- Consider an individual whose preferences are represented by the utility function U(x1,x2) = min {3x1+x2 , x1+3x2}. For this individual, Plot the indifference curve giving a utility level of 6. Calculate her MRS at consumption bundle (x1,x2), does MRS depend on the value of (x1,x2)? Calculate her optimal consumption bundle when she has an income of 24, and P1=1, P2=2. Calculate her optimal consumption bundle when she has an income of 24, and P1=1, P2=4. Calculate the income and substitution effects resulting from the change in price of Good 2 (on the level of Good 2 consumption!) Calculate her demand function X1* (P1, P2,m) Calculate her own price, cross price, and income elasticities at X1*(1, 2, 24) and at X1*(1, 4, 24). Based on these, can you say the goods 1 and 2 are (gross, or Marshallian) complements or substitutes?Q11. Consider a utility function: U (F,C) = FC so MU_F = C and MU_C = F. Suppose as Case A, Total income is $120 and per unit prices of Food (F) and Cloth (C) are $2 and $10, respectively. a. What is the value of MRS at the optimal point and what does this value mean? b. What is the optimal consumption bundle i.e (F*,C*)? c. Plot the budget line and clearly depict the point of optimality in the F (x-axis)-C (y-axis) space.Q12. Consider a utility function: U (F,C) = FC so MU_F = C and MU_C = F.Suppose as Case X, Total income is $100 and per unit prices of Food (F) and Cloth (C) are $2 and $15, respectively. a. What is the value of MRS at the optimal point and what does this value mean? b. What is the optimal consumption bundle i.e (F*,C*)? c.

- Given the Utility Function is U = X0.7Y0.3 and Budget is taka 300. The original price was (Px, Py) = (2, 2) and the new price is (Px’, Py) = (4, 2). (a) Draw an angle curve for X by using the above information [Labelling is must] (b) Calculate the value of Compensation variation (CV) and Equivalent variation (EV)?Ann's utility function is U = q1q2/(q1 + q2). Solve for her optimal values of q1 and q2 as a function of p1, p2 and Y.Mrs. Griffiths earns $5000 a week and spends her entire income on dresses and handbags, since these are the only two items that provide her utility. Furthermore, Mrs. Griffiths insists that for every dress she buys, she must also buy a handbag. Suppose the price of a dress increases to $200 and income decreases to $4200. What is the new algebraic equation for Mrs. Griffiths budget constraint? Show the impact of the new budget line relative to the original budget line.
- Clarice has a utility function: U(Y) = 1000 - (100/Y), where Y is her income. clarice has just graduated from college and has a career choice for her first job of either working as a teacher and earning $40,000 or trying to become a theatre lighting director and earning $70,000 (if there is growth in the demand for theatre) or $20,000 (if there isn't growth in the demand for theatre). there is a 50% probability of growth. a consulting firm guarantees Clarice that it already knows whether there will be growth in the demand for theatre next year. what is the maximum amount Clarice should be willing to pay for this information?Find the maximizing utility for the person consuming two commodities from the following information: Income: 10 OMRPrice of Qx= 2 OMR, Price of Qy= 1 OMRAssume you can work as many hours you wish at £12 per hour (net of tax). If you do not work, you have no income. You have no ability to borrow or lend, so your consumption, c, is simply equal to your income. Assume that your optimal choice of consumption and leisure is to work 8 hours per day. Illustrate this choice diagrammatically using the feasible set and indifference curves.
- Q9. Consider a utility function: U (F,C) = FC so MU_F = C and MU_C = F.Suppose as Case X, Total income is $100 and per unit prices of Food (F) and Cloth (C) are $2 and $15, respectively. a. What is the value of MRS at the optimal point and what does this value mean? b. What is the optimal consumption bundle i.e (F*,C*)? c. Plot the budget line and clearly depict the point of optimality in the F (x-axis)-C (y-axis) space. d. Now assume a new Case Y, Pc' = $10, holding all else the same, do the same analysis (parts a-c) and contrast your answers to Case X. For part c, you should draw old (Case X) and new (Case Y) budget lines/point of optimality.Bob lives in San Diego and loves to eat desserts. He spends his entire weekly allowance on pudding and pie. A bowl of pudding is priced at $1.00, and a piece of apple pie is priced at $4.00. At his current consumption point, Bob's marginal rate of substitution (MRS) of pudding for pie is 4. This means that Bob is willing to trade four bowls of pudding per week for one piece of pie per week. Does Bob's current bundle maximize his utility—in other words, make him as well off as possible? If not, how should he change it to maximize his utility? Bob could increase his utility by buying more pudding and less pie per week. Bob's current bundle maximizes his utility, and he should keep it unchanged. Bob could increase his utility by buying less pudding and more pie per week.Q6. Consider a utility function: U (F,C) = FC so MU_F = C and MU_C = F. Suppose as Case 1, Total income is $100 and per unit prices of Food (F) and Cloth (C) are $2 and $10, respectively. a. What is the value of MRS at the optimal point and what does this value mean? b. What is the optimal consumption bundle i.e. (F*,C*)? c. Plot the budget line and clearly depict the point of optimality in the F (x-axis)-C (y-axis) space. d. Now suppose Case 2, where assuming if income increases to $120, holding all else the same, do the same analysis (parts a-c) and contrast your answers to Case 1. For part c, you should draw old (Case 1) and new (Case 2) budget lines/point of optimality.
