Based on these data, describe the relevant relationship between the price of a hamburger and the quantity consumers are willing to purchase, using a verbal statement, a numerical table, and a graph. Which model do you prefer? Why?
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?

In other words, Reese likes to eat either peanut butter or chocolate, but when he eats them together, he gets additional satisfaction from the combination.
