Bob lives in San Diego and loves to eat desserts. He spends his entire weekly allowance on yogurt and pie. A bowl of yogurt is p

riced at $1.25, and a piece of pecan pie is priced at $3.75. At his current consumption point, Bob's marginal rate of substitution (MRS) of yogurt for pie is 2. This means that Bob is willing to trade two bowls of yogurt per week for one piece of pie per week.
Does Bob's current bundle maximize his utility—in other words, make him as well off as possible? If not, how should he change it to maximize his utility?

Answer and Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

Current Consumption Marginal Rate of Substitution

= Marginal Utility (MU) of Pecan Pie ÷ Marginal Utility (MU) of Yogurt

= 2

Utility Maximized When Marginal Rate of Substitution (MRS)

=  Marginal Utility of Pecan Pie ÷ Marginal Utility of Yogurt

= $3.75 ÷ $1.25

= 3

According to the analysis, Utility-maximizing MRS (3) is more than the current MRS (2). So to increase the utility bob should have to consume less pecan pie and more quantity of yogurt.

What groups are hurt by inflation?
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Groups hurt by inflation: Fixed Salary Earners and Pensioners, Creditors and Savers.

Explanation:

Inflation refers to a quantitative measure of a rate at which a basket of selected goods and services’ average price level in an economy up rises over some time period. Inflation is indicative of a rise in general price level wherein a single currency unit buys less than what it did formerly. Expressed in percentage, inflation is indicative of a decline in the national currency’s purchasing power.  

<u>GROUPS HURT BY INFLATION </u>

<u>Fixed Salary Earners</u>: Their real income is eroded by inflation.

<u>Creditors</u>: When loan is repaid, its purchasing power is reduced.

<u>Savers</u>: This group is most hurt since the official nominal interest of the bank cannot resist the real rate of interest (inflation rate).
