If the consumption of x1seee is 80 and x2 as much as 60 units, the price of Px120 and Px2 25, Determine if there is a balance of consumption?Solve; a consumer utility function is given as 64q10.5q20.25q30.4 1. what is the marginal utility of consuming commodities q1, q2 and q3 2. derive the second-order partial derivatives of the utility function with respect to the three pairs of commodities 3. show the cross partial derivatives with respect to q1 4.what is her total utility when q1 is 24, q2 is 30, and q3 is 15When utility function U(q1, q2)=min{ 34.6 q1, 17 q2} and q1= 33 and q2= 60 are given, find utility level consumer gains?
- 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.An individual utility function is given by U(x,y) = x·y. Derive this individual indirect utility function. Using this individual indirect utility function, compute her level of utility when I = $800, px = $20 and py = $40. It is equal to?If Utility function is of form U = 50(x2)3 + Ln(x1), with prices of goods of the form p1=5 and p2=12. If monetary income is $15.000, determine optimal quantities for x1 and x2 and establish utility obtained by consumer.
- If BC2 is the relevant budget constraint, then this consumer is indifferent between bundlesA consumer prefers to consume two commodities in fixed proportions. Specifically, she prefers to consume 1 unit of x2 and 4 units of x1 at the same time. Represent her utility function and find the most preferred and affordable consumption bundle for prices p1 and p2Mats, who has reference-dependent preferences over beer and money, goes to the local pub with a friend, but is not planning on drinking any beer or spending any of his 50 Euro in cash. Let his end-of-evening outcomes in pints of beer consumed and cash be c1 and c2, respectively, and let his reference point in pints of beer and cash be r1 and r2, respectively. Then, Mats’ utility is given by v(6c1 − 6r1) + v(c2 − r2), where v(x) = x for x ≥ 0, and v(x) = 1.5x for x < 0. (a) Suppose that the price of beer is pB. Calculate Mats’ utility from drinking one pint of beer at this price. What is Mats’ utility from drinking no beer? And, comparing these two utility values, what is the maximum price pB that Mats would pay for one beer? (b) Suppose that Mats unexpectedly gets a pint of beer as part of a promotion at the pub, and incorporates its consumption into his reference point in beer. [Hint: this means that (r1, r2) = (1, 50).] Suppose that Mats could sell the beer at a price pS.…
- what is the derivative of the utility function UU = log (100-2PPii) + log(PPjj+PPdd) with respect to PPjj. Budget constaint XXii = 100 - 2PPiiTrue/False Marginal utility refers to the satisfaction or pleasure that occur due to the additional consumption of one more unit1. What is the relationship between pS/pC and pC /pB? What feature of the utility function is responsible for these ratios?2. Now suppose that the moment before the above prices are elicited, the subject gets $10, which does not become part of her reference point. Again calculate the three prices pS, pB, and pC. What is the relationship between pS/pC and pC /pB? Why? 3. In some actual experiments, subjects were not given money, and pS/PC was found to be about 2, and PC/pB was found to be about 1. Write down a utility function that can produce these ratios.
