Robbin likes a beverage (Coca-Cola, of course) with her wings Robbin likes a beverage (Coca-Cola, of course) with her wings. There is only one place to buy this combination, Wings ‘n’ Suds. Using the following graph, let the number of Coco-Colas be on the vertical axis and the number of wings be on the horizontal axis. Label the graph. (a) Robbin has her choice of getting 12 bottles of Coca-Cola and 3 wings or 3 bottles of Coca-Cola and 12 wings, free of charge. Which bundle will she choose? Why? (b) Which would Robbin choose if she could have either 12 bottles of Coca-Cola and 6 wings or 6 bottles of Coca-Cola and 9 wings? (c) Calculate the MRS between points A and E.

Given the following set of indifference curves, calculate the marginal rate of substitution between the following: Points A and B. Interpret this measure. Which combination yields the highest level of satisfaction? Circle the correct answer(s). (i) 7 tacos, 1 hamburger (iii) 5 tacos, 7 hamburgers (ii) 2 tacos, 5 hamburgers (iv) 7 tacos, 5 hamburgers

Assume you have interest in only two goods: cheap food and environmental quality. That is, these goods are the only ones that provide utility to you. Consider the following graph: Let point A correspond to 80 units of cheap food and 20 units of environmental quality. Let point B correspond to 50 units of cheap food and 30 units of environmental quality. Label the axis. What is the technical name of the curve mentioned earlier? Calculate how many units of cheap food you are willing to give up to receive one more unit of environmental quality in order to maintain the same level of satisfaction.

According to the following chart, which bundle is preferred? Number of Wings Bottles of Coca-Cola Total Utility A 3 18 B 6 4 48 C 9 2 36 D 12 1 24
