Natalia and her sister, Gina, have the following utility functions on the number of slices of pizza (x) and cans of soda (y) they consume in the semester. Natalia’s is U(x,y)=3x+2y and Gina’s is V(x,y)=4x+2y. Then, among the bundles that are indifferent to (2,0) for Natalia, the only bundle that gives Gina a utility of 7 is?
a. |
(7, 0) |
|
b. |
(0, 7/2) |
|
c. |
(7/4,0) |
|
d. |
(0, 3/2) |
|
e. |
(1, 3/2) |
e) 1,3/2 is the bundle that is indifferent to natalia's (2,0) and also gives Gina utility of 7.

Marginal Utility Slices of Pizza Total U tility 50 2 90 120 130 137 120 5) In the above table, what is the marginal utility of the fourth slice of pizza consumed? A) 32.5 B) 130 C) 10 D) 120 2 0 Quantity of x 6) Using the above figure, we can conclude that a utility-maximizing consumer will choose to consume the following combination of the two goods: A) N B) J D) K C) M 7) Refer to the...
2. Consider the following four consumers (C1,C2,C3,C4) with the following utility functions: Consumer Utility Function C1 u(x,y) = 2x+2y C2 u(x,y) = x^3/4y^1/4 C3 u(x,y) = min(x,y) C4 u(x,y) = min(4x,3y) On the appropriate graph, draw each consumer’s indifference curves through the following points: (2,2), (4,4), (6,6) and (8,8), AND label the utility level of each curve. Hint: Each grid should have 4 curves on it representing the same preferences but with different utility levels. 3. In the following parts,...
1. Consumer’s utility function is: U (X,Y) = 10X + Y. Consumer’s income M is 40 euros, the price per unit of good X (i.e. Px ) is 5 euros and the price per unit of good Y (i.e. Py) is 1 euro. a) What is the marginal utility of good X (MUx) for the consumer? ( Answer: MUx = 10) b) What is the marginal utility of good Y (MUy) for the consumer? ( Answer: MUy = 1) c)...
