The main thing we can do to manage the problem of scarcity is to not overspend.

Scarcity happen when the number of demand in our society heavily outnumber the amount of resources available. By observing our consumption behavior today, we will notice that a lot of people spend money to buy more goods or services that they actually need.

If we control this overspending behavior, not only people who overspend can save some of their money, there will be a lot of goods/services left for other people.

Dr Beth Capital Account $30,000

Cr Mary Capital A/c $2,333 (1/3) of $7,000

Suppose Lisa's utility function is 4XY, where X is the consumption of beer and Y is consumption of pizza. For this utility funct

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Bundle 1: Beer = 2; Pizza = 6

Bundle 2: Beer = 3; Pizza = 4

Bundle 3: Beer = 4; Pizza = 3

Bundle 4: Beer = 12; Pizza = 1

Explanation:

Given that;

Lisa utility function UF(X,Y) = 4XY

where;

X = beer

Y = Pizza

$MU_X = 4Y$

$MU_Y = 4X$

The utility level = 48

so, UF(X,Y) = 4XY

putting different values of X (i.e beer ) given to us in this equation, we can calculate the values of Y(i.e pizza) to fulfill the utility

So; when X (beer) = 2

48 = 4×2×Y

48 = 8Y

Y = 48/8

Y = 6

Thus, Bundle 1: Beer = 2; Pizza = 6

when X (beer) = 3

48 = 4×3×Y

48 = 12 Y

Y = 48/12

Y = 4

Thus; Bundle 2: Beer = 3; Pizza = 4

when X (beer) = 4

48 = 4×4×Y

48 = 16 Y

Y = 48/16

Y = 3

Thus; Bundle 3: Beer = 4; Pizza = 3

when X(beer) = 12

48 = 4×12×Y

48 = 48 Y

Y = 48/48

Y = 1

Thus; Bundle 4: Beer = 12; Pizza = 1
