1. Jim's preferences for pears and apples can be summarized by the following utility function: U(Xa,Xp)=XaXp where xa is the quantity of apples and xp is the quantity of pears. a) Draw an indifference curve for Jim by calculating a series of bundles that all produce the same level of "utility" and plotting them. Interpret the slope of the indifference curve (the marginal rate of substitution). b) Calculate the formula for Jim's marginal rate of substitution, as a function of apples and pears consumed.¹ c) What happens to the numeric value of Jim's marginal rate of substitution along an indifference curve (i.e., holds his utility constant) as he increases the number of pears he consumes and decreases the number of apples? For example, compare his MRS for a bundle consisting of 9 apples and 4 pears to his MRS for a bundle consisting of 9 pears and 4 apples and interpret the change. d) Suppose something increases Jim's desire for apples (for example, apples are found to reduce the risk of…

2. Vibha consumes three goods X, (shirts), X, (food in pounds), and X, (shelter in square feet). Vibha's utility function is given by: U (X,, X, X,) = 5ln Xt 3ln X + 2ln X, where In (x) or log. (x) is the natural logarithm. Vibha's weekly income is $100. Let the price of X, = P, = $10, the price of X, = P, = $2, and the price of X, = P; = $4. What is the equation for Vibha's budget constraint? а. b. |How many shirts, pounds of food, and square feet of shelter, will Vibha consume, as a rational consumer?
