14. Suppose Jack has an income of $12 to buy two goods: sandwiches and sodas. The price of a bottle of soda is $1, and the price of a sandwich is $2. Draw Jack’s budget line (BL1) given his income is $12. (Measure sodas on the X-axis and sandwiches on the Y-axis.) Assume Jack’s utility function is U(x,y)=xy (x is the consumption amount of sodas and y is the consumption amount of sandwiches). Jack’s marginal utility of consuming sodas and...

Cat only buys tomatoes (x) and cucumbers (y) and her preferences can be identified with U(x,x)=6x2y. a. What is Cat's marginal utility for tomatoes, and what is her marginal utility for cucumbers? How does Cat's utility change when she consumes more tomatoes? How does her utility change when she consumes more cucumbers? b. Find Cat’s marginal rate of substitution (tomatoes are on the x axis and cucumbers on the y axis). What is the slope of Cat's indifference curve that...

4. Andy's utility is represented by the function U(X,Y) - XY. His marginal utility of X is MUx = Y. His marginal utility of Y is MUY = . He has income $12. When the prices are Px - 1 and Py -1, Andy's optimal consumption bundle is X* -6 and Y' = 6. When the prices are Px = 1 and P, = 4, Andy's optimal consumption bundle is X** = 6 and Y* 1.5. Suppose the price of...

Quick intuition check via True or False Questions 1. 2. If all prices double and income triples, then the budget line will become steeper There are two goods. You know how much of good 1 a consumer can afford if she spends all of her income on good 1. If you knew the ratio of the prices of the two goods, then you could draw the consumer's budget line without any more information. lf good l is on the horizontal...

(a) Put wine x on the horizontal axis and cheese y on the vertical axis. Measure goods for consumer A from the lower left and goods for consumer B from the upper right. Mark the initial allocation with the letter W. Draw the indifference curves for each person through this point. Calculate utility at this allocation for both consumers. Is the initial resource allocation consistent with Pareto efficiency? Explain. (b) Solve for the contract curve of Pareto efficient allocations in...

Question 9 1 pts Logan Roy is spending all his money income by buying mineral water and popcorn. At his current consumption level, the marginal utility of mineral water is 70 and the marginal utility of popcorn is 60. The price of a bottle of mineral water is $2.00 and the price of a box of popcorn is $1.50. The utility-maximizing rule suggests that Logan should: O Increase consumption of popcorn and increase consumption of mineral water Decrease consumption of...
