- Eren’s two main hobbies are taking vacations overseas (V) and eating expensivemeals (M). His utility function is given as: U(V,M) = V2MLast year, the average price of taking a vacation overseas was US$200 and the averageprice of an expensive meal is $50. However, due to supply problems in Onions, theaverage price of an expensive meal rose to $75. The average price of a vacation did notchange. His income, which is $1500, did not change. Suppose that the Department of Welfare wants to know how much should begiven to Eren to offset his change un utility due to the price increase of an expensivemeal. Calculate the compensative variation (CV).Eren’s two main hobbies are taking vacations overseas (V) and eating expensivemeals (M).

However, due to supply problems in Onions, theaverage price of an expensive meal rose to $75. The average price of a vacation did notchange. His income, which is $1500, did not change. Calculate the change in consumer surplus from consuming the expensivemeals considering the price change (Hint: you need to compare his optimalconsumption bundle before and after the price change to get the change in CS).

Is the marginal utility of y diminishing?Consider the utility functionU(x, y) = min{x, 2y}Find(a) the Marshallian demand functions for x and y,(b) the indirect utility function,(c) Use the expression for the indirect utility function that your found in part (b) to findthe expenditure function and the Hicksian demand for good x. [Note: Do not answerthis question by solving the expenditure minimization problem!]Consider an economy with two goods, consumption c and leisure 1, and a representative consumer. The consumer is endowed with 24 hours of time in a day. A consumer's daily leisure hours are equal to 1 = 24-h where h is the number of hours a day the consumer chooses to work. The price of consumption p is equal to 1 and the consumer's hourly wage is w. The consumer faces an ad valorem tax on their earnings of 7 percent. The con- sumer also receives some exogenous income Y that does not depend on how many hours she works (e.g. an inheritance). The consumer's preferences over consumption and hours of work can be represented by the utility function U(c, h) = c-3h¹+, where 3 > 0 and p > 0 are parameters. 1+p

Show the optimal choice in this case on a well-labelled graph of the budget set. Include an indifference curve consistent with these preferences. c) Now keep income at 20, and pi = 1, but set p2 - 2.
