Let u(x) be a utility function that represents the preferences of a household. We say that the function v(x) is a monotonic transformation of u if f(·) is a strictly increasing function and v(x) = f(u(x)). (a) Show that if v(x) is a monotonic transformation of u, it represents the same preferences. (b) Can you explain why taking a monotonic transformation of a utility function does not change the marginal rate of substitution? (c) What kind of preferences are represented by a utility function of the form U(x1,x2) = ? What about the function U(x1,x2) = 13x1+13x2?
Suppose Al is currently consuming five movies and two concerts per month. If his utility function is given by U = 15MC, where Mrepresents the number of movies seen and C represents the number of concerts attended, Al's total utility is equal to: 75 15 150 10 30

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).

suppose a consumer consumes two goods x and y with utility function u=x^0.5+y^1.5, does the utility funciton exhibit diminishing marginal utility for (i) x (ii)y?
While visiting family in Mexico, your professor has a budget of $ 255 ($ = pesos) that he spends on tacos and tequila. The price of tacos is $ 6 and a shot of tequila is priced at $ 16. During his visit the price of tacos changes to $ 5. Assume your professor has a Cobb-Douglas utility function with (tacos) parameter a = ( 27 / 100). How many shots of tequila does your professor purchase ? (Assume both goods are commodities.) (Answer is : 11.63)
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. Calculate for the equivalent variation (EV) for the price change.
The utility function of a consumer is u = √x + 2y. (a) Calculate how much MRS of that consumer when x = 4. (b) If the consumer currently consumes 4 units of goods x and the price ratio of Px / Py = 1/4, then the consumer should increase or decrease the consumption of goods x?
Assume, as in Exercise 22.1, that a consumer has utility function F or fruit and chocolate. Determine the consumer's demand functions q1(P1, P2, M) and q2(P1, P2, M). Determine also It* in terms of P1, P2 and M. Find the indirect utility function and show that It* = 8Vj8M. Suppose, as before, that fruit costs $1 per unit and chocolate $2 per unit. If the income is raised from $36 to $36.5, determine the precise value of the resulting change in the indirect utility function. Show that this is approximately equal to (O.5)λ*, where λ* is evaluated at P1 = 1,P2 = 2 and M = 36. Exercise 22.1 A consumer purchases quantities of two commodities, fruit and chocolate, each month. The consumer's utility function is For a bundle (X1, X2) of X1 units of fruit and X2 units of chocolate. The consumer has a total of $49 to spend on fruit and chocolate each month. Fruit cost $1 per unit and chocolate costs $2 per unit. How many units of each should the consumer buy…
