- If a good is free, when will a consumer stop wanting to buy the good? Once the total utility equals zero At the quantity where marginal utility is at its maximum Once the marginal utility equals zero When marginal utility is negative Once the marginal utility equals total utility What is used to measure a consumer's entire satisfaction or happiness of a choice? Total utility Marginal cost Marginal utility Total Revenue Total costs Which of the following best defines the term utility as it is used by economists? when a market allocates resources in a way that maximizes consumer and producer surplusTo maximize total utility, consumers will always choose the marginal unit of the good that yields the most marginal utility per price. True FalseProblem 1: Suppose you have an income of $100 to spend on two goods. Good 1 costs $25 per unit. Good 2 costs $10 per unit. a) Write down your budget constraint. b) If you spend all your income on Good 1, how much can you buy? c) If you spend all your income on Good 2, how much can you buy? d) Graph your budget line. Please make sure your line passes through the appropriate points. Also, be sure to label the axes. I e) Suppose the price of Good 2 falls to $5 per unit. Draw the new budget line on the graph in Part d). f) Suppose your income falls to $75 to spend on the two goods, where the price of Good 1 is $25 and the price of Good 2 is $5 per unit. Draw the new budget line on the graph in part d). g) Highlight the area on your graph representing bundles you could afford in your budget equation from part a) that you cannot afford with the budget line in part f). h) Highlight the area on your graph representing bundles you can afford in your budget equation from part f) that you could…
- What is utility? the satisfaction a person gets from the consumption of a good a measure of production efficiency the difference between what a consumer is willing and able to pay for a good a measure of the amount of "need" people have for a goodTo reach consumer equilibrium, which of the following consumption choices must be made? The total utility per dollar spent on Good X must equal the total utility per dollar spent on Good Y. The total utility of Good X must equal the total utility of Good Y. The marginal utility of Good X must equal the marginal utility of Good Y. The marginal utility per dollar spent on Good X must equal the marginal utility per dollar spent on Good Y.You are choosing between two goods, X and Y, and your marginal utility from each is as shown in the following table. If your income is $9 and the prices of X and Y are $2 and $1, respectively, what quantities of each will you purchase to maximize utility? What total utility will you realize? Assume that, other things remaining unchanged, the price of X falls to $1. What quantities of X and Y will you now purchase? Using the two prices and quantities for X, derive a demand schedule (a table showing prices and quantities demanded) for X.
- You have just opened a new grocery store. Every item you carry is generic (generic beer, generic bread, generic chicken, etc.). You recently read an article in the Wall Street Journal reporting that the price of recreation is expected to increase by 15 percent. How will this affect your store’s sales of generic food products?(9) What determines the utility an individual receives from consuming a good? Select one: a. The individual’s own preferences. b. The demand and supply curves for that good. c. The producers conducting customer feedback surveys of that good and the feedback provided. (10) Denzel bought headphones two months ago, Solo2 Beats by Dre, for $130. He gives them to his little brother and goes online to buy another for himself but they are now $160. What is the percentage change in the headphone’s price? Select one: a. 23% b. 30% c. 21%Who determines how much utility an individual will receive from consuming a good?
- All goods have diminishing marginal utility, but for some goods (or activities), marginal utility falls quickly as you consume more, while for others, marginal utility falls slowly. Can you think of examples of goods that you continue to enjoy a great deal as your consumption increases? Can you think of goods for which your marginal utility decreases rapidly?Q.1.15 The marginal utility of a good or service declines as one more unit is consumed because: (a) supply slopes upwards.(b) consumers are constrained by income. (c) of the law of diminishing marginal utility. (d) prices move with demand.QUESTION 12 The relationship between the marginal utility that George gets from eating a bag of cookies and the number of bags he eats per month is as follows: Bags of Cookies Marginal Utility 1 2 3 4 5 6 20 16 12 8 4 0 George receives 2 units of utility from the last dollar spent on each of the other goods he consumes. If cookies cost $4 per bag, how many bags of cookies will he consume per month if he maximizes utility?
