- 2. What does it mean that preferences are complete? Now would the real-life implica- tions of this assumption look like?4 Emily goes camping on the weekend and eats marshmallows (M) and crackers (C) there. She wants to match 1 marshmallow with 2 crackers, but does not eat in different proportion (i.e., perfect com- plement). The price of a marshmallow is 10 cents and the price of a cracker is 5 cents, and she spend up to $3 in total. a) Write down a utility function which represents Emily's preferences over marshmallows and crackers. b) How many marshmallows and crackers is she going to consume? (Hint: the first-order conditions will not help; draw the budget constraint and the indifference curves and look at the highest one that intersect the budget constraint). c) What is the exact value of Emily's indirect utility?1) Suppose that Abel and Eden spend their incomes on two goods, food (F) and clothing (C).Abel’s preferences are represented by the utility function U(F,C)=10FC, while Eden’spreferences are represented by the utility function U(F,C)= 0.20F2C2A) With food on the horizontal axis and clothing on the vertical axis, identify on a graph theset of points that give Abel the same level of utility as the bundle (10, 5). Do the same forEden on a separate graph.B) On the same two graphs, identify the set of bundles that give Abel and Eden the samelevel of utility as the bundle (15, 8).C) Do you think Abel and Eden have the same preferences or different preferences?

- Tony is throwing a party at his Fraternity and is trying to choose what booze to buy. A bottle of vodka has three times the alcohol as a six-pack of beer. Assume that Tony only cares about the total amount of alcohol in his basket. (use vodka on the X-axis and beer measured in six-pack on the Y-axis) a) Devise a utility function to represent these preferences. b) Suppose a bottle of vodka costs $40, a six-pack of beer costs $10, and the budget is $200. Write the budget constraint. c) Solve Tony’s utility maximization problem and find the optimal combination. d) Suppose that a bottle of vodka cost has increased to $50. What will be his new optimal combination.1. Is it impossible for two indifference curves to intersect one another? why? 2. What does it mean that preferences are complete? Now would the real-life implica- tions of this assumption look like?I am unsure the direction the utility functions would go in , with this specific scenario
- Q19 Let's assume that Justin Trudeau, who lives in Ottawa, is purchasing corn (C) and dandelion (D) in utility-maximizing amounts. If the price of corn (C) is $4 and the price of dandelion (D) is $2, then: Multiple Choice the marginal utility of dandelion is the same as that of corn. Justin Trudeau will buy only corn. the marginal utility of corn is twice that of dandelion. the marginal utility of corn is four times that of dandelion. the marginal utility of dandelion is twice that of corn.Suppose Rosie's marginal utility from attending her 5th Atlanta Braves game was 40 and the marginal utility from attending her 1st Taylor Swift concert was 200. Assume that the price of a Braves ticket is $20 and the price of a Taylor Swift ticket is $120. Which of the following would be TRUE? 1) Rosie would attend more Taylor Swift concerts and fewer Braves games. 2) Rosie would attend more Braves games and fewer Taylor Swift concerts. 3) Rosie would not alter her behavior. 4) Rosie would attend less of both Braves games and Taylor Swift concerts.2. Eren's two main hobbies are taking vacations overseas (V) and eating expensive meals (M). His utility function is given as: U(V,M) = V²M Last year, the average price of taking a vacation overseas was US$200 and the average price of an expensive meal is $50. However, due to supply problems in Onions, the average price of an expensive meal rose to $75. The average price of a vacation did not change. His income, which is $1500, did not change. a. b. C. Calculate the change in consumer surplus from consuming the expensive meals considering the price change (Hint: you need to compare his optimal consumption bundle before and after the price change to get the change in CS). Suppose that the Department of Welfare wants to know how much should be given to Eren to offset his change un utility due to the price increase of an expensive meal. Calculate the compensative variation (CV). Calculate for the equivalent variation (EV) for the price change.

Suppose you are considering to make a decent holiday dinner. In this year, to be creative, you are thinking to put Copper River Salmon from Alaska (fillet) and fresh Atlantic Lobsters from Maine as entrée on the table. Use the information given, to finish the questions below. (1) The table following provides you total utility (U) and marginal (MU) from consuming Salmon and Lobster. Suppose your total utility of Salmon consumption (U1) is a function of the units (Q as pound or lbs.) of salmon consumed, as U1 =. =/400Q. Similarly, your total utility of Lobster (U2) has the form as units (Q as lbs.) of lobster consumed, which is U2 = /36Q + 40. Now fill the empty spots in the table using the information given.

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? Suppose that 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? *use tables and/or graphs if possible, please original work
