Utility Function - Problem
Question:
In Vancouver the Salvation Army encourages people to make food voucher donations to panhandlers instead of simply giving them cash. You can buy a food voucher for $5 and give it to a panhandler who can use it to purchase food. The Salvation Army says it’s a way to ensure that a gift actually goes to food, rather than alcohol or drugs. Suppose a panhandler (PH) consumes two goods: food (F) and drugs (D). The PH has a utility function u = F0D1. This can also be written as u= D. Answer and explain the following using a diagram which is completely labeled.
(a) If drugs and food each cost $1 per unit, and the PH has $20 is cash, how much D and F will he consume?
(b) If instead the PH has $10 in cash and $10 in food vouchers, how much D and F will he consume?
(c) Is the PH better off with $20 in cash, or with $10 in cash and $10 in food vouchers.?

The timely and professional manner in which my economics thesis writing expert interacted with me throughout the process really impressed me. The knowledge and research of the expert on the topic that I had selected was absolutely flawless and really in-depth. My professor was very happy with the proposal and the consequent thesis paper. Thank you HwA!

I had a very bad calculus background and for that reason I was unable to deal with the difficult sums given in the process control assignments. However, luckily for me I came across HwA and since then, never had to worry about these assignments any more.

I was a bad place with my electricity assignment and was not sure how to apply the laws to get the numerical assignments done. Then I came in contact of one of my seniors in my college who told me about HwA. The service I got here was awesome and more than giving me a A in my assignment they also treated me with respect and helped me learn a lot.

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
