- Donna and Jim are two consumers purchasing strawberries and chocolate. Jim’s utility function is ?(?,?) = ?? and Donna’s utility function is ?(?,?) = ?2? where x is strawberries and y is chocolate. Jim’s marginal utility functions are MUx=y and MUy=x while Donna’s are MUx=2xy and MUy=x2. Jim’s income is $100, andDonna’s income is $150. What is the optimal bundle for Donna if the price of strawberries is $2 and the price of chocolate is $4?Find Indirect utility function of the following function U = max (X, Y) subject to the budget constraint P, X+ P₂ Y=M Optionis O O max (P1 P2) M² min (P1 P2) M² P1+ P2 M min (P1 P2)Find the marginal utility (MU) and marginal rate of substitution (MRS) of following utility functions. 1.

- Question 2 David spends his budget on chocolate and chip. His utility function is given by ?(?1,?2)= 2?1?2, where ?1 is the number of chocolates he consumers per week, and ?2 is the number of chips he buys per week. A chocolate costs 10 SEK, and a chip costs 20 SEK. David’s weekly budge for consuming on these two goods is 120 SEK. (1) What is David’s budge line? Draw the budget line on a graph with chocolate amounts on the horizontal axis and chip amounts on the vertical axis. Write explicitly at which points budget line crosses the axis. (2) What is David’s marginal utilities for the two goods, respectively? What is his marginal rate of substitution between the two goods? (3) What is David’s optimal choice? Calculate the numerical answer for the optimal bundle. Also draw an indifference curve for David on the same graph as question(1) and show the optimal bundle.A consumer with income I=120 facing prices pX = 4 and pY = 8 for two goods X and Y (for each good she prefers more to less) chooses optimally to consume 12 units of X. If the prices change and now pX = 6 and pY = 4, what is the possible range for her optimal X consumption? (like, x >/ 7 or 10 >/ x >/7…etc. Use indifference curve analysis on a graph to reason about the possible locations of the new optimal bundle.)Anna has an income of 1000 euros and utility function U(x,y)=x²y³. The prices of the two goods are P₁=5 and Py-20. a) Define the budget constraint and represent it graphically. (
- Questions 1. Will's utility from vacations (91) and meals (92) is given by the function U(V, M) = 91 x 92. Last year, the price of vacations was $200 and the price of meals was $50. This year, the price of meals rose to $75, while the price of vacations remained the same. Both years, Will had an income of $1500. (a) What is the compensating variation for the price change in meals? (b) What is the equivalent variation for the price change in meals?QUESTION 1 For the utility function U = Qx0.50Qy(1-0.50) and the budget 122 = 8Qx + 14Qy find the CHANGE in optimal consumption of Y if the price of Xincreases by a factor of 1.7. Please enter your response as a positive number with 1 decimal and 5/4 rounding (e.g. 1.15 1.2, 1.14 = 1.1).Which of the following utility functions represent preferences which do not satisfy monotonicity? 1 U= - x+y 1 U= - 5ху Ou=xy O u= y
- 1 Consider a consumer who consumes only two goods, 21 and z2. His utility function is u (21, 22) = In z1 + 2. where In represents the natural logarithm. 1.a Derive the consumer's MRS of good 1 for good 2 using calculus to calculate his marginal utility from z and his marginal utility from z2. 1.b If the price of z1 is $2 per unit and the price of z2 is $4 per unit, and the consumer's income is $100, What is the equation of this consumer's budget line? 1.c What are the optimal consumption choices, z and z5, for this consumer? Show your work.EXERCISE 4 Milo spends £27 on stamps (S) and maple candy (C). His preferences for these goods are given by the following utility function: U(S, C) = min {S, 3C). Suppose that price per unit of S is £1.1 and the price per unit of C is £2.1. a) Write down Milo's budget equation and draw the corresponding budget line. Clearly label the axes and calculate the coordinates of the points of intersection of the budget line with each axis. In your graph, indicate the consumption bundle of 12 stamps and 6 maple candies. Can Milo afford this bundle? Explain. b) Find Milo's optimal consumption bundle, both algebraically and graphically. Explain your reasoning. c) If the price of a stamp increases to £1.4, how should Milo's income change for him to be as well off as before this change in prices? d) Discuss the implications of the price change from c) on Milo's optimal choice. In your discussion, include the analysis of the substitution and income effects as well as Milo's demand for stamps and/or…Q.7 A consumer's utility function is given by the expression: & = (0.6.x"s + 9.47"s}. Determine the marginal utility functions for each commodity. Does marginal utility decrease when consumption increases? Assuming that the price of good X is Rs 15 and the price of Y is Rs 6, write the equation of the budget line and plot it when income is Rs 450. What is its slope? What does it indicate? Calculate the marginal rate of substitution of Y for X. and interpret its economic meaning. Write the equation showing consumer's equilibrium condition. Obtain the equilibrium values of X and Y. Find the expressions for change in MUx due to increase in Y and change in MUy due to increase in X.
