solutions. Question 1 Calculating MRS for CD Utility Functions (a) If a consumer has a CD utility function 0.4 0.6 U(91,92) = 994926, calculate MRS1,2.

(c) If a consumer has an utility function noltan asd Tor sympy ,1-α U(91,92) = 91 92 llib et (.) orde (hing aid tol bholup U(91,92) = a ln(91) + (1 - a) ln(92), diw sonuanos of calculate MRS1,2. Is it the same as the result in the previous part? (Note: Recall that we discussed the concept of ordinal utility in class, which means only the order of utility matters, not its magnitude. In function is a monotone transformation on the CD utility function. Notice that In (qq) = a ln(9₁) + (1 - a) ln(92). This example verifies that a monotone transformation does not change *(S) sidshav the consumer's indifference curves.) wobei/ (d)
Suppose Rosie's marginal utility from attending her 5th Atlanta Braves game was 40 and the marginal utility from attending her 1st Taylor Swift concert was 200. Assume that the price of a Braves ticket is $20 and the price of a Taylor Swift ticket is $120. Which of the following would be TRUE? 1) Rosie would attend more Taylor Swift concerts and fewer Braves games. 2) Rosie would attend more Braves games and fewer Taylor Swift concerts. 3) Rosie would not alter her behavior. 4) Rosie would attend less of both Braves games and Taylor Swift concerts.
