1. This question will let you examine/explore a more interesting utility func- tion than the simple example discussed in class as there will be both cross-price elas- ticity and an inferior good. Suppose you are told a consumer has the following utility function: U (9219₂) = 9z+√9z+ 9₂ You should assume income is Y, the price of good r is P2, and the price of good z is P₂. This question will ask about several concepts discussed in lecture. (a) What is the Marshallian demand for goods x and z? I.e. find (qq) for both interior solutions and corner solutions. Note: the outcome is "ugly" for the interior section and both corner should include constraints, i.e. limits using Y relative to f(P, P₂). Hint: if solving using MRS = MRT, can use this information again in part (d). (b) Suppose you are told P₂ = $8 and P₂ = $1. Create a graph showing the Income Consumption Curve (ICC) for Y = {$12.25, $35, $49, $70, $98). Be sure to clearly label the graph. Based on the ICC, which of the goods is…
just do part c and explain it
Could you just do part c and explain.
Given that utility function for a consumer is given by u = (x-3)2 + (y-4)2, draw any twoindifference curves for this consumer while clearly labelling the higher one as ‘H’ and lower oneas ‘L’. Does he prefer more of a good to less of it? Does he prefer averages to extremebundles? Explain.

This question will let you examine/explore a more interesting utility func- tion than the simple example discussed in class as there will be both cross-price elas- ticity and an inferior good. Suppose you are told a consumer has the following utility function: U (9x9₂) = 9x + √√9₂ +9₂ You should assume income is Y, the price of good z is Pr, and the price of good z is P₂. This question will ask about several concepts discussed in lecture. (a) What is the Marshallian demand for goods x and z? I.e. find (9) for both interior solutions and corner solutions. Note: the outcome is "ugly" for the interior section and both corner should include constraints, i.e. limits using Y relative to f(P2, P₂). Hint: if solving using MRS = MRT, can use this information again in part (d).
