Solution
-
The slope of the indifference curve is the ratio of the marginal utility of ice cream cones to the marginal utility of ice cream sandwiches.
-
At point A, the slope of the indifference curve is -0.67.
-
If the price of an ice cream cone is 3.
-
If the price of a hot dog is 300.
-
Jason is not maximizing his utility at point C because his marginal utility per dollar spent on the last sandwich is less than his marginal utility per dollar spent on his last hot dog.
-
Jason is not maximizing his utility at point D because his marginal utility per dollar spent on the last sandwich is less than his marginal utility per dollar spent on his last hot dog.
-
We derive the demand curve for X from indifference curves and a budget constraint by changing the price of X.
-
Assuming the properties of normal indifference curves, a consumer will maximize his utility where his indifference curve is just tangent to his budget constraint.
-
An indifference curve is a set of points, each point representing a combination of two goods, all of which represent the same total utility.
