This question will let you examine/explore a more interesting utility function than the simple example discussed in class as there will be both cross-price elasticity and an inferior good. Suppose you are told a consumer has the following utility function: U(qx, qz) = qx +√(qx + qz)You should assume income is Y , the price of good x is Px, and the price of good z is Pz. Question:What is the Marshallian demand for goods x and z? I.e. find (qx, qz)for both interior solutions and corner solutions. Note: the outcome is “ugly”for the interior section and both corner should include constraints, i.e. limitsusing Y relative to f(Px, Pz).

This problem involves solving demand and supply equations together to determine price and quantity. a. Consider a demand curve of the form QD=-2P+20, where QD is the quantity demanded of a good and P is the price of the good. Graph this demand curve. Also draw a graph of the supply curve Qs =2P-4, where Qs is the quantity supplied. Be sure to put P on the vertical axis and Q on the horizontal axis. Assume that all the Qs and Ps are nonnegative for parts a, b, and c. At what values of P and Q do these curves intersect-that is, where does QD = Qs ? b. Now, suppose at each price that individuals demand four more units of output-that the demand curve shifts to QD - 2P+24. Graph this new demand curve. At what values of P and Q does the new demand curve intersect the old supply curve-that is, where does QD = Qs ? c. Now finally, suppose the supply curve shifts to Q's=2P-8. Graph this new supply curve. At what values of P and Q does QD=Q's? Show all working calculations and label garph with…
