- A consumer has an income of $400 and is deciding between two products: X and Y. Assume that the X product is the horizontal axis product. The price of X is $10 and the price of Y is $2. Assume the consumer currently wants to consume 50 units of product Y to maximize his utility. a) Write out the equation to this consumers budget line. What is the slope to this budget constraint? b) How much of X and Y will the consumer consume to maximize his utility subject to his budget constraint. C) Now assume the price of X changes to $5 and price of Y and Income stays the same. At the new price, the consumer wants to buy 60 units of product X to maximize her utility given her budget. How much X and Y will the consumer consume to maximize utility. g in the before and after the change of the budget constraint and indifference graph on the same graph space. Show all necessary points. Label clearly. ead oubstitutiofs. Draw d) Write out the expression of the utiiity maximizing ruie here.?1. Consider a consumer who consumes two goods. The utility function is given by u(x1, x₂) /2x1+1+√√√x₂, - where x > 0 denotes the amount of good i = the price of good 1 is 3, the price of good 2 is p2 > 0, and the income is 12. 1,2 consumed. Unless stated otherwise, (1) Calculate the marginal rate of substitution (measuring the value of good 1) at the consumption plan (x₁, x₂) = (3, 4). (2) Calculate the consumption plan that is optimal for the consumer. (3) Let v(p₂) denote the utility level at the optimal consumption plan. Calculate its derivative with respect to p2, i.e., v'(P2), at p2 = 3. (4) Suppose that p2 = 1 and the utility level is 10. Calculate the compensated demand for each good.1) Max chooses to purchase movie tickets and restaurant meals every week with his $100. If the price of a movie ticket is $20 and the price of a restaurant meal is $25, then the slope of his budget constraint will be, a) 1/5 b) -1/5 c) 4/5 d) -4/5 2) Marginal rate of substitution(MRS) is the rate at which consumer is willing to trade one good for another. It must be true that: a) MRS is the slope of an indifference curve in reference to a particular bundle of goods. b) MRS is not the same along an indifference curve that is of usual shape. c) MRS is same along an indifference curve that is of usual shape. d) Both a) and b).

Her preferences over these two goods can be represented by the utility function u(w, x) = 3w0.75 0.25 a) What is the optimal number of whistles for Julie to consume given this scenario? b) What is the level of utility Julie attains at this level of consumption? c) Suppose now that the price of whistles rises from $6 to $7. What is the magnitude of this price effect on whistles?Question #3 Please explain what are the substitution and income effects (a detailed response is expected).

Suppose the price of good y falls from £10 to £5. By how much does the demand for good y fall and how much of the resulting change in demand for good y is due to the substitution effect and how much is due to the income effect?

Suppose the price of apples is €2 per pound, the price of oranges is €3 per pound, and Bob's budget is $24 per week. What is Bob's utility maximizing choice between these two goods? A. 12 pounds of apples and no oranges B. 8 pounds of oranges and no apples C. 4 pounds of oranges and 6 pounds of apples D. 12 pounds of oranges and no apples Fiona uses her entire budget to purchase food and clothing. The price of food is €1 per unit and the price of clothing is €2 per unit. Fiona's marginal utility from food is 2 and her marginal utility from clothing is 6. She currently spends all her money on food and clothing. Her objective is to maximise her utility. Which of the following statements is correct? Fiona should buy more food and more clothing. A. B. C.
