Assume you are given $20 a week to spend only on your favorite choices of drinks. You have two favorite drinks: Di costs $2 and D2 costs $4. Your utility from the purchase of your drinks is U(D₁) and U(D2). The values of utilities are given below - D₁ 0 1 2 3 4 5 U(D₁) 0 12 20 26 30 32 D₂ 0 1 3 U(D₂) 0 2 3 32 5 20 40 444 46 X is the number of D1 and Y is the number of D2 you purchase in a week. a) What combination of X and Y would make you a utility maximizer? b) If you are not maximizing your utility, how should you reallocate your allowance? Explain.
- Refer to the graph below Quantity of Y 160 0 Multiple Choice The consumer's income is $1,000 Why doesn't the consumer choose the combination at point B O Quantity of X 200 O The marginal utility of Y exceeds the marginal uplity of X O The consumer is willing to give up more X for an additional unit of Y than must be given up given the relative prices of X and Y. The marginal utility per dollar spent on X exceeds the marginal utility per dollar spent on Y The consumer is willing to give up more Y for an additional unt of X than must be given up given the relative prices of X and YSuppose Jimi has reference dependent preferences over guitars and money as in Tversky and Kahneman (1991). His utility functions are given below. Gains Gains 400 -2 -2 2 Guitars 2$ Losses Losses i-600 -2 What is the least amount of money Jimi is willing to accept to sell one of his guitars? (just enter a dollar amount, i.e., "10o0", not "$1000"At the utility max point the rate at which a consumer is willing to trade C0 for C1 is equal to 1 plus the interest rate (MRS = 1+r). Suppose U(C0,C1)=lnC0+lnC1, MRS=1+r, and C1=(1+r)C0. If the consumer has income of $100 and saves $60 at 10%, what are C0 and C1? options: $50, $60 $40, $66 $50, $52.50 $40, $60
- Rohit likes playing badminton with his friends. His utility function for playing badminton every week is given by U(t) = 11t - 212. where t is measured in hours. They play on a badminton court, which they can rent per hour. Suppose the current price to play on the badminton court is $2.50 per hour. a) How many hours should Rohít play if he wishes to maximise his utility? b) Explain what we mean by the principle of diminishing marginal utility. Does the principle apply in Rohit's case? Explain why? In a diagram with income in Dollars on the horizontal axis and quantity on the vertical axis, show the relationship between Rohit's budget and the number of hours that would maximise his consumer surplus.Jane spends $210 per month on wine and beer. Her utility function is given by TU = 100WB, where W represents the number of bottles of wine that she buys and B represents the number of cases of beer that she buys. If wine costs $10 per bottle and beer costs $15 per case, she will maximize utility by buying: 10 bottles of wine and 13.33 cases of beer. equal amounts of wine and beer. none of the above. 10.5 bottles of wine and 7 cases of beer. 2 bottles of wine and 3 cases of beer.Sam's extended family spends $3,200 per month on wine and beer.
