ceriuppose that Isaiah has a weekly fixed budget and spends it all on haircuts and ice cream. At his current combination arof consumption, the marginal utility of the last dollar spent on haircuts is greater than the marginal utility of the last dollar spent on ice cream. Has Isaiah maximized his utility? A C E Yes, because changing his current consumption combination will reduce his total utility B No, because he can increase his total utility by purchasing more haircuts and D fewer ice creams Yes, because he has purchased 2 goods in proportion so that he can get- the maximum utility from each Yes, because he purchased the maximum possible with a limited budget No, because he can increase his total utility by purchasing fewer haircuts and more ice creams
Vinny consumes tacos and chicken wings. To keep his utility constant, he must consume more tacos if he consumes fewer chicken wings. This means that O Vinny's indifference curve for tacos and chicken wings must have a negative slope. Vinny's marginal utility from each good must be constant along his convex indifference curves for tacos and chicken wings. O the prices Vinny pays for tacos and chicken wings are always the same. O Vinny's marginal rate of substitution must be constant along his indifference curves for tacos and chicken wings.

Question 5 Andrew is currently spending all his income on 2 goods, burgers and Pepsi. He buys burgers at 4 L.E. a unit, with a total utility of 1000 and a marginal utility of 24. He buys Pepsi at 1 L.E a unit with a total utility of 800 and a marginal utility of 18. In order of reach consumer equilibrium, he should consume: The same amount of burgers and Pepsi. More Pepsi but the same amount of burgers. More Pepsi and less burgers. More burgers but the same amount of Pepsi. More burgers and less Pepsi.

If we have money, we buy goods and services to satisfy our needs. In economics, thesatisfaction that we get from the consumption of goods and services is called utility. Usea utility graph to explain what happen to the utility when you keep on increasing thenumber of units consumed. Also explain what happens to the utility when you keep onincreasing the number of units consumed. Also explain what happens to the additionalutility (i.e. additional satisfaction) when you increase your consumption by one unit
