Suppose that consumer I has the utility function u(x,y) = x + 2y and consumer II has the utility function u(x,y) = min{x, 2y}. Consumer I initially has 12 units of y and zero units of x, while consumer II has 12 units of x and zero units of y. It is correct to state that, in competitive equilibrium, the agents' consumption basket will be:

Economics Consider a household whose preferences are described by the utility function U(X1, X2) = X1X2 where X1 and X2 are household’s consumption of goods 1 and 2 respectively. Consider that household’s budget constraint is: P1X1 +P2X2 =I. (a) Derive the household’s demand functions for goods X1 and X2. (b) Derive the household’s compensated demand function for goods 1 and 2, i.e., obtain functions of the form Xi = fi (P1, P2, U) , I = 1, 2 where U is the household’s level of utility. (c) Assume that in the initial situation the commodity prices, P1 and P2, and the household income level, I, are given by P1 = $1, P2 = $1 and I = $2. Sketch the compensated and uncompensated demand curves for good 2 with P1 held constant at the initial level. In the compensated case, U is held constant at the initial level while in the uncompensated case, I is held constant. (d) By how much must I be increased if P2 increases to $2 (P1 remains at $1) and our household is to maintain its…

Utility function of Mr. Haroon is given by Find the optimal quantities of the two commodities (X and Y) by using Lagrangian method, if it is given that price of commodity X is Rs. 5 per unit, price of commodity Y is Rs. 10 per unit and income of Mr. Haroon is equal to Rs. 1000. b. Using indifference map elucidates at which point Mr. Haroon would be able to achieve maximum utility.
A consumer is willing to trade 4 units of x for 1 unit of y when she is consuming bundle(8, 1). She is also willing to trade in 1 unit of x for 2 units of y when she is consumingbundle (4, 4). She is indifferent between these two bundles. Assuming that the utilityfunction is Cobb-Douglas of the form U(x,y)=xα yβ, where α and β are positiveconstants, what is the utility function for this consumer?
It is given that a typical consumer has a well-behaved preference structure for his consumption bundle, which includes only two goods, A and B. Further, assume that commodity A is normal and commodity B is Giffen. By keeping commodity A on the x-axis and commodity B on the y-axis, you are required to show the price decomposition for commodity B when $PB decreases exogenously relative to $PA.
