- Denote the consumption of food by x and the consumption of all other goods by y. The demand for food as a function of prices and income is given by: Qx(px,py,W)=5W/8px. Suppose that W=100, px=3, and py=5. The change in consumption of food that is caused by a 2% increase in W is approximately: An increase of 2% in demand of y. There is no change. A decrease of 2% in demand of y. A decrease of 2% in demand of x. An increase of 2% in demand of x.Consider the following utility function and budget constraint: U = (beer^.4)*(pizza ^.6) 50 = 2*pizza + 1* beer Suppose now the government places a 1 - dollar tax on beer.

- Assuming that the point of satiation has not been reached, as a person consumes additional units of a good, one would expect the person's marginal utility from consuming the good to and the person's total utility from consuming additional units of the good to decrease... decrease increase... increase increase... decrease increase...remain constant decrease... increasea) Illustrate the consumption choice for an individual when two goods are considered "perfect substitutes" in consumption2. Consider a small island economy where the government is contemplating imposing a tax on bananas to raise revenue for public projects. The islanders' utility from consuming bananas (B) and coconuts (C) is given by the Cobb-Douglas utility function: U(B, C)=B°C1-a where a = 0.3. (a) Write down the consumer's optimization problem and derive the demand functions for bananas and coconuts. (b) Suppose the initial prices are PB $2 and Pc = = $4, and the consumer's income is I = $100. Calculate the initial quantities of bananas and coconuts consumed. (c) Calculate the compensating variation (CV) and equivalent variation (EV) for a tax rate of t = $0.50. Interpret your results in terms of the impact on consumer welfare. (d) Determine the tax revenue per consumer after the tax is imposed, assuming supply is perfectly elastic so the tax falls entirely on consumers. (e) Compare the impacts on consumer welfare between a flat tax equal to the revenue found in part (d) and the per-unit tax.
