. Praxilla, who lived in ancient Greece, 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 costs only one bronze coin. Praxilla has 18 bronze coins. 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 cucumbers and calculate…
5. Complements and substitutes Jake enjoys eating peanut butter sandwiches and drinking soda. He is particular about proportions, though: For every peanut butter sandwich he eats, he must drink exactly one glass of sods, and vice versa. Jake can purchase the peanut butter for his sandwiches in two jar sizes: 20 ounces and 40 ounces. Jake cares only about the total amount of peanut butter he has available and not at all about the jar size. In other words, he's just as happy with two 20-ounce jars as he is with one 40-ounce jar. In this scenario, peanut butter sandwiches and glasses of soda are Two possible bundles of peanut butter sandwiches and glasses of sods are shown on the following graph, labeled A and B.

Suppose that with a budget of $210, Fatima spends $126 on sushi and $84 on bagels when sushi costs $2 per piece and bagels cost $2 per bagel. Then, after the price of bagels falls to $1 per bagel. Instructions: Enter your answers as a whole number. How many pieces of sushi and how many bagels did Fatima consume before the price change? pieces of sushi and bagels At the new prices, how much money would it have cost Fatima to buy those same quantities (that is, the quantities that she consumed before the price change)? Given that it used to take Fatima's entire $210 to buy those quantities, how big is the income effect caused by the lower price of bagels?
