### Understanding Marshallian and Hicksian Elasticities#### Question 1:An individual has the following utility function, \( U = \ln X + 2 \ln Y \). What do we know about the Marshallian and Hicksian demand elasticities of good \( x \) with respect to the price of \( x \)?- **a. Marshallian elasticity \( \varepsilon_{x, p_x} \) will be more negative than Hicksian elasticity \( \varepsilon^c_{x, p_x} \).**- b. Marshallian elasticity \( \varepsilon_{x, p_x} \) will be less negative than Hicksian elasticity \( \varepsilon^c_{x, p_x} \).- c. Marshallian elasticity \( \varepsilon_{x, p_x} \) will be the same as Hicksian elasticity \( \varepsilon^c_{x, p_x} \).- d. Marshallian elasticity and Hicksian elasticity will have opposite signs.*Selected answer: a*#### Explanation:Marshallian (or uncompensated) and Hicksian (or compensated) elasticities measure the responsiveness of demand to price changes. The Marshallian demand elasticity \( \varepsilon_{x, p_x} \) usually accounts for both income and substitution effects, while the Hicksian demand elasticity \( \varepsilon^c_{x, p_x} \) considers only the substitution effect. Given the income effect is typically negative, the Marshallian elasticity is often more negative than the Hicksian elasticity.---### Demand and Elasticity in Utility Functions#### Question 2:An individual has the utility function \( U(X, Y) = X^{1/3}Y^{2/3} \). Which of the following is true?- **a. Demand for \( X \) and \( Y \) have constant expenditure shares \( s_X \) and \( s_Y \).**- b. The income effect for both goods is 0.- c. \( X \) and \( Y \) are net complements.- d. The own-price substitution effect of \( x \) ( \( \partial h_x / \partial p_x \) ) is 0.*Selected answer: a*#### Explanation:The given utility function \( U(X, Y) = X^{1/3}Y^{2/3} \) is a Cobb-Douglas utility function. For such functions,
