1) Donald derives utility from only two goods, carrots (Qc) and donuts (Qd). His utility function is as follows: U(Qc,Qd) = (Qc)(Qd) The marginal utility that Donald receives from carrots (MUc) and donuts (MUd) are given as follows: MUc = Qd MUd = Qc Donald has an income (I) of $120 and the price of carrots (Pc) and donuts (Pd) are both $1. a. What is Donald's budget line? b. What is Donald's income-consumption curve? c. What quantities of Qc and Qd will maximize Donald's utility? d. Holding Donald's income and Pd constant at $120 and $1 respectively, what is Donald's demand curve for carrots? e. Suppose that a tax of $1 per unit is levied on donuts. How will this alter Donald's utility maximizing market basket of goods? f. Suppose that, instead of the per unit tax in (e), a lump sum tax of the same dollar amount is levied on Donald. What is Donald's utility maximizing market basket? g. The taxes in (e) and (f) both collect exactly the same amount of revenue for the government, which of the two taxes would Donald prefer? Show your answer numerically and explain why Donald prefers the per unit tax over the lump sum tax, or vice versa, or why he is indifferent between the two taxes. 2) The wheat market is perfectly competitive, and the market supply and demand curves are given by the following equations: QD = 20,000,000 - 4,000,000P QS = 7,000,000 + 2,500,000P, where QD and QS are quantity demanded and quantity supplied measured in bushels, and per bushel. a. Determine consumer surplus at the equilibrium price and quantity. b. Assume that the government has imposed a price floor at $2.25 per bushel and agrees to buy any resulting excess supply. How many bushels of wheat will the government be forced to buy? Determine consumer surplus with the price floor. 3) The demand for telephone wire can be expressed as: Q = 6000 - 1,500P, where Q represents units, in pounds per day, and P represents price, in dollars per pound. Determine the price elasticity of demand at per pound.
