Jeremy is deeply in love with Jasmine. Jasmine lives where cell phone coverage is poor, so he can either call her on the land-line phone for five cents per minute or he can drive to see her, at a roundâ€”trip cost of 2 in gasoline money. He has a total of 10 per week to spend on staying in touch. To make his preferred choice, Jeremy uses a handy utilimometer that measures his total utility from personal visits and from phone minutes. Using the values in Table 6.6, figure out the points 011 Jeremys consumption choice budget constraint (it may be helpful to do a sketch) and identify his utility-maximizing point.
Praxilla, who lived in ancient Greece, derivesutility from reading poems and from eating cucumbers.Praxilla gets 30 units of marginal utility from her firstpoem, 27 units of marginal utility from her secondpoem, 24 units of marginal utility from her third poem,and so on, with marginal utility declining by three unitsfor each additional poem.

. Praxilla, who lived in ancient Greece, derives utility from reading poems and from eating cucumbers. Praxilla gets 30 units of marginal utility from her first poem, 27 units of marginal utility from her second poem, 24 units of marginal utility from her third poem, and so on, with marginal utility declining by three units for each additional poem. Praxilla gets six units of marginal utility for each of her first three cucumbers consumed, five units of marginal utility for each of her next three cucumbers consumed, four units of marginal utility for each of the following three cucumbers consumed, and so on, with marginal utility declining by one for every three cucumbers consumed.

Ari intends to purchase a new car and has narrowed it down to a Dodge Ram truck or a Toyota Camry. A Dodge Ram truck costs $55000 while a Toyota Camry costs $20000. The utility that Ari will get from Dodge Ram truck is 12500 while Toyota Camry will generate a utility of 2500. Note: A purchase generating utility tells us the marginal utility of the good. What is the Marginal Utility per Dollar for Dodge Ram truck? What is the Marginal Utility per Dollar for Toyota Camry? Will Ari be better off buying a Dodge Ram truck or a Toyota Camry?

Enrique is a movie buff. He likes to watch on demand movies from his cable company, which cost $5 each, and so likes to go to the local movie house, which charges $15 a ticket. Suppose that given his budget and his tentative spending plans, the marginal utility from a cable movie is 15 utils and the marginal utility of a movie at the local cinema is 45 utils. Assuming he is spending his entire budget, Enrique is currently maximizing his utility Enrique can increase his utility by buying more cable movies and watching fewer cinema movies Enrique can increase his utility by buying more cinema movies and fewer cable movies
Rohan’s current marginal utility from consuming peanuts is 100 utils per ounce and his marginal utility from consuming cashews is 200 utils per ounce. If peanuts cost $0.10 per ounce and cashews cost $0.50 per ounce, is Rohan maximizing his total utility from the kinds of nuts? Instructions: Enter your responses as whole numbers. At the current level of peanut consumption, Rohan receives: utils per dollar.At the current level of cashew consumption, Rohan receives: utils per dollar.Therefore, Rohan maximizing his total utility because MUp/Pp is MUc/Pc.
