From the perspective of an economist, if Van decides to go to the party with Amy, what has he just done? 1. Incorrectly allowed a sunk cost to influence his decision 2. Made a choice that was not optimal 3 Correctly ignored a sunk cost Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.Kip is trying to decide whether to take a one-day martial arts class at Rex Kwan Do. The fee for the class is $400. Kip will also have to pay his brother Napoleon $150 for that day in return for giving him a ride into town. Instead of taking the class Kip could spend all day on the computer chatting with his girl, LaFawnduh. This gives him a value of $300. On the other hand, he could spend all day working with his Uncle Rico and making sweet moolah. Uncle Rico has promised to pay him $350 on that day if he works with him. What is Kip’s marginal cost of joining Rex Kwan Do? Group of answer choices $650 $550 $400 $300 $350 $150 $900Jeremy is deeply in love with Jasmine. Jasmine lives where cell phone coverage is poor, so he can either callher 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 gasolinemoney. He has a total of $10 per week to spend on staying in touch. To make his preferred choice, Jeremy uses ahandy utilimometer that measures his total utility from personal visits and from phone minutes. Using the values inTable 6.6, figure out the points on Jeremy’s consumption choice budget constraint (it may be helpful to do a sketch)and identify his utility-maximizing point

What is Kip’s marginal cost of joining Rex Kwan Do? Correct answer: $900 why don't you include 300 also? explanationJohn likes Coca-Cola. After consuming one Coke, John has a total utility of 10 utils. After two Cokes, he has a total utility of 25 utils. After three Cokes, he has a total utility of 50 utils. Does John show diminishing marginal utility for Coke, or does he show increasing marginal utility for Coke? Supposethat John has $3 in his pocket. If Cokes cost $1 each and John is willing to spend one of his dollars on purchasing a first can of Coke, would he spend his second dollar on a Coke, too? What about the third dollar? If John’s marginal utility for Coke keeps on increasing no matter how many Cokes he drinks, would it be fair to say that he is addicted to Coke?Suppose Jane has $100$100 and is going to have a birthday party. She wants to order pizza and sushi. The price of a pizza is $6$6, and the price of one package of sushi is $8$8. Considering that she decided to spend $60$60 on pizza, how many pizzas and packages of sushi can Jane order? Enter your answer in the box below and round down to the nearest whole number if necessary; rounding your answer up may cause Jane to exceed her budget.
- Suppose that Abel and Eden spend their incomes on two goods, food (F) and clothing (C).Abel’s preferences are represented by the utility function U(F,C)=10FC, while Eden’spreferences are represented by the utility function U(F,C)= 0.20F2C2A) With food on the horizontal axis and clothing on the vertical axis, identify on a graph theset of points that give Abel the same level of utility as the bundle (10, 5). Do the same forEden on a separate graph.B) On the same two graphs, identify the set of bundles that give Abel and Eden the samelevel of utility as the bundle (15, 8).C) Do you think Abel and Eden have the same preferences or different preferences? ExplainStan Moneymaker needs 15 gallons of gasoline to top off his automobile’s gas tank. If he drives an extra eight miles (round trip) to a gas station on the outskirts of town, Stan can save $0.10 per gallon on the price of gasoline. Suppose gasoline costs $3.90 per gallon and Stan’s car gets 25 mpg for in-town driving. Should Stan make the trip to get less expensive gasoline? Each mile that Stan drives creates one pound of carbon dioxide. Each pound of CO2 has a cost impact of $0.02 on the environment. What other factors (cost and otherwise) should Stan consider in his decision making?Revealed Preference is when an individual's behavior reveals information about a person's tastes and preferences,i.e. what he likes and dislikes and how much he likes or dislikes a good. The individual demand schedule and an individual's demand curve reveals a person's tastes and preferences for a good. Specifically it reveals how much each successive unit of the good he consumes is worth to him. We can say this differently by saying the maximum price a person is willing to pay for a particular unit of the good is how much that unit of the good is worth to him. This value is revealed by his behavior or his willingness to voluntarily give a certain amount of money in exchange for that unit of the good. In other words, how many units of a good a person demands/buys at any given price. Look at the images below. multiple choices can be correct. which answers are correct? look at graph.
- When consumers have a budget, their utility is maximized by buying a combination of goods such that the marginal utility per dollar is the same for all of these goods. This is because if this were not the case, it would mean that the consumer hadn't used up their entire budget. of their insatiability. if a consumer could get higher marginal utility from one good than from others, they would want to buy more of that good, and less of others. if a consumer could get higher marginal utility from one good than from others, they would want to buy less of that good, and more of others. it guarantees them some variety.Revealed Preference is when an individual's behavior reveals information about a person's tastes and preferences,i.e. what he likes and dislikes and how much he likes or dislikes a good.

Look at the image.You are in the market for a new couch and havefound two advertisements for the kind of couchyou want to buy.
