The following table shows the total utility gained from the consumption ofFanta Lemon in a week.left is quantity and right is total utility1-202-353-454-535-586-587-48
1. Calculate the marginal utility. What do you observe?2. Sketch the total utility and marginal utility curves.3. If the price of Fanta Lemon increases from Rs.8 to Rs.10, how will itaffect its consumption?Explain your answer using the data above.
suppose that your demand schedule for pizza is as follows
price: $8,$10,$12,$14,$16
quantity demanded( income $16.000): 40,32,24,16,8
quantity demanded( income $20.000): 50,45,30,20,12
a. use the midpoint method to calculate your price elasticity of demand as the price of pizza increases from $8 to $10 if (i) your income is $16,000 and (ii) your income is $20,000.
b. calculate your income elasticity of demand as your income increases from $16,000 to $20,000 if (i) the price is $12 and (ii) the price is $16

Given the table above, calculate Total Variable costs (TVC), Total Costs (TC), Marginal costs (MC, Marginal revenue (MR) and profit (loss) at each level of output.determine the profit maximizing level of output. Calculate the smallest rise in TVC that would force the firm to cease production in the short run.distinguish between the short run and long run periods of production.
