- 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 round—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.The following is Ray Windmill White’s total utility schedule for pairs of boxing gloves.

To survive with sufficient energy to attend classes, he knows that he needs to consume 50 protein units per week. The only two foods he can stand to eat on a regular basis are beans and hamburger. He derives twice as ich pleasure per protein unit from eating hamburger as he does from beans. a. Assume that hamburger costs $3.00 per protein unit and beans cost $1.00 per protein unit. Formulate the student's diet problem as a linear program. (You can assume he wants to maximize his "total utility" from his diet and that he gets I utile from each protein unit of beans he consumes and 2 utiles from each pro- tein unit of hamburger.) What is the optimal consumption of beans and ham- burger in this case? b. Plot the student's price-response curve for beans as the price of beans goes from $0.01 to $2.00, assuming that everything else (including the price of hamburger) stays constant. Note that his individual price-response…
