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?

The tutoring that I received was also substantiated by the finance tutor with the help of finance text books and notes. The notes had proper referencing which helped me write my finance assignment so much better. Could not have asked for better online finance tutoring and am definitely going to recommend your services to my friends and juniors.

I was really stuck with the analysis of a work of William Faulkner in the final year of my course and then I approached HwA and got excellent response. Later that year, I also took their help for writing the book review of Booker’s Prize winning novel “God of Small Things†for my college.

I am doing a long-distance executive marketing course from a Sydney based University and I really don’t find much time to devote for my marketing assignments. Thankfully, I have come across HwA, and they really know how to deal with these questions. The experts are well equipped and helped me get good grades in all my assignments so far.

I am pursuing my masters in finance management from New Zealand. Even though I had an idea of most of the concepts of finance from my undergrad days, I was still looking for some guidance and help with my finance assignment. I had great results with the New Zealand finance assignment expert during my undergraduate days and let me tell you that I got the exact same quality of work for my masters assignments also

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
