3. Think about you benefit from food. Let c be the market value of the amount of food you have in a given day and u(c) the utility from consuming c. (a) Plot u(c) (utility on the y axis, consumption on the x axis). Explain why it is the shape it is.
Homework Answers
In this question we examine the utility-consumption graph where we see the relation between marginal and total utility . The shape of the total utility curve depends upon marginal utility . When we are consuming the first few units of food , with each successive unit the TU increases since we get positive MU from them . When we reach Point of Satiety ( Point A ) the MU becomes zero and the TU is maximized . After this point the next unit consumed fetches us negative MU . We do not need any more food and if we still keep on consuming it will cause harm to our health and thus causes negative MU , hence TU curve falls down .

3. Think about you benefit from food. Let c be the market value of the amount of food you have in a given day and u(c) the utility from consuming c. (c) You are offered the choice between (A) $150 dollars worth of food for the week (B) 50% chance that you get $600 worth of food for the week and 50% you get $0 worth of food for the week. If this is the only source of food (e.g....

(1 point) Suppose that you have two consumption choices: good X, and good Y. An indifference curve is the set of consumption choices with a CONSTANT utility. For example if consuming 10X and 6Y gives me the same utility as consuming 11X and 5Y, then these are both points on the same indifference curve. An indifference map is the set of all indifference curves with EVERY given utility. Consider the indifference map given by: U = XY, where U is...

Suppose that a fast-food junkie derives utility from three goods-soft drinks (x), hamburgers (y), and ice cream sundaes (z)-according to the Cobb- Douglas utility function: Suppose also that the prices for these goods are given by Px-1,py-4, and pz-8 and this consumer's income is given by 1-8 If z-0, then the combination of x and y that optimize utility involve x*- utility U and y*- , These values of x* and y result in a level of If z- 1,...

John has preferences for food F and clothing C described by a utility function U(F,C) = min (F, 2C). Suppose that food costs $1 a unit and that clothing costs $2 a unit. John has $12 to spend on food and clothing. (10 pts.) a) On a graph, draw indifference curves corresponding to u = 6, u = 10, u = 14. Make sure to label coordinates clearly. Using the graph, find the optimal choice of food and clothing. Let...

Clark gains utility from consumption c and leisure l and his preferences for consumption and leisure can be expressed as U(c, l) = 2(√ c)(l). This utility function implies that Clark’s marginal utility of leisure is 2√ c and his marginal utility of consumption is l √ c . He has 16 hours per day to allocate between leisure (l) and work (h). His hourly wage is $12 after taxes. Clark also receives a daily check of $30 from the...

(Use this information to answer a, b, c below) Suppose Mary’s utility function for two goods X and Y is given by: U(X,Y) = 3X1/2Y1/2 . Suppose consumption bundle A consists of 10 units of X and 30 units of Y, and consumption bundle B consists of 40 units of X and 20 units of Y. a. Consumption bundle A lies on a higher/lower/same indifference curve than consumption bundle B. Show computations. b. Compute Mary’s MRSxy at consumption bundle A....
