The goods prices in city A are pf and p, and the wage rate wa. Suppose h is fixed. Use the Lagrangean method to derive the (a) Marshallian demand functions, taking h as given. (b) Now suppose Hailey can choose h. Solve for the optimal h. Then derive the Marshallian demand functions and the indirect utility function. Show that the Marshallian functions are homogeneous of degree zero in prices and wage rate. That is, x; (tpi, tp, twa) = x; (p, p, wa) , i = 1,2 for any t

The following figure shows the demand curve of commodity x (for a level of income W and the prices of the other commodities constant). The income effect due to an increase in the price of commodity x from 10 to 11 is: Positive Cannot be determined from the graph. Negative Dominated by the substitution effect Could be positive or negative.

Find Lola's optimal consumption bundle when px = 6. (b.) Find Lola's demand for x as a function of p,, assuming the price can be any non- negative amount.
Question 3 3.1 Slutsky's equation relates the Marshallian demand function to the Hicksian demand func- tion, and therefore provides a way in which to decompose the total effect of a price change on quantity demanded into the substitution and income effects. Provide an expression for the general Slutsky equation of a good (x;) with respect to changes in the price of x;, and clearly label the total effect, substitution effect and income effect. 3.2 Now consider the case of a consumer with Cobb-Douglas indirect utility function v(р, у) (1-a) and Hicksian demand function for good 1 * (p, u) P2 ( Pi = au Pi P2 Demonstrate that the Slutsky equation holds for the own-price effect for good r1-
