A cup of Starbucks coffee is just as good as a cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee for me (assuming equal sized cups.) The price of coffee at Starbucks used to be $1.50 compared to $1 at Dunkin Donuts. The price of Starbucks coffee increased. My utility is unchanged after the price changed. True False

Respuesta :

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

It is given that both Starbucks coffee as well as Dunkin Donuts coffee are both perfect for me. They taste same and the quality of the coffee in both are same. The price of Starbucks coffee is more than the coffee in Dunkin Donuts. As a customer I would prefer the lower cost item i.e. the Dunkin Donuts coffee.

After the pandemic, the price of the Starbucks coffee have increased. But my utility of purchasing coffee from Dunkin Donuts is not changed as the price of the Dunkin Donuts coffee is still the lowest between the two. So I will continue buying coffee from Dunkin Donuts like before. Thus my utility remains unchanged.
