15 Point Total 1 point- for EACH problem correctly analyzed and

labeled. (14 points)Don’t worry about the shifter.

1 point- if every problem is attempted. No Blanks.

Before grading, quickly check the labeling of each graph.

If any curve is not labeled OR if Pe, Qe, P1 or Q1 are missing mark the answer incorrect.

Question #6:10 Points Total

a. 4 Point Total 1 Points- Correct Marginal Utility for CDs1 Points- Correct Marginal Utility for DVDs1 Points- Correct Marginal Utility per $ for CDs1 Points- Correct Marginal Utility per $ for DVDs

Question #6

b. 3 Point Total 1 Point- for identifying the correct utility

maximizing combination as 2 CDs and 4 DVDs2 Points- Explanation- To find the utility maximizing combination first

you must calculate per dollar (MU/P). (1 point)You continue buying the good with the highest

marginal utility per dollar until you reach the income constraint of $100. (1 point)

Question #6

c. 3 Point Total 1 Point- for identifying the correct utility

maximizing combination as 3 CDs and 5 DVDs2 Points- Explanation- With an additional $30 you should buy one more

CD and one more DVD. (1 point)You continue buying the good with the highest

marginal utility per dollar until you reach the income constraint of $130. (1 point)
