Utility function :U = x2 + y2
Price of X = Px ,
Price of Y = Py
Marshallian demand functions derived by the consumption point where marginal rate of substitution is equal to the price ratio.
->
Step 2
MRS = MU(X) /MU(Y)
MU(X) = 2X , MU(Y) = 2Y
MRS = X/Y
Price ratio = Px/Py
X/Y = Px/Py
Taking value of X from this condition and putting into budget constraint :
Px *X + Py*Y =M
PX (Y*Px/Py) + Py *Y = M
Y* (Px2/Py + Py) = M
Y* = M /[ (Px2/Py + Py)] (Marshallian demand for Y )

1. Assume you spend your entire income on two goods X & Y with prices given as Px & Py,
respectively. Prices and income (1) are exogenous and positive. Given that U =X² + Y°,
derive the Marshallian demand function for good Y and evaluate the type of good.
2. Assume you spend your entire income on two goods X & Y with prices given as Px & Py,
respectively. Prices and income (I) are exogenous and positive. Given that U= X'Y',
derive the Hicksian demand function for good Y.
