Answer:
Falls:rises.
Explanation:
The MU/P (Marginal Utility/Price) ratio for good X is greater than the MU/P (Marginal Utility/Price) ratio for good Y. To achieve consumer equilibrium, the consumer reallocates dollars from the purchase of good Y to the purchase of good X. If the law of diminishing marginal utility holds, the marginal utility of good X falls and the marginal utility of good Y rises.
The law of diminishing marginal utility states that as the unit of a good or service consumed by an individual increases, the additional satisfaction he or she derives from consuming additional units would start decreasing or diminishing as the units of good or service consumed increases.
Also, the marginal utility of goods and services is the additional satisfaction that a consumer derives from consuming or buying an additional unit of a good or service.
Hence, the marginal utility of good X falls and the marginal utility of good Y rises because the consumer no longer derive satisfaction or benefits (utility) from the consumption of good X while he would switch to good Y for satisfaction.
B because it the right answer there
Answer:
Purchase decision process
Explanation:
A purchase decision process is defined as the thought process that goes into buying a certain product. This thought process include the buyer identifying a need, creating options, seeing different brands and then finally buying the product.
Purchase decision could be either minor or major. Purchasing things like tea, toothpaste, etc require minor decision processes while buying a house or piece of land involves major decision processes.
As in the question, Becky now has to under purchase decision process as to buying soccer cleats for her daughter. This decision will involve buying a brand that won't shrink as a result of weather changes or wear out easily, etc
I hope this helps.
Answer:
a) attached below.
b) for $x < $5000 will cause taking the drug to be part of the Nash equilibrium
c) will make the athletes feel better because the value their payoff will increase
Explanation:
<u>a) 2 * 2 payoff matrix describing the decision faced by the athletes </u>
attached below
when both players take the drug the payoff for each player = $5000 - x
when neither player takes the drug the payoff for each player = $5000
When only one player takes the drug his payoff = $10000 - x
<u>b) If we consider the value of $x to be involved in the Nash equilibrium then </u>
; $5000 - $x > 0 becomes the best response
hence for $x < $5000 will cause taking the drug to be part of the Nash equilibrium
c) Lowering the negative effect of the drug ( i.e. when the value of x is reduced )
will make the athletes feel better because the value their payoff will increase
