Consider a hypothetical consumer named Hayden who is shopping for bread and brie. The graph with bread and brie on the axes presents the utility-maximizing combinations of bread and brie that Hayden chooses when the price of bread is $1.00 per loaf and the price of brie is $4.00 and $6.00 per wheel, respectively. The other graph shows Hayden's demand curve for brie. The two points and associated values in the graph for bread and brie combinations correspond to points A and B in the graph of the demand curve for brie. What are the specific prices and quantities of brie associated with points A and B on Hayden's demand curve? price of brie at point A: $ price of brie at point B: $

A college student has two options for meals: eating at the dining hall for $6 per meal, or eating a Cup O' Soup for \$1.50 per meal. Her weekly food budget is \$60. a. Draw the budget constraint showing the trade-off between dining hall meals and Cups O' Soup. Assuming that she spends equal amounts on both goods, draw an indifference curve showing the optimum choice. Label the optimum as point A. b. Suppose the price of a Cup O' Soup now rises to \$2. Using your diagram from part (a), show the consequences of this change in price. Assume that our student now spends only 30 percent of her income on dining hall meals. Label the new optimum as point B. c. What happened to the quantity of Cups O' Soup consumed as a result of this price change? What does this result say about the income and substitution effects? Explain. d. Use points A and B to draw a demand curve for Cup O' Soup. What is this type of good called?

Bus Econ 2.6.8 A particular computing company finds that its weekly profit, in dollars, from the production and sale of x laptop computers is P(x) = -0.003x^3 - 0.3x^2 + 700x - 900. Currently the company builds and sells 9 laptops weekly. a) What is the current weekly profit? b) How much profit would be lost if production and sales dropped to 8 laptops weekly? c) What is the marginal profit when x = 9? d) Use the answer from part (a)-(c) to estimate the profit resulting from the production and sale of 10 laptops weekly. a) The current weekly profit is $ 5373.51. (Round to the nearest cent as needed.) b) The decrease in profit is $ 694.25. (Round to the nearest cent as needed.) c) The marginal profit when x = 9 is $ . (Round to the nearest cent as needed.)
