- Assume that a person's utility function is given by the following function: TU = 2x/2y/2 Assume also that the price of X is £2, and the price of Y is £6 and that the budget is £240. What is the optimal amount of goods X and Y that should be purchased with this budget?A consumer has a budget of $3000 in a given period, and wishes to buy two goods, X and Y, so as to maximise his utility. The price of good X is $5 and the price of good Y is $2, and his MRS is given by the formula 2Y/X. How many units of good X will he buy in that period?Assume that you have a budget of Taka 4000 that can spend on two goods like: coke and burger. Suppose coke costs Taka 100 per unit and burger costs 400 per unit. Suppose also that your utility function is given by the equation U(B, C) = 20BC. Write your budget equation. What combination of coke and burger should you buy to maximize utility?
- Question 2 David spends his budget on chocolate and chip. His utility function is given by ?(?1,?2)= 2?1?2, where ?1 is the number of chocolates he consumers per week, and ?2 is the number of chips he buys per week. A chocolate costs 10 SEK, and a chip costs 20 SEK. David’s weekly budge for consuming on these two goods is 120 SEK. (1) What is David’s budge line? Draw the budget line on a graph with chocolate amounts on the horizontal axis and chip amounts on the vertical axis. Write explicitly at which points budget line crosses the axis. (2) What is David’s marginal utilities for the two goods, respectively? What is his marginal rate of substitution between the two goods? (3) What is David’s optimal choice? Calculate the numerical answer for the optimal bundle. Also draw an indifference curve for David on the same graph as question(1) and show the optimal bundle.Let MUA = z = 10 − x and MUB = z = 21 − 2y, where z is marginal utility per dollar measured in utils, x is the amount spent on product A, and y is the amount spent on product B. Assume that the consumer has $10 to spend on A and B—that is, x + y = 10. How is the $10 best allocated between A and B? How much utility will the marginal dollar yield?If Ginna spends her entire budget, she could buy a chosen set of groceries and also buy 10 notebooks. If she spends only half of her budget, she could only buy a set of groceries and could not afford any notebooks. Suppose Ginna's budget is £150. Her preferences for groceries (G) and notebooks (N) can be described by the following utility function: U (G, N) = 30G + 2N (MUG = 30, MUN = 2). a) Find Ginna's optimal consumption bundle. Provide both algebraic and graphical solution. Explain your reasoning. b) Discuss how the price of a notebook should change for Ginna to change her optimal consumption choice. c) If the price of a notebook increases by 50%, how should the price of the groceries drop so that Ginna can be as well off as before this change in prices? d) Discuss the implications of the price change from c) on Ginna's optimal choice. In your discussion, include the analysis of the substitution and income effects as well as Ginna's demand for groceries and/or notebooks.
- The utility function of a consumer is u = √x + 2y. (a) Calculate how much MRS of that consumer when x = 4. (b) If the consumer currently consumes 4 units of goods x and the price ratio of Px / Py = 1/4, then the consumer should increase or decrease the consumption of goods x?QUESTION 1 For the utility function U = Qx0.50Qy(1-0.50) and the budget 122 = 8Qx + 14Qy find the CHANGE in optimal consumption of Y if the price of Xincreases by a factor of 1.7. Please enter your response as a positive number with 1 decimal and 5/4 rounding (e.g. 1.15 1.2, 1.14 = 1.1).You have $4,000 to spend on entertainment this year (lucky you!). The price of a day trip (T) is $40 and theprice of a pizza and a movie (M) is $20. Suppose that your utility function is U(T, M) = T3/4M1/4.a. What combination of T and M will you choose? b. Suppose that the price of day trips rises to $50. How will this change your decision?
- Suppose a consumer has a utility function given by U(X,Y) = MIN(X, 2Y). The consumer has $90 to spend (M = $90). The Price of good Y is Py = $1. a) Draw the consumer's Price Consumption Curve for the following prices for good X: Px = $1, Px = $2, Px = $2.5. For each set of prices, make sure to accurately draw each budget constraint, and also identify the consumer's optimal bundle on each budget constraint. Make sure your graph is neat, accurate, scaled properly, and fully labeled to receive full credit.Assume someone has a utility function of U = Min[3X, Y]. They currently have 8 units of X and 3 units of Y. The price of X is $12 and the price of Y is $3. If this person could sell some units of X and/or Y what level of utility could they achieve?The utility function for Morris is U = min {AM, T}, where M is pints of milk and T is cans of tuna. Morris has S90 to spend or tuna (prices at $2 per can) and milk (priced at $1 per pint). What is Morris's utility-maximizing consumption bundle? 1)M = 40 and T= 25 2)M= 15 and T= 65 3)M= 10 and T= 40 4)M= 30 and T= 30
