Suppose a consumer has budget of $120 per week to spend on food. Consumer can choose to eat at restaurants (R), in which case he spends about $20 per meal (P $20), or spend his money on All-Other-Food (PAOP $1) 2. a. Ilustrate consumer's budget line. Plot R on the horizontal axis. b. If consumer's utility function is U-R AOF, what will be his optimal bundle? What would be the value of his utility at optimal bundle? How much money...
2) Chimichanga Fest Your utility function is given by U-X,X, where xi s your consumption of Chimichangas and x, is your consumption of all the other goods in the economy. Yes, you spend 60% of your budget on Chimichangas, which is totally reasonable after the Dumpling House tragedy. a) Solve the utility maximization problem, finding the uncompensated demand for x, & x, and the indirect utility function in terms of p,, p, and Y. b) Solve the expenditure minimization problem,...

Utility Maximization with Substitutes Carol needs to decide how to spend her wealth on fish and chicken. For Carol, 1 lb of fish is equivalent to 2 lb of chicken. Her preferences can be represented by the utility function u(x, y) = 2x +y where x is the quantity of fish (in lbs) and y is the quantity of chicken (in lbs). The consumption set is R 2 +. (a) Draw two typical indifference curves for Carol, one corresponding to...
