For the following sets of goods, draw two indifference curves (IC1 and IC2 where IC2 yields a higher level of utility than IC1). Draw each graph so that the quantity of the first good is on the horizonal axis and identify utility functions for part a),b) and c (show all work)
a) Sugar and Nutrasweet. The consumer likes them equally well (indifferent between 1 spoon of sugar and 1 spoon of Nutrasweet)
b) Peanut butter and Jelly, The consumer always uses exactly 2 ounces of peanut butter for every ounce of Jelly.
c) Nuts and Ice cream, The consumer neither likes nor dislikes nuts, but likes ice cream
For the following sets of goods, draw two indifference curves (IC1 and IC2 where IC2 yields...
Draw indifference curves to represent the following consumer
preferences. For each set of preferences draw two indifference
curves U1 and U2 such like, U1 > U2
e) I like peanut butter and jelly, and have a diminishing marginal rate of substitution. f) I like to consume exactly 5 ounces of peanut butter and 5 ounces of jelly. The further away I get from this point, in any direction, the less happy I am.
For each of the following utility functions, draw an indifference map with 3 indifference curves. Be sure to label your axes, and label your curves as IC1, IC2, and IC3, where U1 < U2 < U3. (5 points each) a. ?(?, ?) = 3? + 5? b. ?(?, ?) = ? 2 + ? 2 c. ?(?, ?) = −? 2 + ln(?) d. ?(?, ?) = min(3?, 5?)

For each of the following utility functions, draw an indifference map with 3 in curves. Be sure to label your axes, and label your curves as IC1, IC2, and ICs, where difference 1 U2 U (X,Y)=3X+5Y U3. (5 points each) a. U(X, Y) U(X, Y) -X2 + ln(Y) min(3X,5Y) c. d.
Draw some indifference curves to represent the following preferences.(Please draw at least two indifference curves in one graph and specify which indifference curve has bundles that are more preferable) (a) [2 points] Alex likes both cake and smoothie. For both the commodity, he thinks that the more, the better. And he thinks a piece of cake is as good as a glass of smoothie.(b)Bobby likes chocolate but he doesn’t care about ice cream. And he thinks that the more chocolate...

b 2. Draw indifference curves that represent the follow- ing individuals' preferences for hamburgers and soft drinks. Indicate the direction in which the individuals' satisfaction (or utility) is increasing. a. Joe has convex indifference curves and dislikes both hamburgers and soft drinks. b. Jane loves hamburgers and dislikes soft drinks. If she is served a soft drink, she will pour it down the drain rather than drink it. c. Bob loves hamburgers and dislikes soft drinks. If he is...
5. Draw out examples of each of the following indifference curves: imperfect substitutes, perfect substitutes, and perfect complements. 6. Jody enjoys having exactly 1 teaspoon of sugar with every cup of coffee she has. What does this say about her indifference curves between the two goods? What happens to her utility level when she is given 5 teaspoons of sugar with one coffee? (Just an explanation) 7. Jay’s Utility function is given by U(x,z) = 3x10.2 x20.8 and P1=$2 and...
Draw indifference curves to represent the following types of consumer preferences (put Apples on the x-axis and Oranges on the y-axis) Make sure to include arrows to indicate direction of preference. (Hint: Start with a bundle (say 10 units of each), and think about other bundles that give the consumer the same utility.) a) I like apples, but dislike Oranges. b) I dislike Apples, and dislike Oranges. c) I neither like nor dislike Apples, but dislike Oranges. d) I like...
