- Mordecai consumes only coffee (C) and video games (G), and his utility function is U(C,G)=C1/2G1/2. The price of coffee is p, and the price of video games is 10. Mordecai’s income is m. In this problem, you will find Mordecai’s utility maximizing combination of coffee and video games. a.Suppose m=100 and p=10. How much of each good does Mordecai consume? Draw a graph showing his budget constraint and indifference curve passing through the chosen bundle. (2 points) b.Suppose m=100...

1. Suppose a consumer is maximizing utility consuming a bundle apples and bananas x and has standard preferences. Her budget constraint is given by the equation 1000-2a-2b0. Apples are normal goods and bananas are normal. a) plot the optimal bundle, showing the proper indifference curve and budget constraint. Call this bundle x1 b) show the effect of an increase of a single price increase for apples on the budget constraint. Use a hypothetical budget line to identify substitution effects for...
