The first graph presents the utility maximizing combinations of bread and brie that Hayden chooses when the price of bread is $1.00 per loaf and the price of brie is either $4.00 or $6.00 per wheel. The second graph shows Hayden's demand curve for brie, based on those utility maximizing points. What are the specific prices and quantities of brie associated with points A and B on Hayden's demand curve?

Suppose Kate has a weekly budget of $24 to spend on seltzer water and peanut butter. Seltzer water is priced at $2 per case, and peanut butter is priced at $6 per jar. If Kate spends her entire $24 on seltzer water, she can buy jars of peanut butter. Use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Kate's budget constraint on the following graph. Next, use the orange point (square symbol) to shade the area that represents combinations of seltzer water and peanut butter that are affordable for Kate. Finally, place the black point (plus symbol) on the point on Kate's budget constraint that corresponds to a scenario in which Kate spends $12 on each good.

Suppose that you are trying to determine whether or not your friend Rajiv views a pound of cheese as a necessity, a luxury, or in between a necessity and a luxury. Rajiv has a weekly income of s50 to spend on either cheese or other consumption. The price of cheese is $10 per pound, and the vertical axis is treated as a composite good representing dollars spent on other consumption. On the following graph, use the blue line (circle symbol) to graph Rajiy's budget constraint (BC). Then, place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the best bundle in this case. Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes. 100 90 вс, 70 Initial Best Bundle 00 50 40 BC, 30 20 New Best Bundie 10 2. 6. 10 CHEESE (Pounds per week) Now, suppose that Rajiv's weekly income increases to $100.

Imagine, we are in ancient Greece. Praxilla lives in Athens and 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 first 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 cucumbers consumed. A poem costs three bronze coins, but a cucumber only costs one bronze coin. Praxilla has 18 bronze coins. 1. Sketch Praxilla’s 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…
Suppose Jane has $100$⁢100 and is going to have a birthday party. She wants to order pizza and sushi. The price of a pizza is $6$⁢6, and the price of one package of sushi is $8$⁢8. Considering that she decided to spend $60$⁢60 on pizza, how many pizzas and packages of sushi can Jane order? Enter your answer in the box below and round down to the nearest whole number if necessary; rounding your answer up may cause Jane to exceed her budget.
The table details the total utility that J.J. gets from going to see basketball and hockey games during a month. J.J. had $120 to spend. Calculate the marginal utility and the marginal utility per dollar spent for both basketball and hockey given that the price is $20 and $30 respectively. Based on your calculations: how many basketball games would he attend? how many hockey games would he attend?
