There are three consumers in the market for potato chips; Don, Peggy, and Pete. The following table displays each consumers' demand schedule for potato chips. For each blank space, type in the correct answer (write your answer as a number). Price per bag ($) .25 .50 .75 1.00 1.25 1.50 Don's demand 7 6 5 4 3 2 Peggy's demand 10 8 6 4 2 0 Pete's demand 6 5 4 3 2 1 a) At a price of $0.75 per bag, the quantity demanded by the market is [Select] units of potato chips. b) Suppose that the price of potato chips is initially $0.75 and increases to $1.25. There is [Select] by the market that is equal to [Select] units of potato chips. c) Suppose that Pete decides to go on a diet and will no longer purchases potato chips at any price. In addition, after Pete has left the market, suppose that we observe that the quantity of potato chips demanded by the market is equal to 14 units. We can therefore infer that the market price is [Select]
Two students, Nick and Sofia, are discussing normal and inferior goods. Nick says that if Frodo buys more beer when the price of beer goes up, then beer must be an inferior good for Frodo. If, on the other hand, he buys less beer when the price of beer goes up, then beer must be a normal good for Frodo. Sofia disagrees: "Normal and inferior goods are about income changes, not price changes. Therefore, we do not have enough information: beer could be an inferior or normal good in either of these cases." Do you agree or disagree? Carefully explain your point of view. Support your argument with graphs of income, substitution and total effects (please put beer on the horizontal axis and the other goods on the vertical axis). Please assume that Frodo's preferences over beer and other goods are strictly convex and satisfy "more is better" assumption.

You have just opened a new grocery store. Every item you carry is generic (generic beer, generic bread, generic chicken, etc.). You recently read an article in the Wall Street Journal reporting that the price of recreation is expected to increase by 15 percent. How will this affect your store’s sales of generic food products?

Your professor has $20 to spend on Sour Patch Kids and Cherry Coke Zero, the two supplies most useful in the production of economics papers. Cherry Coke Zero costs $1.50. Sour Patch Kids cost $2.50. The professor gets utility from the goods as follows: Quantity of Cherry Total Utility Marginal Utility of Marginal Utility per Coke from Cherry Dollar for Quantity of Sour Patch Total Marginal Marginal Utility Utility of Utility per from Sour Sour Dollar for Zero Cherry Coke Cherry Kids Patch Patch Sour Coke Zero Coke Kids Kids Patch Zero Zero Kids 0 0 X 0 0 X X 1 15 1 35 2 27 2 62.5 3 36 3 82.5 4 42 4 95 5 45 5 100 6 45 6 97.5 (Some columns were left empty.

Five consumers have the following marginal utility of apples and pears: The price of an apple is $1, and the price of a pear is $2.Which, if any,of these consumers are optimizing over their choice of fruit? For those who are not,how should they change their spending?
Use this information to answer the following 4 questions: Marie has a weekly budget of $24, which she likes to spend on magazines and pies. If the price of a magazine is $4 each, what is the maximum number of magazines she could buy in a week?If the price of a pie is $12, what is the maximum number of pies she could buy in a week?Draw Marie’s budget constraint with pies on the horizontal axis and magazines on the vertical axis. What is the slope of the budget constraint?What is Marie’s opportunity cost of purchasing a pie?
Use the information in the table below to answer the following questions concerning a consumer’s choice between food and clothing. Clothing MUc MUc/Pc Food MUf MUf/Pf 1 60 6 1 115 5.75 2 55 2 105 3 51 3 98 4 48 4 94 5 47 5 92 6 46 6 90 Fill in the blanks that remain in the table. Let I = $130, Pf = $20, and Pc = $10. Does the market basket C = 1 and F = 6 staisfy the budget constraint? Could this be the utility maximizing market basket? If not, in which direction would the consumer like to reallocate his or her purchases (i.e. more food or more clothing)? Given I = $130, Pf = $20, and Pc = $10, and using the information in the table, what is the consumer’s utility maximizing market basket, subject to his budget constraint?
Do you think the model of consumer equilibrium describes how people really make the decisions on what to order to in a restaurant to maximize their utility? Is there a better model to measure consumer choice?
The following graph shows Raphael's weekly demand for apple pie, represented by the blue line. Point A represents a point along his weekly demand curve. The market price of apple pie is $3.00 per slice, as shown by the horizontal black line. Raphael's Weekly Demand 7.50 6.75 6.00 5.25 Demand 4.50 3.75 Price 3.00 2.25 1.50 0.75 4 10 12 14 16 18 20 QUANTITY (Slices of apple pie) From the previous graph, you can tell that Raphael is willing to pay s for his 8th slice of apple pie each week. Because he has to pay only $3.00 per slice, the consumer surplus he gains from the 8th slice of apple pie is S Suppose the price of apple pie were to fall to $2.25 per slice. At this lower price, Raphael would receive a consumer surplus of 5 from the 8th slice of apple pie he buys. The following graph shows the weekly market demand for apple pie in a small economy. Use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing consumer surplus when the price (P) of apple pie is $3.00 per slice.…
