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

D) Pepsi is an Inferior good because it has a negative income elasticity

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

<h3>Analysis of the solutions </h3>

A) The total utility from purchasing 3 video games and 2 pepsis

marginal utility of 3 videos games = 12

marginal utility of 2 pepsi = 9

therefore total utility = 12 + 9 = 21

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

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

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

Given that :

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 positive

Bess [88]

Answer:

By increasing the amount and so do cell phone consumers, so the price reaches equilibrium.

Explanation:

The law of supply and demand says that if the supply increases, the price or demand may decrease, and if supply decreases, the price or demand may increase. And the reality is that today there is a great deal of supply and variety of cell phones with which a greater amount is acquired by consumers, bringing the price to its equilibrium.

The number of consumers who can afford a high-end smart phone is less, and in reality it does not affect the equilibrium price much, even due to the fact that several consumers purchase cell phones in rental or credit plans.
