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.

- Consider Justin who makes $1,400 per week and just won a ‘set for life’ lottery ticket whichinvolves a fortnightly payment of $10,000 for 20 years. Currently he works 35 hours per week. Nowdo the following: • Illustrate the effect of the lottery win on Justins budget constraint using a fully labelleddiagram where i) the horizontal axis represents the hours of free time per week, and ii) thevertical axis represents Justins weekly consumption. • Illustrate on the same diagram Justins optimal decisions before and after the lottery winalong with his indifference curves. • Based on your diagram, discuss whether Justin will quit his job.. An individual's utility function is given by u = 1000 x, + 450 x. + 5x, x. - 2x-x where x, is the amount of leisure measured in hours per week and x,is income earned measured in cedis per week. Det er mine the value of the marginal utilities, when x, = 138 and x= 500. Hence est imate the change in utility if the individual works for an extra hour, which increa ses earned income by GH¢ 15 per week. Does the law of diminishing ut ility hold for this function? %3DE D C B In the graph above, the shift from curve 'B' to curve 'C' can be attributed to the- O Rising cost of raw materials O Price of a complimentary good decreasing O break-through of new technology O decline in average annual income

According to this optimality condition, what must be the ratio of Films toBooks in an optimal consumption bundle? 2. Given your answer to Q9, what must be the household’s optimal consumption of F & Bgiven their income (m)? 3. Suppose that the price of Films changed from $2 to $4. What would need to happen tothe MRS according to the optimality condition in Q9 if the household wanted to keepmaximizing its utility?For this question, assume that indifference curves are strictly convex, consumption andleisure are normal goods, and the optimal amounts of consumption, leisure, and labor arealways positive. A wage increase ______. (SE = substitution effect; IE = income effect)(a) increases labor supply via the SE and decreases labor supply via the IE(b) decreases labor supply via the SE and decreases labor supply via the IE(c) increases labor supply via the SE and increases labor supply via the IE(d) decreases labor supply via the SE and increases labor supply via the IE(e) Can’t tell without knowing the utility functionJuan is currently working in a job that pays $25 an hour and he chooses to work 8 hours per day. Assume that Juan can work a maximum of 16 hours a day, and he has complete flexibility in how many hours a day he works. Illustrate Juan’s budget constraint and his optimal choice of consumption and leisure. What is the slope of his budget constraint? What does this slope represent? (As on any graph you draw, make sure that you label the axes, the intercepts and the optimal choice.) Juan begins receiving a government transfer payment of $100 per day. Add his new budget constraint to your graph in (a) and show his new optimal choice. Does he choose more or less consumption? More or less leisure? Explain why for both goods. The government imposes a tax of 25% on Juan’s earnings from work and increases his government transfer to $150 per day (the government transfer payment is not taxed.) Redraw the budget constraint from part (b) (omit the part (a) budget constraint), and add a new budget…
