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?

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.

The care and patience with which the online Labor Economics expert at HwA guided me through the assignment topic was simply amazing. She was always ready with the solutions to my queries and incorporated any suggestions that I made into the Labor Economics Assignment essay. It was just the guidance I needed to write my Labor economics assignment.

I needed a PowerPoint presentation with speaker notes to be submitted along with the assignment essay for my MBA Marketing class. I was facing a huge time crunch and desperately needed help with making an engaging PowerPoint presentation that would highlight the key aspects of my assignment essay and speaker notes that would help me open up the possibility of direct communication with the audience. When I sent the request to HwA with the requirements they assigned me a PowerPoint presentation expert with years of actual experience in preparing marketing presentations for his job. Needless to say I got an A in my assignment and topped the class.

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
