John gets a weekly allowance of $20 from his parents. The only thing he has a real interest in buying is a big slice of pizza af

ter school for $2 per slice. Below shows his marginal utility for each life consumed (see image).
a) What is the optimal quantity of pizza slices for John to buy? Explain. (For now, completely ignore the funnel cake column).

b) If John purchased 8 slices, what total utility would he enjoy?

c) The school starts selling funnel cakes for $4, which John discovers offers the marginal utility per cake shown on the same table. Complete a table that shows the marginal utility per dollar for each slice of pizza and each funnel cake (separate columns).

d) Assuming John’s parents do not allow him to use any savings, what is his optimal consumption bundle of pizza and funnel cakes? Explain.

From the above table we can see the MU from consumption of 6th spice is zero. Therefore, John will consume 5 slices of Pizza.

<h3> If John purchased 8 slices, what total utility would he enjoy?</h3>

When he consumes 8 slices of Pizza then the total utility that he will derive will be:

TU = 20 + 12 + 10 + 6 + 2 + 0- 2 - 6

= 42 utils.

<h3>What is the complete table that shows the marginal utility per dollar for each slice of pizza and each funnel cake?</h3>

See the attached table I in the attached.

<h3>Assuming John’s parents do not allow him to use any savings, what is his optimal consumption bundle of pizza and funnel cakes? </h3>

When John expends all of his income and cannot use his savings, he will maximize his overall utility.

Then he will maximize his TU when the MU/$ of the two commodities are equal. According to the preceding data, the MU/$ is equivalent for the following combinations. See table II in the attached.

From the chart above, we can see that he can spend up to $ 20 if he consumes three pieces of pizza and four funnel cakes.

However, because he cannot spend his funds, he will have fewer than three slices and four funnel cakes.

As a result, he will give up 1 slice of pizza because the third slice provides him a MU of 10 utils and the fourth piece of Funnel cake gives him a MU of 20 utils.

The optimal consumption basket contains two pieces of pizza and four funnel cakes.

<h3>At John’s optimal consumption bundle, what total utility will he gain?</h3>

Total Utility is given as:

(20+12)+(50+40+32+20)

= 32 + 142

= 174 utils.

Answer:

1775–1830

U.S. Indian policy during the American Revolution was disorganized and largely unsuccessful. At the outbreak of the war, the Continental Congress hastily recruited Indian agents. Charged with securing alliances with Native peoples, these agents failed more often than they succeeded. They faced at least three difficulties. First, they had less experience with Native Americans than did the long-standing Indian agents of the British Empire. Second, although U.S. agents assured Indians that the rebellious colonies would continue to carry on the trade in deerskins and beaver pelts, the disruptions of the war made regular commerce almost impossible. Britain, by contrast, had the commercial power to deliver trade goods on a more regular basis. And third, many Indians associated the rebellious colonies with aggressive white colonists who lived along the frontier. Britain was willing to sacrifice these colonists in the interests of the broader empire (as it had done in the Proclamation of 1763), but for the colonies, visions of empire rested solely on neighboring Indian lands. Unable to secure broad alliances with Indian peoples, U.S. Indian policy during the Revolution remained haphazard, formed by local officials in response to local affairs.

Temka [501]

Mice are shy creatures who try to, at all costs, avoid trouble. Lennie is scared to talk to others because he's scared he'll get himself into trouble. Lennie is oblivious to what's going on around him, it's as if he's in his own little world.
