain briefly. 1) The assumption that more is better implies that the indifference curves are upward sloping 2) Convexity of indifference curves implies that consumers are willing to give up more to get an extra the more they have 3) Consider the following three bundles. Bundle Good Goody If Bundles A and B are on the same indifference curve, preferences satisfy all the usual assumptions introduced in the lecture, Bundle Cis preferred to Bundle A...
The HHI for the breakfast cereal industry is 2,521, while the HHI for the bottled water industry is 1,409. Based on this: Market power is more concentrated among fewer firms in the breakfast cereal industry, as compared to the bottled water industry. The concentration of market power among firms in the breakfast cereal industry is the same as in the bottled water industry. Market power is more concentrated among fewer firms in the bottled water industry, as compared to the...
