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…

The figure to the right represents the demand for ice cream cones. Which of the following statements is true? O A. Points a and b may not necessarily be the utility - maximizing quantities of ice cream cones at two different prices because we have no information on the consumer's budget or the price of other goods. B. Points a and b are the utility - maximizing quantities of ice cream cones at two different prices of ice cream. O C. Points a and b are derived independently of the utility - maximizing model. O D. Point a could be a utility - maximizing choice if the price is $3 but point b may not be because we have no information on the marginal utility per dollar when price changes.
