Can you please help solve question 8 I have added a similar question AWNSERED so it is easier to understand the logic behind it, please show full working so I can compare it to my own work I am having trouble with the algebra Thank you 10.In a 2 good (8, and x) model, the consumer's utility is given by:U= +where U is utility. P, is the price of good 1. p, is the price of good 2 and m isincome.Find the hicksian (compensated) demand functions, x, - x, (U.p.) for eachgood by minimising the expenditure required to attain a given level of utility.Assume the second order conditions hold.(a)1-pX, +P,X, + 2U -x - x)1.-2.--01, -U ---0Dividing first equation by the second gets:Now substitute this into the third equation:P +Px -U*pi + pSimilarly for the other one to get: x -U 8.In a 2-good model, where the goods are denoted X, and x2, the consumer's utility1function is as follows: U = x,x.Money income available is denoted m. All of this income is spent on the two goods.The prices of the two goods are p, andP2 respectively.(a)By minimising expenditure, subject to the utility function, find the compensated(Hicksian) demand functions; that is, demand for each good expressed in terms of U,P1 and p2. Do not check the second order conditions.

In a 2-good model, where the goods are denoted X, and x2, the consumer's utility 1 1 function is as follows: U = x Money income available is denoted m. All of this income is spent on the two goods. The prices of the two goods are p1 and p2 respectively. By minimising expenditure, subject to the utility function, find the compensated (Hicksian) demand functions; that is, demand for each good expressed in terms of U, p, and pɔ. Do not check the second order conditions.

The utility function of a certain consumer is U =(x1,x2)= x11/3 x22/3 , x 1and x 2 is the consumption of two kinds of goods, and the consumer's income is 100. The current prices of the two kinds of goods are P 1 =1 and P 2=2 respectively, ask: 1. If the price of the first commodity increases from 1 to 2, and other factors remain unchanged, what is the total effect of the price increase on the consumption of the first commodity? According to the Slutsky decomposition principle, what are the income effect and substitution effect? 2. Calculate the amount of income compensation that changes the price of the first commodity from 1 to 2, keeping the original effect unchanged

It is an established fact in economics that for goods which are described as inferior goods, when incomes of consumers increase, consumers tend to reduce their consumption of such goods and rather patronize goods which would normally provide higher satisfaction .If a researcher decides to undertake a study to verify the general preposition that as incomes rise, the consumption of inferior goods falls, which type of economic study and what analysis is this? Justify your answer.
