Can you please help awnser 8 b I have attached awnser to 8 a to make it easier to understand and complete. Thank you 8.In a 2-good model, where the goods are denoted x, and x2, the consumer's utility1 1function is as follows: U =Money income available is denoted m. All of this income is spent on the two goods.The prices of the two goods are P1 and p2 respectively.(a)By minimising expenditure, subject to the utility function, find the compensated(Hicksian) demand functions; that is, demand for each good expressed in terms of U,P1 and P2. Do not check the second order conditions.(b)Substitute these conditional demand functions back into the objective function to findthe expenditure function; that is, m in terms of U, P, and p2.(c)Show that the derivative of the expenditure function with respect to P1 is theconditional demand function for x1-(d)Now maximise utility subject to the budget constraint and thus find the ordinary(Marshallian) demand functions; that is, demand for each good expressed in terms ofm, Pi and P2.

P, is the price of good 1. p, is the price of good 2 and m isincome.Find the hicksian (compensated) demand functions, x, - x, (U.p.) for eachgood by minimising the expenditure required to attain a given level of utility.Assume the second order conditions hold.(a)1-pX, +P,X, + 2U -x - x)1.-2.--01, -U ---0Dividing first equation by the second gets:Now substitute this into the third equation:P +Px -U*pi + pSimilarly for the other one to get: x -U

We are going to find an expenditure function to answer this question.

8. In a 2-good model, where the goods are denoted x, and x,, the consumer's utility 1 1 function is as follows: U = x,x3. Money income available is denoted m. All of this income is spent on the two goods. The prices of the two goods are P1 and p2 respectively. (a) By minimising expenditure, subject to the utility function, find the compensated (Hicksian) demand functions; that is, demand for each good expressed in terms of U, P1 and P2. Do not check the second order conditions. (b) Substitute these conditional demand functions back into the objective function to find the expenditure function; that is, m in terms of U, P1 and p2.

2. Consider the two-good model of the utility maximization program subject to a budget constraint. The utility function U of a hypothetical rational consumer and his/her budget constraint are given, respectively, by: U = x1x2, (U) B = p1x1 + p2x2, (B) where xi = the consumer’s demand for consumption good i (i = 1, 2), pi = the price of consumption good i (i = 1, 2), and B = the (exogenously given) budget of the consumer. In this maximization program, assume the following data: B = 240, p1 = 10, p2 = 2.

Consider a budget constraint model with two goods X and Y. Suppose X is an inferior good, and the price of Y decreases. The substitution effect says we’ll demand _____ of good X, while the income effect says we’ll demand ______ of good X.

Consider the utility functions below of two individuals, A and B, and bundles of goods Q and R. UA=X0.5Y0.5; UB=X+2Y; Bundle Q (10, 10); Bundle R (10, 15). Suppose the total X and total Y available in the economy are both equal to 20. a. If initially both individuals are consuming bundle Q, then a pareto-improvement is possible through reallocation of goods, i.e. individual A gives B some of his good X in exchange for some of individual B’s good Y. (True or False? Explain through mathematical examples).b. Pareto-optimality is achieved if we give individual B Bundle R and the remaining goods X and Y available in the economy is given to individual A. (True or false? Explain through a graphical example)
Answer both question (a) and (b) below. (a) State theWeak Axiom of Revealed Preference (WARP).

Which of the following statements is correct? Suppose leisure is a normal good, then an increase in non-labor income always increases labor supply. Suppose leisure is a normal good, then an increase in wage rate increases labor supply if the income effect dominates the substitution effect. Suppose leisure is an inferior good, then an increase in non-labor income increases leisure hours. Suppose leisure is a normal good, then an increase in non-labor income reduces labor supply.
