Peter consumes two goods, food (F) and clothes (C). His utility
function is given by U (F, C) =FC^2. The price for one unit of food
is pF = 1€, while the price for one unit of clothes is pC = 0.5€
and Peter’s income is 120€.
A) Which market basket maximizes Peter’s utility under the
budget constraint?
B) Derive Peter’s individual demand curve of clothes.
C) How does Peter’s budget constraint change if the price of
clothes increases to...

Julio receives utility from consuming food (F) and clothing
(C) as given by the utility function U (F,C) = FC. In addition,
the price of food is $2per unit, the price of clothing is $6 per
unit, and Julio's weekly income is $50.
Suppose instead that Julio is consuming a bundle with more food
and less clothing than his utility maximizing bundle. Would this
marginal rate of substitution of food for clothing be greater than
or less than your answer...

Let U (F, C) = F C represent the consumer's utility function,
where F represents food and C represents clothing. Suppose the
consumer has income (M) of $1,200 , the price of food (PF) is $10
per unit, and the price of clothing (PC) is $20 per unit. Based on
this information, her optimal (or utility maximizing) consumption
bundle is:

Julie has preferences for food, f, and clothing, c, described by
a Cobb-Douglas utility function u(f, c) = f · c. Her marginal
utilities are MUf = c and MUc = f. Suppose that food costs $1 a
unit and that clothing costs $2 a unit. Julie has $12 to spend on
food and clothing.
a. Sketch Julie’s indifference curves corresponding to utility
levels U¯ = 12, U¯ = 18, and U¯ = 24. Using the graph (no algebra
yet!),...

Bob is deciding how much labour he should supply. He
gets utility from consumption of beer (given by C) and from leisure
time (given by L), which he spends hanging out with his friend
Doug. This utility is given by the following utility function: U(C,
L) = ln(C) + θ ln(L) where the value of θ was determined by your
student number and ln(C) denotes the natural logarithm of
consumption etc. Given this utility function, Bob’s marginal
utility from consumption...

Tamer derives utility from goods X and Y, according to
the following utility function: U(X,Y)= 3 X radical y . His budget
is $90 per period, the price of X is PX=$2, and the
price of Y is PY=$6.
1. Graph the indifference curve when U=

2. What is the Tamer’s MRS between goods X
and Y at the bundle (X=8 and Y=2 )? What does the value of MRS
means? (أحسب القيمة واكتب بالكلمات ماذا تعني القيمة)

Cesar earns $60/week while attending UIC and consumes two goods:
Beer (B) and Food (F). Beer costs $1/can and Food costs $3/lb.
Cesar has the utility function U(B,F) = 2BF (with B in cans, F in
lbs). This means his marginal utility from consuming beer is 2F and
the marginal utility of consuming food is 2B.
Question 3: The price of food drops to $1/lb. How much food does
Cesar now consume each week?
Question 5: What is the size...

Shaun spends all of his income on food and shelter. The price of
food is $50 and the price of shelter is $100. If Shaun’s marginal
utility of food is 4 and his marginal utility of shelter is 10, is
he maximizing his utility? Explain why or why not. If he is not
maximizing utility then how should he change his consumption
bundle?
