Sue has $120 to spend on movies and dinners this month. The price of a dinner is $20 and the price of a movie is $10. a. Draw the budget constraint with dinners on the x-axis and movies on the y-axis. b. Graphically show Sue’s utility-maximizing bundle, assuming that both goods are normal goods. c. Graphically show Sue’s utility-maximizing bundle, assuming that dinner is a normal good and movie is an inferior good. d. If the price of a dinner...
Mike has a part-time job and earns $50 per week. He spends his entire income on two goods: Hamburgers (which cost $2 each) and movie rentals (which cost $3 each). Draw Mike's budget constraint. Suppose that Mike decides to purchase 10 hamburgers and rent 10 movies this week. Is this choice within Mike's opportunity set? Show this choice on your graph.
A consumer has a $1,800 budget for entertainment, which she splits between going to concerts and seeing movies at the ArcLight in Hollywood. Movie tickets cost on average $18 each and concert tickets cost on average $40 each. Draw the consumer’s budget line on a graph. For each of the following situations, draw a new graph with the updated budget line from below (for a total of five separate graphs). Label each line. If the new lines differ from the...
Assume that Jean has an annual income of $50,000, and she spends her income on milk (X) and all other goods (AOG) (Y). The price of milk is $2, and the price of AOG is $1/unit. Her preferences can be represented by convex indifference curves. a. (4 pts) Illustrate her optimal choice (X*,Y*) on a graph, using indifference curve-budget line analysis. (Note: you do not have enough information to have numerical answers for X* and Y*). b. (11 pts) In...
Practice Problem Isabel spends $10 weekly for personal care items. When shopping, she usually buys the same shampoo so.25 (pu) per ounce and spends the rest of her budget on other personal care items (q2) model priced at p $1. Her preferences are expressed with quasilinear utility function U-2q10+q the function is linear (q), and another- non-linear(2q: (qı). which costs led as a composite good where one component of 05). 1. Solve for Isabel's optimal weekly bundle of personal care...

Label your values of the intercepts and the slope of the budget constraint. (Place pizza on the horizontal axis) b. Assume Catherine...
Question 8 2 pts Kim has $23 per week in her entertainment budget. She splits her time between going to the movies and yoga classes. Each movie costs $8 while each yoga class costs $3. The total utility from each of these activities is set out in the table below. What's Kim's total utility maximizing point? That is, what combination of movies and yoga classes will maximize Kim's total utility? Movies Total Utility Yoga Classes Total Utility 0 0 0...
Is Alyssa currently maximizing her utility? 0 O No; she could buy less fruit and more cheese, not spend any more money, and be better off. 0 O Yes; the marginal utility she receives from her last pound of cheese equals that of her last pound of fruit. 0 O No; she likes fruit and cheese more than other goods, so she should buy more of both. No; she could buy more fruit and less cheese, not spend any more...
