Problem on Marginal utility
Question:
Ambrose consumes two goods, peanuts (x1 ) and a composite good (x2). He has a utility function U = 4 √x1 + x2. This means his MU1 = 2/ √x1 and his MU2 = 1 . The current prices are p1 = 0.5 per kilogram and. p2 = 1. His budget is $20 per month.
(a) Write down Ambrose’s budget constraint?
(b) What are the optimal quantities of peanuts and x2 for Ambrose to consume? How much utility will he get?
(c) Suppose that rationing by the government means that Ambrose is allowed to purchase no more that 12 kilograms of peanuts per month. Now how much x1 and x2 will Morgan consume? Show the effect of rationing using a diagram. Be sure to label you diagram completely.
(d) Suppose that instead of rationing peanuts the government decides to tax them. The tax is $0.5 per kilogram. How much x1 and x2 will Morgan consume? How much utility will he get?
(e) How much would Ambrose need to be compensated to make him as well of as if peanuts had not been taxed?

I was absolutely lost when I had to write the assignment on how to calculate the energy of singlet diradicals. I needed the assignment to not only mention the method of calculating but also explain the procedure with the help of relevant examples. At HwA this is exactly what I received when I submitted the request for my chemical equilibrium assignment question. I was so impressed with the work that I signed up for their package for the whole semester.

My professor had mandated that the class had to use legal case studies as supporting examples for the constitutional law assignment essay. Frankly I did not know where I would get the required material. My problem was solved by the experts at TheReliableTutor who themselves are practicing constitutional lawyers and could easily incorporate the requisite examples and help me write my constitutional law assignment.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
