... Using the first order conditions to solve for x and y, the utility- maximising consumption bundle is ( x* , y* ) (2, 6) . 3. Mr. B’s utility function is U ( x, y ) x 3 y . Suppose the price of x is 2 and the price of y is 3 and his income is 12. What is his budget constraint? Suppose now the p ...

... Since each additional unit of labor ‘costs’ the daily wage, $100 is the change in variable cost and each value of Q comes from one day increments in units of labor. Create a marginal product column and use marginal product as the divisor in this equation: $100/mp=marginal cost. Moving from one to tw ...

Middle-class squeeze
The middle-class squeeze is the situation where increases in wages fail to keep up with inflation for middle-income earners, while at the same time, the phenomenon fails to have a similar impact on the top wage earners. Persons belonging to the middle class find that inflation in consumer goods and the housing market prevent them from maintaining a middle-class lifestyle, making downward mobility a threat to aspirations of upward mobility. In the United States for example, middle-class income is declining while many goods and services are increasing in price, such as education, housing, child care and healthcare.
