Nathaniel has an income of $100 per week, which he spends on medicine and all other goods. Assume his medicine costs $10 for each pill. Suppose the government agrees to pay half of Nathaniel’s medicine bill, so that his pills effectively cost him only $5 each. As a result, he chooses to buy 80 pills. Graphically show how the government program affects Nathaniel’s budget constraint and show his new optimal consumption bundle (labeled P*). Suppose the government ends the old...

4. Charlie likes both apples and bananas. He consumes nothing else. Charlie consumes x bushels of apples per year and x bushels of bananas per year. Suppose that Charlie's preference is represented in the following utility function: u(x,,Xy)-x,Xy . Suppose that the price of apples is S1, the price of bananas is S2, and Charlie's income is $40. (14 points) a. Draw Charlie's budget line. Plot a few points on the indifference curve that gives Charlie a utility of 150...

Suppose Yakov has a weekly budget of $48 to spend on coffee and yogurt.
1. An individual's budget Suppose Yakov has a weekly budget of $48 to spend on coffee and yogurt. Coffee is priced at $4 per cup, and yogurt is priced at $6 per container. If Yakov spends his entire $48 on coffee, he can buy _______ cups of coffee. If he spends his entire $48 on yogurt, he can buy _______ containers of yogurt. Use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Yakov's budget constraint on the following graph. Next, use the orange point...

Quick intuition check via True or False Questions 1. 2. If all prices double and income triples, then the budget line will become steeper There are two goods. You know how much of good 1 a consumer can afford if she spends all of her income on good 1. If you knew the ratio of the prices of the two goods, then you could draw the consumer's budget line without any more information. lf good l is on the horizontal...

1) Noah likes hot dogs and Coca-Cola. Hot dogs cost $1 each and Cokes cost $.50 per bottle There is a special promotion for Coke that will last for one month. If Noah sends in the bottle tops from the Cokes he drinks during the next month, he will get a refund of $.20 for every bottlecap beyond the first 12 that he returns. For example, if he returns 25 bottle caps he will get back $2.60 $.20(25 12). Noah...
Bob is deciding how much labour he should supply. He gets utility from consumption of beer...
Bob is deciding how much labour he should supply. He gets utility from consumption of beer (given by C) and from leisure time (given by L), which he spends hanging out with his friend Doug. This utility is given by the following utility function: U(C, L) = ln(C) + 10 ln(L). Given this utility function, Bob’s marginal utility from consumption is given by: MUC = ∂U ∂C = 1 C and his marginal utility from leisure is given by: MUL...

) Bob is deciding how much labour he should supply. He gets utility from consumption of beer (given by C) and from leisure time (given by L), which he spends hanging out with his friend Doug. This utility is given by the following utility function: U(C, L) = ln(C) + θ ln(L) where the value of θ was determined by your student number and ln(C) denotes the natural logarithm of consumption etc. Given this utility function, Bob’s marginal utility from...
