Jerry's utility function is U(x,y) = (5x + y )18. Find Jerry's MRS (for good X in terms of good Y) and then find the value of the derivative dMRS/dx at the point were x=39 and y=69 and enter it below. Remember to enter the number in decimal form. If the number is negative, then use the negative sign (e.g., -3.29839).

- Solve; a consumer utility function is given as 64q10.5q20.25q30.4 2. derive the second-order partial derivatives of the utility function with respect to the three pairs of commoditiesAn individual’s utility function is given by where is the amount of leisure measured in hours per week and is income earned measured in cedis per week. Determine the value of the marginal utilities, when = 138 and = 500. Hence estimate the change in utility if the individual works for an extra hour, which increases earned income by GH¢15 per week. Does the law of diminishing utility hold for this function?If total utility increases as wealth increases, the first derivative of the utility function is negative. TRUE OR FALSE
- When utility function U(q1, q2)=min{ 34.6 q1, 17 q2} and q1= 33 and q2= 60 are given, find utility level consumer gains?Clarice has a utility function: U(Y) = 1000 - (100/Y), where Y is her income. clarice has just graduated from college and has a career choice for her first job of either working as a teacher and earning $40,000 or trying to become a theatre lighting director and earning $70,000 (if there is growth in the demand for theatre) or $20,000 (if there isn't growth in the demand for theatre). there is a 50% probability of growth. a consulting firm guarantees Clarice that it already knows whether there will be growth in the demand for theatre next year. what is the maximum amount Clarice should be willing to pay for this information?ANSWER THIS INTUITIVELY
- Thomas is indifferent between bundles (1, 3) and (2, 2). Which bundle do we know with certainty he prefers to these?given this utility function 95x10.3x20.2x30.25 first the first, second and cross order patial derivative with respect to each of the derivatives x1 x2 x3 what is the total utility derive if x1=24 x2=15 x3=51. What is the relationship between pS/pC and pC /pB? What feature of the utility function is responsible for these ratios?2. Now suppose that the moment before the above prices are elicited, the subject gets $10, which does not become part of her reference point. Again calculate the three prices pS, pB, and pC. What is the relationship between pS/pC and pC /pB? Why? 3. In some actual experiments, subjects were not given money, and pS/PC was found to be about 2, and PC/pB was found to be about 1. Write down a utility function that can produce these ratios.
- Please solve all parts (d and e) Find the marginal rate of substitution of y for x [MRS(x,y)] for the following utility functionsAnn's utility function is U = q1q2/(q1 + q2). Solve for her optimal values of q1 and q2 as a function of p1, p2 and Y.2. Utility maximization - Trading off labor and leisure The indifference curves on the following graph show Simone’s preferences for leisure and consumption for increasing levels of utility, such that her utility increases in both consumption and leisure. Assuming that Simone spends 68 hours each week sleeping, she has a maximum of 100 hours available to her for leisure if she does not work at all. Initially, she works 50 hours (and thus has 50 hours of leisure) and earns $400 per week. Use the grey point (star symbol) to indicate Simone’s initial leisure/consumption bundle. Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes. [Please see the image attached] Now, suppose that Simone is laid off, but she is eligible to collect unemployment benefits of $350 per week. Use the black point (cross symbol) to represent Simone’s unemployment point on the previous graph when she consumes $350 per week and has 100 hours of leisure. Suppose that after a month of…
