A) Oscar's Total utility from purchasing 3 video games and 2 pepsis = 21

B) The quantity of video games and Pepsi maximizes Oscar’s utility = 2 video games and 5 Pepsi

C) When the price of Coca cola drops :   Oscars' demand for pepsi will drop

D) Pepsi is an <u>Inferior good </u>because it has a negative income elasticity

E) The cross-price elasticity for video games and computer equipment  is : <u>Positive</u>

<h3>Analysis of the solutions </h3>

<u>A) The total utility from purchasing 3 video games and 2 pepsis</u>

marginal utility of 3 videos games = 12

marginal utility of 2 pepsi = 9

therefore total utility = 12 + 9 = 21

<u></u>

<u>B) </u><u>The </u><u>quantity </u><u>of video games and Pepsi maximizes Oscar’s utility</u>

The quantity of video games with the maximum utility ( 20 ) = 1

The quantity of video games with the maximum utility ( 10 ) =  1

<u>Given that :</u>

Oscars weekly income = $20

price of video game = $5

price of pepsi = $2

After the first purchase of video games and pepsi

$20 - $7 = $13

after the next purchase

$13 - $7 = $6

The balance $6 will purchase 3 more pepsi

Therefore the quantity of Video games to be purchased = 2 ( $10 )  (i.e.  15 utility )

Quantity of Pepsi to be purchased = 5 ( $10 ) ( i.e. 6 utility )

C) When the price of Coca cola drops Oscars' demand for Pepsi will drop as Coca cola is a competitor/superior  product.

D) Pepsi is an inferior good

E) The cross price elasticity for video games and computer equipment is <u>positive </u>

This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.  

Stemming from the urban overload hypothesis, consider what you would do in the following situation. You have just run over a nail with your car during a long road trip, but luckily you have run-flat tires and can drive up to fifty miles before your tire will deflate. Based on what you know from the urban overload hypothesis, where should you drive to if you were going to seek help from strangers for your tire?

A. the nearest major city

B. the nearest moderately sized city

C. a completely deserted road

D. a small, rural town

Answer: D. a small, rural town

Explanation:

The urban overload hypothesis, developed by Milgram, states that people living in big cities are continually exposed to so many stimuli from the city environment that it frequently grows to be too much for them to process it all properly, so it´s likely they will keep to themselves to avoid being overwhelmed.

According to this theory, the best chances of getting strangers to help us, are found in a small, rural town, rather than in a major city.
