Credit Extra Homework #4 Answers: (1) ($1000) You get the following utility (see the table below). You have $60 to spend for a party. What combination of pizzas should you buy in order to maximize your utility? Number of pizzas purchased 1 2 3 4 5 ANSWER: Number of units purchased 1 2 3 4 5 Marginal Utility from Canyon Pizza ($8 large) 16 12 8 4 2 MU per dollar Marginal spent (Canyon Utility from Pizza) Pizza Hut ($12 large) 16/$8 = 2.0 24 12/$8 = 1.5 12 8/$8 = 1.0 8 4/$8 = 0.5 6 2/$8 = 0.25 4 MU per dollar spent (Pizza Hut) 24/$12 = 2.0 12/$12 = 1.0 8/$12 = 0.67 6/$12 = 0.50 4/$12 = 0.33 Marginal Utility from Canyon Pizza ($8 large) 16 12 8 4 2 Marginal Utility from Pizza Hut Pizza ($12 large) 24 12 8 6 4 You have $60 to spend so you try to get the highest MU per dollar spent. You do this by comparing the MU per dollar spent in the 3rd and 5th columns. Notice the values highlighted in BLUE. These values represent exactly $60 and they are also the highest MU per dollar spent (all of the values are 0.67 or higher in blue). The lower values in BLACK in the table are all 0.5 or less. So by purchasing 3 canyon pies and 3 pizza hut pies you will maximize your utility. (2) ($1000) Using the Economics in Movies the workbook, answer the following questions from Monty Python s The Meaning of Life (scene 12) clip: (a) Is it surprising to find Mr.Creosote at a fancy restaurant when he could have gone to a buffet and enjoyed all he wanted at a flat price? ANSWER: No, fancy restaurants charge more but the food has a higher marginal utility Mr. Creosote REALLY likes food so he values the experience of dining at a nice place. (b) Mr. Creosote has to vomit in order to eat more. Do you think that he is optimizing his consumption choices? ANSWER: The marginal benefit is low (it is just a small mint and he has already comsumed an enormous amount of food) and the marginal costs are very high (his stomach explodes) he is NOT OPTIMIZING (c) When should someone stop consuming food? (Hint: Think of the marginal principle we developed when discussing optimal behavior (in chapter 32) and also the perfection principle (in chapter 1)). ANSWER: When the MB = MC this is the rule for finding the optimal amount of an activity! Since the MC of eating more food at a nice restaurant is positive (it costs a lot of money) he should stop eating when the MB is no longer high enough to justify the expense.
