An individual's utility is given by: U (q1, q2) = a(q1)+ b(q2), where a and b are constants. When prices are P1= 4 and P2=1, the individual can only maximize utility by purchasing all good #2. When the prices are P1=3 and P2=1, the individual can only maximize utility by consuming all good #1. Which of the following statements below must be true? A. Goods #1 and #2 are complements B. a < b C. 3 < a/b <4 D. The indifference curves exhibit diminishing MRS
PROBLEM You are choosing between two goods, X and Y, and your MU from each is shown in the table below. Assume that, other things remaining unchanged, the price of X falls to $1. What quantities of X and Y will you now purchase? Using the two prices and quantities of X, derive a demand curve for X. 7. Assume that, other things remaining unchanged, your income is $9 and the prices of Y is $1, and the price of product X falls to $1. How much will be the total utility for product X only to maximize utility? Use a number, no decimal value, no commas, no space, no unit of measurement. 8. Assume that, other things remaining unchanged, your income is $9 and the prices of Y is $1, and the price of product X falls to $1. What maximum total utility for products X and Y that will you realize? Use a number, no decimal value, no commas, no space, no unit of measurement. please answer all questions. Thanks
a. Determine the demand functions of x and y in the case of a Cobb-Douglas type utility function, in the following cases: α=0.40;β=0.60 Graph the demand functions of the two goods (price as a function of quantity) assuming the individual's income is $500 - Determine what is the quantity demanded of x and y, if the price of good x is USD 1, the price of good y is USD 4, and income is USD 500 - Now, explain what happens to the quantity demanded if the prices of the goods are doubles holding income constant.
Answer the following short questions:a. Suppose that a consumer’s preferences between goods x andy are represented by the utility function u(x, y) = x^2 + 16xy + 64y^2. If these two goods have the same price, describe the optimal consumptionchoice of this consumer.b. Suppose that when the price of a good change, the incomeand substitution effects change the consumer’s demand for that goodin opposite directions.i. Is this good a normal or an inferior good? Explain.ii. Is this good a Giffen or an ordinary good? Explain.c. Is the following statement true or false? The differencebetween a monopolist’s marginal cost and its profit-maximizing price issmaller when the demand is more elastic.
I. For the normal good, make a (Hypothetical) linear demand schedule with 7 different price points and corresponding quantity demanded for your own household. For the same normal good, make another (Hypothetical) linear demand schedule with 7 different price points and corresponding quantity demanded for your neighbor. Assuming that you and your neighbor are the only two households in the market, make a market demand schedule for the same normal good. Draw and interpret a graph to show the market demand and impact of changes in quantity demanded, if price of the same normal good decreases.
Imagine two goods, x and y, with a given budget of 10 pesos. Prices of good x and y are P2 and P3 respectively. Suppose the price of good x increase by P2. What happened to the consumer’s utility? Select one: a. Budget line will pivot to the right and consumption of good x will decline b. Budget line will shift to the right and consumption of good x will decline c. Budget line will shift to the left and consumption of good x will decline d. Budget line will pivot to the left and consumption of good x will decline
I need help with this homework question i am confused on Suppose a consumer’s utility function is given by U(X,Y) = MIN (5X, Y). Also, the consumer has $60 to spend, and the price of good X is P(x) = $5. Let good Y be a composite good (good Y is the “numeraire”) whose price is P(y) = $1. So, on the Y-axis, we are graphing the amount of money that the consumer has available to spend on all other goods for any given value of X. Suppose PX increases to $7, Calculate the Compensating Variation. Calculate the Equivalent Variation.
(a.) Consider a consumer who consumes two good- X and Y - where X is an inferior (but NOT Giffen good. Consider an initial equilibrium where with an income of 100 and individual consumes 10 units of X and 12 units of Y . Now, suppose the price of the good X increases, keeping everything else unchanged. Draw a clearly labelled diagram and indicate the range of the new equilibrium due to price change. [Note: only a clean graph is required and the information that are NOT given are NOT necessary.] (b.) A monopolist- who sells microprocessors in an entire Indian market- charges INR 1200 per unitand sells 1.213 million units in the country. The firm is a recent entry- so the economists are not sure about the demand curve for the Indian market, except that it is a linear curve. Can you comment anything about the elasticity at the equilibrium? Specifically, does the equilibrium lie in the elastic or the inelastic part of the demand curve? (c.) Consider a monopolist who serves a market given…
A demand schedule for a normal good is as follows: Price Quantity demanded Rs.230 70 210 90 190 110 170 130 Do you think that the increase in quantity demanded (say, from 90 to 110 in the table) when price decreases (from Rs.210 toRs.190) is due to a rise in consumers’ income? Explain clearly (and briefly) why or why not. Now suppose that the good is an inferior good. Would the demand schedule still be valid for an inferior good?
You are choosing between two goods, X and Y, and your marginal utility from each is shown in the following table. Units of X MUx Units of Y MUy 1 10 1 8 2 8 2 7 3 6 3 6 4 4 4 5 5 3 5 4 6 2 6 3 a. If your income is $9 and the prices of X and Y are $2 and $1, respectively, what quantities of each will you purchase to maximize utility? ______units of X and ______units of Y b. What total utility will you realize? ______utils c. Assume that, other things remaining unchanged, the price of X falls to $1. What quantities of X and Y will you now purchase? _____units of X and ______units of Y d. Using the two prices and quantities for X, complete the table to derive the demand schedule (a table showing prices and quantities demanded) for X. Instructions: Start with the highest price first Price of X Quantity Demanded of X $ $
For normal goodsA) the substitution effect of a price decrease will decrease the quantity of the good demanded while theincome effect of a price decrease will increase the quantity of the good demanded.B) the substitution and income effects of a price decrease will both increase the quantity of the gooddemanded.C) the substitution and income effects of a price decrease will both decrease the quantity of the gooddemanded.D) the substitution effect of a price decrease will increase the quantity of the good demanded while theincome effect of a price decrease will decrease the quantity of the good demanded.
Answer the questions. Please draw graphs, instructions on word for how to draw the graph is not enough. Let X1 on the horizontal axis and X2 on the vertical axis. (a) Suppose two ordinary goods X1 and X2 are substitutes in consumption. Using BLs and ICs, graphically derive the demand curve for X1. Explain your graph.(b) If X2 is a Giffen good, how to derive the demand curve for X2?(c) Is the inferior good the same as the Giffen good? Why or why not?
