Carol needs to decide how to spend her wealth on sh and chicken.For Carol, 1 lb of sh is equivalent to 2 lb of chicken. Her preferences2Intermediate Microeconomics NYUAD, Spring 2023can be represented by the utility functionu(x; y) = 2x + ywhere x is the quantity of sh (in lbs) and y is the quantity of chicken(in lbs). The consumption set is R2+.(a) Draw two typical indi erence curves for Carol, one correspondingto a utility level of u1 and one corresponding to a utility level u2,where 0 < u1 < u2. Make sure you label the slope of the indif-ference curves and the intercepts with the horizontal and verticalaxes.(b) Suppose the price of sh is $1:5 per lb and and the price of chickenis $1 per lb. Carol has $20 to spend on sh and chicken.(i) Draw Carol's budget set, labeling the slope and the interceptpoints clearly.(ii) How much sh and chicken will Carol choose to purchase?

Amadea spends all her income on pizza,chocolate milk, and music streams. The price of pizza is $4 per slice and price ofchocolate milk $2 per bottle. At Amadea's current consumption level, her marginalutility for pizza is 50 units per slice and for music 100 units per stream. Assuming thatAmadea is a utility maximizer, how much is (a)her current marginal utility for a bottleof chocolate milk, and (b) the price of streams she buys. Show your work. [Hint: Ch 6:Utility-maximizing formula)
John likes Coca-Cola. After consuming one Coke, John has a total utility of 10 utils. After two Cokes, he has a total utility of 25 utils. After three Cokes, he has a total utility of 50 utils. Does John show diminishing marginal utility for Coke, or does he show increasing marginal utility for Coke? Supposethat John has $3 in his pocket. If Cokes cost $1 each and John is willing to spend one of his dollars on purchasing a first can of Coke, would he spend his second dollar on a Coke, too? What about the third dollar? If John’s marginal utility for Coke keeps on increasing no matter how many Cokes he drinks, would it be fair to say that he is addicted to Coke?

Mylie’s total utility from singing the same song over andover is 50 utils after one repetition, 90 utils after tworepetitions, 70 utils after three repetitions, 20 utils afterfour repetitions, 250 utils after five repetitions, and 2200utils after six repetitions. Write down her marginal utilityfor each repetition. Once Mylie’s total utility beginsto decrease, does each additional singing of the songhurt more than the previous one or less than the previousone?
Jeremy is deeply in love with Jasmine. Jasmine lives where cell phone coverage is poor, so he can either call her on the land-line phone for five cents per minute or he can drive to see her, at a roundâ€”trip cost of 2 in gasoline money. He has a total of 10 per week to spend on staying in touch. To make his preferred choice, Jeremy uses a handy utilimometer that measures his total utility from personal visits and from phone minutes. Using the values in Table 6.6, figure out the points 011 Jeremys consumption choice budget constraint (it may be helpful to do a sketch) and identify his utility-maximizing point.
Praxilla, who lived in ancient Greece, derives utility from reading poems and from eating cucumbers. Praxilla gets 30 units of marginal utility from her first poem 27 units of marginal utility from her second poem 24 units of marginal utility from her third poem, and so on, with marginal utility declining by three units for each additional poem. Praxilla gets six units of marginal utility for each of her next three cucumbers consumed, five units of marginal utility for each of her next three cucumbers consumed, four units of marginal utility for each of the following three cucumbers consumed, and so on, with marginal utility declining by one for every three cucumber consumed. A poem costs three bronze coins hut a cucumber costs only one bronze coin. Praxilla has 18 bronze coins. Sketch Praxillas budget set between poems and cucumbers, placing poems on the vertical axis and cucumbers on the horizontal axis. Start off with the choice of zero poems and 18 cucumbers, and calculate the changes in marginal utility of moving along the budget line to the next choice of one poem and 15 cucumbers. Using this step-by-step process based on marginal utility, create a table and identify Praxillas utilityâ€”maximizing choice. Compare the marginal utility of the two goods and the relative prices at the optimal choice to see if the expected relationship holds. Hint: Label the table columns: 1) Choice, 2} Marginal Gain from More Poems, 3) Marginal Loss from Fewer Cucumbers, 4) Overall Gain or Loss, 5) Is the previous choice Optimal? Label the table rows: 1) 0 Poems and 18 Cucumbers, 2) 1 Poem and 15 cucumbers, 3) 2 Poems and 12 cucumbers, 4) 3 Poems and 9 Cucumbers, 5) 4 Poems and 6 cucumbers 6) 5 Poems and 3 Cucumbers, 7) 6 Poems and 0 Cucumbers.
Robinson Crusoe lives in an island. There are onlytwo food sources in this island: coconut and berries. There is no money in the island but Robinsonuses his time to collect coconuts and berries. He sleeps 8 hours in a day. Collecting a coconut takes2 hours. Picking a pound of berries takes one hour. 1. Considering the food collection times as the prices in the island, write the budget line equationand draw Robinson’s budget line graphically. Specify the intercepts and the slope in the budgetline on the graph.Robinson falls from coconut tree and injures his leg. After the injury collecting coconut takes longer.He can only collect a coconut in 4 hours, but he can still pick berries at the same pace as before. 2. What happens to Robinson’s budget line? Show on the graph. Robinson’s injury makes him more sleepy. Now he sleeps 12 hours in a day. 3. What happens to Robinson’s budget line? Show on the graph.Two weeks after the injury, Robinson’s leg is slightly better, and he sleeps 8 hours…
