There are two shows on Netflix that Jeff can watch, Show 1 and Show 2. x₁ measures the number of
episodes watched of Show 1 and x₂ measures the number of episodes watched of Show 2. Jeff's
preferences can be represented by u(x₁, x₂) = x² + ax². Jeff has 5 hours available for watching Netflix
today. Each episode of Show 1 lasts 30 minutes, while each episode of Show 2 lasts one hour. For all
question parts, round to three decimal places if necessary.
For parts (a) - (f), let a = 1. Draw Jeff's indifference curves for the utility levels u = 4, 9, 16. Draw a straight
line between the bundles (x₁, x₂) = (4,0) and (x₁, x₂) = (0,4). Now, use your picture to determine
whether the following two statements are true or false. Answer "1" for true. Answer "0" for false.
a) Statement 1: Jeff's preferences are strongly monotone.
b) Statement 2: Jeff's preferences are strictly convex.
c) Find the bundle at which one of Jeff's indifference curves is tangent to the budget line.

Let say you have 3 products: cake, candy, and bread. The revenue per cake is $8. The revenue per candy is $4. The revenue per bread is $5. Define the number of cake, candy, and bread you are about to produce per day as x, y, and z respectively. The manager wants that the number of candy is at least equal to the total number of cake and bread. What is the correct linear constraint to show this?

This type of change is not abnormal, in that as average household incomes rise, preferences might change. For instance, as households move from poor to middle-class, their consumption of beef might increase. However, as households move from middle- class to upper-middle-class, they might choose to purchase more exotic foods products. Assuming you are a beef producer in 1983, what will happen if incomes continue to increase? a. The marginal cost of beef will increase. b. The marginal cost of beef will decrease. c. The demand for beef will increase. d. The demand for beef will decrease.arrow_forward
