- Ruby has the following utility function: U(X, Y) = X^3/4 , Y^1/4, where X is her consumption of food items, with a price of $10, and Y is her consumption of clothing items, with a price of $30. She plans to spend $360 on food and clothing over the next week. Using the Lagrange multiplier technique, determine the number of food and clothing items that will maximize Ruby's utility.Two students go out to lunch and decide to split the bill evenly between them. Each student has a quasi-linear utility function given by ui(fi , xi) = φi(fi) + xi , where φi(·) is strictly concave, fi is the amount of food consumed by student i, and xi is a composite numeraire good. Each student has a fixed budget of mi . EVALUATE THIS CLAIM: Both students eat too much!Consider U(q1,q2) = q1 + v(q2) where v' > 0 and v'' < 0. This utility function is called a quasi-linear utility function. Assume q1 is a numeraire. Find the demand function for q2. *What does v mean in this question? Also, could you solve this problem without using Lagrange multipliers? Thank you.
- You are given the following utility function: ? = ?? The budget is K100 and the price of X is K2 while the price of Y is K5. a) Derive the demand for X and Y by the Lagrange multiplier method. b) What will be the demand when all the prices are doubled and the income is doubled? c) What is the utility when the budget is increased by K1?Based on several observations, people at older ages tend to buy more luxurious products than when they were younger.

- A consumer consumes two agricultural products: Red Meat, and Tomatoes according to the following utility function: U = RT That is, the total utility is the multiplication of the quantity consumed of the two products. Given that consumer's income is 210, price of R is 10, and the price of Tis 2, a)Write down the budget constraint (budget line equation) for this consumer. b)Determine the quantities that the consumer should consume of each of the two products c)Calculate the value of the lagrangian multiplier and derive the demand function for Red Meat and for tomatoes.I need help with this question in my homework. 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. What is the Indirect Utility Function? What is the Expenditure Function?You have the Cobb-Douglas utility function u(x,y) = xy over apples (x) and plums (y) and you have $120 budget to spend and can carry at most 480 ounces in weight in your backpack going back to the dorm. Each apple costs $1 and weighs 8 ounces, and each plum costs $3 and weighs 4 ounces. You can only leave the store with a bundle of fruits you can afford and carry. (a) Drawing the relevant lines, intercepts, marking the points and hence identifying the feasible set of bundles, calculate the optimal bundle. (b) Forget about (a). If you were to choose a backpack before going on this shopping trip, for the weight constraint not to be an issue for you, how many ounces of weight capacity would you need for your backpack? HINT: That is, for this weight capacity of the backpack, you’d be able to carry the best bundle you can afford, i.e, the weight constraint is not binding for your decision. ( c) Forget about (b). In (a), just before going out for shopping with your backpack to buy the…
- Sales are the function of advertising in The Dawn and Diva Magazine (X, Y). S = XY2 If the price of advertising in The Dawn and Diva Magazine is Rs.5 and Rs.10 respectively.

(a) Set up the Lagrangian function of this utility maximisation problem and derive the first-order conditions. (b) What are the utility maximizing amounts of x and y? Also, calculate the Lagrange multiplier. (c) What are the utility maximising amounts of x and y if the budget constraint changes to x + 3y = 50? Also, calculate the Lagrange multiplier.What are some key points about the utility-maximization model
