compare and contrast the marginal rate of substitution of perfect substitutes and perfect compliments. Use diagrams and algebra to aid your exposition.
Marginal rate of substitution can be defined as how many units of good x is replaced in order to get the equal quantity of good y without compromising in terms of utility. It can be represented as :
Marginal Rate of substitution (MRS) =
In case of perfect substitutes, MRS = 1, as 1 unit of good x is replaced by exactly the same unit of good y. The lines are parallel to each other.
In case of perfect compliments, MRS = 0, as there is no replacement possible. The lines are horizontal to each other.
compare and contrast the marginal rate of substitution of perfect substitutes and perfect compliments. Use diagrams...
with the aid of a diagram, differentiate between marginal rate of substitution for perfect substitutes and marginal rate of compliments?
If the inputs to a production process are perfect substitutes and the marginal rate of technical substitution is equal to the ratio of the prices of the two inputs, the firm can choose from a virtually infinite array of combinations of the two inputs to minimize the costs of producing a given level of output. True False
With the aid of diagrams, compare and contrast the muscarinic (Gq-coupled) and nicotinic receptors with respect to location, structure, signalling and timescale of response.
(3) Compare and contrast IS elements, simple transposons, and composite transposons. Please use both diagrams and sentences to answer this question. (9 points)
True or false 7. The marginal rate of substitution is always the same constant number when the goods are imperfect substitutes and no matter how many of each good is being consumed.
H) Compare the individual demand curve and marginal revenue curve for company under perfect competition as well as monopoly. I would be greatly appreciated if the answer is in 5sentences and by your own thank you.
i) Find the Marginal Rate of Substitution at the given bundle,
and ii) use a graph to indicate the given bundle,
and accurately draw the indifference curve that
goes through that bundle. Be sure to label you graph carefully and
accurately. In all cases put the amount of good X on the horizontal
axis, and the amount of good Y on the vertical axis.
c) The consumers utility function is given by U(X,Y)-4X + 2Y and the given bundle is...
7. (4 Points) Describe what the marginal rate of substitution of x for Y (MRSxy) to us about a consumer's preferences between the two goods. 8 (4 Points) Suppose you have preferences over two goods, bottles of wine (good X) and slices of pizza (good Y). Explain what it means that for the bundle A = (3, 15), the MRSxy = 2. 9. For this question, use the utility function U(X,Y)= XY. (a) (2 Points) What is the marginal utility...
4. Consider the utility function U(x,y) -Iny (a) Find the marginal rate of substitution, MRS of this function. Interpret the result (b) Find the equation of the indifference curve for this function (c) Compare the marginal utility of x and y. How do you interpret these functions? How might a consumer choose between z and y as she tries to increase utility by, for example, consuming more when their income increases?
For each of the following production functions, solve for the marginal products of each input and marginal rate of substitution. Then answer the following for each: does this production function exhibit diminishing marginal product of labour? Does this production function exhibit diminishing marginal product of capital? Does this production function exhibit constant, decreasing, or increasing returns to scale? Show all your work.(a) \(Q=L+K\)(b) \(Q=2 L^{2}+K^{2}\)(c) \(Q=L^{1 / 2} K^{1 / 2}\)
