The following data pertain to products A and B, both of which are purchased by Madame X. Initially, the prices of the products and quantities consumed are: PA = $10, QA = 3, PB = $10, QB = 7. Madame X has $100 to spend per time period. After a reduction in price of B, the prices and quantities consumed are: PA = $10, QA = 2.5, PB = $5, QB = 15. Assume that Madame X maximizes utility under both price conditions above. Also, note that if after the price reduction enough income were taken away from Madame X to put her back on the original indifference curve, she would consume this combination of A and B: QA = 1.5, QB = 9 Determine the change in consumption rate of good B due to (1) the substitution effect and (2) the income effect. Determine if product B is a normal, inferior, or Giffen good. Explain.

The preferences of a typical Californian can be represented by the following utility function: U (x1 , x2 ) = α ln(x1) + (1 − α) ln(x2) Here, x1 and x2 are the quantities of electricity and gasoline, respectively. The consumer faces prices given by p1 and p2 and has income m. Currently, the government has decided to impose a consumption restriction so that any person in the state is allowed to consume at most 50 units of electricity (x1 ≤ 50). Call this restriction a rationing constraint. (a) If α=0.25, m=100,and p1 =p2 =1, find the optimal consumption bundle of gasoline and electricity. Is the electricity rationing constraint binding (meaning does x1∗ = 50)? (b) Suppose that α = 0.75, but the other parameters are the same. What is the optimal consumption bundle?
