- Who determines how much utility an individual will receive from consuming a good?The rules of politics are not always the same as the rules of economics. In discussions of setting budgets for government agencies, there is a strategy called closing the Washington Monument. When an agency faces the unwelcome prospect of a budget cut, it may decide to close a high-visibility attraction enjoyed by many people (like the Washington Monument). Explain in terms of diminishing marginal utility why the Washington Monument strategy is So misleading. Hint: If you are really trying to make the best of a budget cut, should you cut the items in your budget with tile highest marginal utility or line lowest marginal utility? Does the Washington Monument strategy cut the items with the highest marginal utility or line lowest marginal utility?Jeremy is deeply in love with Jasmine. Jasmine lives where cell phone coverage is poor, so he can either call her on the land-line phone for five cents per minute or he can drive to see her, at a round—trip cost of 2 in gasoline money. He has a total of 10 per week to spend on staying in touch. To make his preferred choice, Jeremy uses a handy utilimometer that measures his total utility from personal visits and from phone minutes. Using the values in Table 6.6, figure out the points 011 Jeremys consumption choice budget constraint (it may be helpful to do a sketch) and identify his utility-maximizing point.

- Explain the difference between a positive and a negative network externality. A network externality for a good is positive if O A. the substitution effect of a price change is larger than the income effect, but a network externality is negative if the income effect is larger than the substitution effect. B. consumption by others decreases a typical consumer's marginal utility from consuming the good, but a network extemality is negative if consumption by others increases a typical consumer's marginal utility from the good. c. the price is lower the more people own it, but a network externality is negative if the price is lower the fewer people own it. D. the quantity demanded is higher the more people own it, but a network externality is negative if the quantity demanded is lower the more people own it.
