PROBLEMS/SITUATIONS: 1. Assume you spend your entire income on two goods X & Y with prices given as PX & PY, respectively. Prices and income (I) are exogenous and positive. Given that U = X2+ Y2 derive the Marshallian demand function for good Y and evaluate the type of good.    2. Assume you spend your entire income on two goods X & Y with prices given as PX & PY , respectively. Prices and income (I) are exogenous and positive. Given that U = X2 Y2 , derive the Hicksian demand function for good Y.

Question 2
optimum condition
MRS=Px/Py
MRS=MUx/MUy
MUx=d(U)/dX
MUy=d(U)/dY
U=x2y2
Hicksian demand function is uncompensated demand function which represent the minimization of budget for given utility level.
MUx=2XY2
MUy=2x?Y
MRS=2XY2/2X2Y
MRS=Y/X
At optimum condition
Y/X=Px/Py
Y=X*Px/Py
By substituting into constant utility constraint
U°=x?y2
U0-x2•(x*Px/Py)?
X=(U°)/4/(Px/Py)1/2
By substituting value of X
Y=X*Px/Py
Y=(U°)4/4/(Px/Py)/2+Px/Py
Y=(U9a/4/(Py/Px)1/2
X=(U°)1/4*(Py/Px)1/2---- Hicksian demand function for X
Y=X=(U°)1/4*(Px/Py)1/2..Hicksian demand function for Y

optimum condition
MRS=Px/Py
MRS=MUx/MUy
MUx=d(U)/dX
MUy=d(U)/dY
U=x2+y2
MUx=2X
MUy=2Y
Optimum condition
2X/2Y=Px/Py
X=Y*Px/Py
Budget constraint
M=Px*X+Py*Y
By substituting value
M=Px*Y*Px/Py+Py*Y
Y=M/[P?x/Py+Py]
