Pls help with thsi question Consider an Individual who buys films (F) and books (B) with the following utility function:?(?, ?) = 5? + 2?This individual also has the following incomes (m) and prices (pF and pB):? = $50, ?f= $5, ?b= $10Given the above:1) Draw the utility functions for utility levels of 10 and 20. Draw these with films on the x-axis and books on the y-axis. 2) What is the MRS for these utility functions? Assume that films remain on the x-axis andbooks remain on the y-axis. 3) What is the consumption bundle that delivers the highest level of utility that is alsoaffordable?
For questions 8-10 assume that Katy has preferences for sleeping and partying which can be 2SP2, described by the utility function U(S, P) = S² P² with marginal utilities MUS MUP 2PS?. Given Katy's utility function, the corresponding indifference curves slope upward/downward and become flatter/steeper O upward, flatter O upward, steeper downward, flatter O downward, steeper
Q12 please help quick Consider a utility function for apples and bananas. You are given the following three bundles: (12, 4), (4, 12), and (8, 8). Under the standard assumptions of the well-behaved preference relationship. you should strictly prefer (8, 8) to (12, 4) and (4, 12). Briefly explain why?
Assume the utility Janet obtains from consuming apples is given in table below. Number of Apples Total Utility Marginal Utility 1 7 7 2 13 6 3 18 5 4 22 4 5 25 3 6 27 2 28 1 28 0 27 -1 25 -2 7 8 9 10 a) What is the maximum satisfaction (total utility) she can obtain from consuming apples? b) Draw the graphs for Jane's total utility curve and marginal utility curve for apples c) If Janet is at her level of maximum utility from apple consumption, what will happen to her level of utility if she consumes an additional apple?
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…

Exercise 4. In the lectures we have been working the the CRRA utility function, u : R+ which we defined, for any n≥0, as → R, Prove that u(x): -{ 21--1 1-n if ŋE [0,1) U (1,∞) In a if n = 1. 2--1 lim == Inz. →1 1-7 (7) Hint: Use L'Hôpital's Rule. Exercise 5. Consider the following two-period optimization problem we studied in class: max u (x1)+ẞu (x2), s.t. x1+px2=y, (1.22)ER² (8) where u is given by (7), x; represents consumption of good i = {1,2}, ẞ € [0, 1] is the discount factor, p = R++ is the relative price of good 2 in terms of good 1, and y = R++ is income expressed in terms of good 1. For the following two questions, consider an arbitrary n > 0. 1. Find the bundle (1, 2) that solves (8). 2. Notice that the solution (1, 2) depends on the parameters (n,3,p,y), which the con- sumer takes as given. Derive the expressions for ǝr/Op and ǝx/Əp.

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 (9x9₂) = 9x + √√9₂ +9₂ You should assume income is Y, the price of good z is Pr, 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 (9) 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(P2, P₂). Hint: if solving using MRS = MRT, can use this information again in part (d).
