Problem 3 Suppose you have the following value function: (x)2 for gains and v(x 3r for losses. 3a Suppose your reference point is zero, represent the value function graphically. 3b Suppose you get a 10 dollars raise, which you do not expect. What is the value of this raise to you? Suppose you get a 10 dollars raise, but you actually expect to have a 20 dollars raise, what is the value of this raise to you? Depict the two...
Diana's utility function for consuming apples (Xa) and Bananas (Xb) is U(Xa,Xb) = XaXb. Suppose the prices of apples is $1, bananas $2, and her income is $40. On a graph with bananas on the y-axis, use blue ink to draw Bianca’s budget line.With red ink, plot an indifference curve that gives her a utility level of 150. Using black ink, plot an indifference curve that gives her a utility level of 300. Can Bianca afford any bundles that give...

1. Craig consumes apples and bananas. We had a look at two of his indifference curves. In this problem we give you enough information so you can find all of Craig's indifference curves. We do this by telling you that Craig's utility function happens to be U(XA, XR) = XAXB a. Craig has 40 apples and 5 bananas. Craig's utility for the bundle (40,5) is? b. Draw the indifference curve showing all of the bundles...
Problem 2 Suppose that Prof. Wu faces three consumption bundles A-1 apples,3 bananas), . B (3 apple, 2 bananas), . C (4 apples, 2 bananas) Assume that Prof. Wu prefers C to B and he is indifferent between Λ and B 1) If Prof. Wu is rational, what additional conditions you need to impose on Prof. Wu's pref erences? Explain why after adding those conditions, we can say Prof. Wu is rational 2) Depict the three consumption bundles on a...
I only need answers for e and f. Problem 3: Suppose your utility function (i.e. level of satisfaction from consuming a and b) is given by ?(a, b)=?1/3?2/3 where a represents apple and b represents banana. Your total income is $500. The price of apple is $5 and the price of banana is $10.(a) Write your Budget Constraint (BC).(b) Write your Rational Choice (RC). (c) Find the consumption combination of bananas and apples that maximizes your satisfaction given your budget...
1. Charlie’s utility function for weekly consumption of bananas (B) and Apples (A) is given by U = BA . a. Suppose Charlie consumes 20 bananas and 10 apples in a week. Sketch his indifference curve through that bundle on a diagram. (While it doesn’t really matter which good is on the horizontal axis, for consistency with our classwork, assume bananas are on the horizontal axis.) b. Use calculus (partial derivatives) to derive formulas for the marginal utilities (MU) of...
4. Charlie likes both apples and bananas. He consumes nothing else. Charlie consumes x bushels of apples per year and x bushels of bananas per year. Suppose that Charlie's preference is represented in the following utility function: u(x,,Xy)-x,Xy . Suppose that the price of apples is S1, the price of bananas is S2, and Charlie's income is $40. (14 points) a. Draw Charlie's budget line. Plot a few points on the indifference curve that gives Charlie a utility of 150...
Charlie’s utility function is U(xA, xB) = xAxB. Suppose that the price of apples is 1, the price of bananas is 2, and Charlie’s income is 40. (a) On a graph, use blue ink to draw Charlie’s budget line. (Use a ruler and try to make this line accurate.) Plot a few points on the indifference curve that gives Charlie a utility of 150 and sketch this curve with red ink. Now plot a few points on the indifference curve...
