Penelope utility function is U (a, b) = a+ 10b−b2, where a is the amount of applesconsumed and b is the amount of bananas consumed. He has $100 income. Theprice of apple is $0.5 per lb. Price of banana’s though increases with its purchase.Specifically, buying, b pounds of bananas will cost Pedro b2.a. What is Penelopes optimal consumption?b. Now, he suddenly acquires an extra $100 income. How this will changehis allocation?
Ben and Jerry are a pair of kids that appreciate the finer things in life: chocolate chips (xc) and bubble gum (xg). Ben's utility function over chocolate chips and bubble gum is UB (X, Xg) = xcxg and Jerry's is UI (Xc, xg) = 2xcxg. Ben has an initial endowment of 8 chocolate chips and 1 piece of bubble gum, Jerry's initial endowment is 2 chocolate chips and 3 pieces of bubble gum. They are unable to make trades with anyone else. Normalize the price of bubble-gum and solve for the competitive allocation. b. Suppose that Ben and Jerry know how much of each good they would get to consume at the competitive allocation. In the absence of prices, would they voluntarily agree to this allocation given their initial endowments? Explain. a.
Assume you consume two goods, X and Y. Your utility function is U = 2X + 4Y. Let PX= $4, PY= $2, and assume that your income is $100. What's your optimal consumption of Y?
Please get this right. People keep getting wrong. Thank you.
Please answer every part. 4. Consider an economy consisting of two individuals, Ann and Bob, and two goods, scotch and wine. Aun has 5 bottles of scoteh and 2 bottles of wine as her endowment, while Bob has 3 bottles of each. Suppose their preferences are described by the following utility functions uA(s, w) = sw and up(s, w) = s'u. Assume also that the prices of goods scotch and wine are represented by P,= 1 (scotch is the mumeraire), and P>0. a. Sketch the Edgeworth box of the economy with Ann at the lower left corner and Bob at the upper right corner; scotch on the horizontal axis, and wine on the vertical axis. Indicate the endowment point e in the box. b. Write the budget lines for Ann and Bob. e. Solve Ann's utility maximization problem. Expross Ann's optimal consumption bundle in terms of P. d. Solve Bob's utility maximization problem. Express Bob's optimal consumption bundle in terms of P. e. Define competitive equilibrium. Compute and plot the CE for this problem.
Refer to figure. Suppose the consumer is endowed with 10 units of orange and consumes 5 units of apple. The price of the apple decreases and at the new price the consumer consumes 9 units of apple. The change in the demand for apples due to the endowment effect is equal to_____
Malcom only consumes 2 goods - Good A and Good B. His budget constraint is 4A+2B=400, which means Good A's cost is $4 per unit, Good B's cost is fixed at $2 per unit, and income is fixed at $400. However, Good A's cost is not fixed, with the condition that if Malcom consumes more than 5 units of Good A, Good A would cost him $5 per unit. Thus if he does consume more than 5 units of Good A, his budget constraint would be 5A+2B=400 (a). How does Malcom's optimal choice change? Explain in full detail. (b) How does Malcom's well-being change? Explain in full detail.

Part 1: Illustrate general equilibrium and the Laffer curve in the context of a repre- sentative consumer with a utility function: U(C,1) = In(C) + In(1) that he or she maximises subject to a constraint: C= w(1- t)(h – 1) + * where w, h,1, C, t and r are wages, hours of time available, leisure, eonsumption, tax rate, and dividend income. The production function for this economy is given by Y = C+G = A(h – 1)/2 Assume that h = 1, A = 1 and that the government has a balanced budget. (a) Find the equilibrium by matching the Marginal Rate of Substitution to the Marginal Rate of Transformation and then substitute into the constraint. Also take into account that profits are non-zero for this setup. (b) Plot the government tax revenue for 0
Adam's Utility at Optimal Consumption Bundle Given Adam's utility function U = 4x0.8y 0.2 And the optimal consumption bundle found previously (X= 40, Y = 30), substitute these values into the utility function. U = 4 \times 400.8 \times 300.2 U = 4 \times 19.127 \times 300.2 U = 76.5 \times 1.97 U = 151 Adam's utility at his optimal consumption bundle is 151. C. The Lagrange multiplier at the optimal consumption bundle can be interpreted as the marginal utility of income, or how much additional utility Adam would gain from an additional unit of currency. From the Lagrange multiplier method, dL = 3.2X-0.20.2 - 451 = 0 dt = 0.8x087-08-151 = 0 Using equation 1, 3.2 \times 40-0.2 \times 300.2= 452 45= 3.2.40-0.2 300.2 452 = 32 = 0.067 d. Budget Constraint Line PX. X + PY. Y = B With PX = £45, PY = £15, and B = £2,250, this becomes 45X + 15Y= 2,250. Set Y to 0 in the budget equation, 45X = 2250, X = 50. The X-intercept is at (50, 0). Set X to 0, 15Y = 2250, Y = 150. The Y-intercept is at (0,…
