As the budget is $1.5 and price is $0.5 for both Coffee and Cupcakes, based on marginal utility we need to decide which needs to be bought.
Here, first 1 cupcake needs to be selected, then 1 coffee cup and again 1 cup of cupcake, which makes 2 cupcake and 1 coffee cup

Suppose that Peter's marginal utility for cups of coffee is constant at 2.5 utils per cup no matter how many cups he drinks. On the other hand, his marginal utility per doughnut is 12 for the first doughnut he eats, 11 for the second he eats, 10 for the third he eats, and so on (that is, declining by 1 util per additional doughnut). In addition, suppose that coffee costs $1 per cup, doughnuts cost $1 each, and Peter has...

1. Magnolium Bakery needs to decide how many and what types of cupcakes to make for this week. they offer two flavors of cupcakes: blueberry lemon and red velvet. Blueberry lemon cupcakes sell for a profit of $4 per cupcake, while red velvet cupcakes sell for the same profit of $4 per cupcake.

In this study, researchers were interested in knowing if the amount of coffee (none, one cup, 4 cups) and the time coffee was ingested (am v. pm) affected student exam performance (exams were in the evening). This study took place over a 3-day period. Students were randomly assigned to either ingest coffee in the morning (AM) or the evening (PM). On day one, students were given no coffee; on day two, students were given one cup of coffee; and on...

Juanita enjoys consuming both soda and coffee. Each can of soda costs Ps - $1, and each cup of coffee costs Po-$2. Suppose that Juanita buys 30 cans of soda and 20 cups of coffee per week. The following graphs show her marginal utility curves for soda and coffee. At her current consumption level, Santa's marginal utility from consuming the last can of soda she bought is MUs - 12 utils per can, and her marginal utility from consuming the...

2. Todd earns $100/week, and spends all of his money on coffee and pizza. Coffee costs $5/cup and pizza costs $3/slice. He initially consumes 8 cups of coffee and 20 slices of pizza per week. a) Draw Todd's budget constraint and the indifference curve on which he is currently consuming b) the cost of coffee decreases to 2.50/ cup and pizza increases in price to $4/slice. Draw Todd's new budget constraint c) Is Todd better off or worse off? Explain.
