The following problem shows an example of preferences that satisfy transitivity for but not for~. Johrn consumes two goods, X and Y. He prefers the bundle (x, y) to the bundle (x',y) if and only if (y-r'y > 1). Similarly, he prefers the bundle (x'y') to the bundle (x, y) if and only if (r'y' - ry > 1). Otherwise he is indifferent between the two bundles. a. Show that the relation of indifference () is not transitive for John....

3. There are two goods x and y. Milton preferences for bundles of x and y can be described as follows: Between any two bundles, Milton prefers the bundle that has more x. If two bundles have the same amount of x, he prefers the bundle that has more y. (Obviously, bundles with the same amount of x and y are the same bundle). a. Prove that Milton’s preferences satisfy the completeness assumption. (6) b. Describe what the indifference curves...

(c) The indifference curve that runs through consumption bundle A separates all the better- than-A bundles from the worse-than-A bundles.

The slope of a wage constraint reflects the: a. rate at which a person is willing to substitute leisure for income c. income effect b. price of leisure d. substitution effect 3.

3. Indifference curves and preferences Edison likes both chocolate and ice cream. Assume that the more is better" principle applies to Edison; that is, he would always prefer to consume more of either good, holding the consumption of the other good constant. The points on Figure 1 represent combinations of ice cream and chocolate that Edison might choose to consume. Figure 2 shows the same points as Figure 1, but it also shows some of Edison's indifference curves: 11, 12,...

Suppose that there are only two goods, books and coffee. Justine gets utility from both books and coffee, but her indifference curves between them are concave rather than convex to the origin. a. Draw a set of indifference curves for Justine. b. What do these indifference curves tell you about Justine’s marginal rate of substitution between books and coffee? c. What will Justine’s utility maximizing bundle look like? d. Compare your answer to (b) to real world behaviors. Does the...

Do the following questions for each of the two situations below respectively, assuming well-behaved preferences: (a) Graph two or more indifference curves. (Label clearly) (b) Write an equation that could represent the utility function. (c) For that utility function, what is the marginal utility for each good? (d) What is the MRS? Do these preferences represent diminishing MRS? Situation 1. I only eat strawberries. I can buy strawberries in a pint (P) or quart (Q); the strawberries are identical in...

3. Consider a consumer who has well-behaved preferences over leisure (L) and consumption (x) They have nonlabor income m and have 24 hours in the day that must be divided between leisure and working. They are initially paid a wage w for each hour of work. The price of x is 1 (a) Suppose they optimally choose to work 8 hours. Draw the consumer's budget set and an indifference curve showing this situation. (b) Now suppose that they are paid...

8.If bundle A is weakly preferred to bundle B, bundle B is strictly preferred to bundle C, and bundle C is weakly preferred to bundle A, what can we conclude? a. The consumer is indifferent between bundles A and B b. The consumer violates monotonicity c. The consumer violates transitivity. d.The consumer prefers C to B e. None of the above 11.
