As a college student you work at a part-time job, but your parents also send you a monthly allowance. Suppose one month your parents forgot to send the check. Show graphically how your budget constraint is affected. Assuming you only buy normal goods, what would happen to your purchases of goods?
Jack derives utility from Hokey course (H) and Chess course (C) as given by the following utility function:U (H, C) = √HCThe average price for the hokey course is 20 dollars and for chess course16 dollars. Moreover, Jack has a budgetof 80 dollars. c) Find the income level which is necessary to make Jack reach the same utility level as before theprice change.d) Compute the quantities demanded with the new prices and the income you found in section c.e) Compute the quantities demanded with the new prices and the original budget of 800 dollars.
Candance’s general budget constraint for the two goods is a follow: B= PxX + PyY Also, her marginal utilities are: MUx =30X^2Y^3 and MUy =30X^3Y^2 A. Derive the Hicksian demand for good X at these prices. Hint, you need to choosethe three correct equations you’ve derived above and solve simultaneously. Also,draw both demand curves on the same graph.B. Using the information derived in parts A and B, what is the substitution effect andincome effect obtained when changing the price of good X from a value of 1 to avalue of 2.
Pankti consumes two goods, x and y. Her utility function is given byU(x, y) = ln(xy).(a) Are Pankti’s preferences homothetic? Explain.(b) Suppose when Pankti’s income is 12, her optimal bundle consists of 2 units of x and 6units of good y. Without solving for Pankti’s Marshallian demands for x and y,determine how her consumption of x and y would change if her income doubled(holding constant the prices of the goods). Justify your answer as well as you are able.(c) Find an expression for Pankti’s indirect utility function, V (px, py, m), using themethod of Lagrange multipliers. Confirm your answer to part (b) using theMarshallian demands you derive in the process of solving the optimization process.(d) Suppose the price of good x is 2 and the price of good y is 2. Find Pankti’s utilitywhen her income is 24. Now suppose the price of good x doubles to 4. How much extraincome does Pankti need to obtain the same level of utility she had prior to the priceincrease?
Answer the following short questions:a. Suppose that a consumer’s preferences between goods x andy are represented by the utility function u(x, y) = x^2 + 16xy + 64y^2. If these two goods have the same price, describe the optimal consumptionchoice of this consumer.b. Suppose that when the price of a good change, the incomeand substitution effects change the consumer’s demand for that goodin opposite directions.i. Is this good a normal or an inferior good? Explain.ii. Is this good a Giffen or an ordinary good? Explain.c. Is the following statement true or false? The differencebetween a monopolist’s marginal cost and its profit-maximizing price issmaller when the demand is more elastic.
5. Consider a consumer whose utility function isu(x,y) = sqrt(xy) (MRS(x,y)=y/x)a. Assume the consumer has income $120 and initially faces the prices px = $1 and py = $1. Howmuch x and y would they buy? Draw the budget constraint and the demands. b. Next, suppose the price of x were to increase to $2. How much would they buy now? Draw thisin the same figure.c. Decompose the total effect of the price change on demand for x into the substitution effect and theincome effect. That is, determine precisely how much of the change is due to each of thecomponent effects. (Hint: See the lecture notes for the two properties that determine the locationof “z”, the reference point for distinguishing the income and substitution effects.)
Ques 1. Sally consumes two goods, X and Y. Her utility function is given by the expression U=3XY2. The marginal utility of X and marginal utility of Y are given by the following equations: MUX=3Y2 and MUY=6XY The current market price for X is $10, while the market price for Y is $5. Sally's current income is $500. A) Draw out Sally’s budget line. (show the points where it meets the vertical and horizontal axes) B) Determine the X,Y combination which maximizes Sally's utility, given her budget constraint. (Partial units for the quantities are possible.) [Hint: One of the ways to do this is to use the equal marginal principle to find the optimal ratio of X to Y and then use that in the budget equation]. C) How much is Sally’s utility? Now the price of X increases to $15. What is the ratio in which she will consume X and Y ?
Suppose the linear demand curve for shirtsslopes downward and that consumers buy 500 shirts per yearwhen the price is $30 and 1,000 shirts per year when the priceis $25.a. Compared to the prices of $30 and $25, what can you sayabout the marginal valuation that consumers place on the300th shirt, the 700th shirt, and the 1,200th shirt they mightbuy each year?b. With diminishing marginal utility, are consumers derivingany consumer surplus if the price is $25 per shirt? Explain.c. Use a market demand curve to illustrate the change in consumersurplus if the price drops from $30 to $25.
27. Mike spends all his income on films (F) and concerts (C). Films cost $10 and concertscost $30. Mike’s preferences can be described by the utility function: U = F C and hence themarginal utility of films is C and the marginal utility of concerts is F. Which of the followingbundle will Mike purchase? (Hint: You do not need to know income in $ amount. Answerthe question using the tangency condition.)(a) Mike purchases 30 concerts and 10 films a month.(b) Mike purchases 10 concerts and 30 films a month.(c) Mike purchases 20 concerts and 20 films a month.(d) Mike purchases 5 concerts and 10 films a month.
