Consider a change in price that is accompanied by a change in wealth that returns the consumer to his original level of utility. That is, starting from prices p and wealth w, the consumer obtains exactly the same utility after the change to prices p' and wealth w' as he had before the change. ) Express the wealth w' in terms of the original wealth w and either the compensating or equivalent variation of a change from prices p to p' keeping the wealth w fixed. Use your answer to part (a) to find, as a function of p, p', and w, the value of w' for a consumer with expenditure function e(p, u) = u² (2√P₁+ √P₂) ².

Suppose that the following utility function is given U(x,Y) = x+Y Which of the following is соrect? We have non-convex preferences since Law of diminishing Marginal Rate of Substitution holds and indifference curves are bowed inward towards the origin We have convex preferences since Law of diminishing Marginal Utility holds and indifference curves are bowed outward from the origin We have convex preferences since Law of diminishing Margina Rate of Substitution holds and indifference curves are bowed inward towards the origin We have convex preferences since Law of diminishing Marginal Rate of Substitution fails to hold and indifference curves are bowedinward towards the origin
John’s preferences for Orange (O) and lemons (L) are represented by the funtion U(O, L)= O+2L. The oranges cost £2 and the lemons £1. Given that John’s monthly income is £30 answer the following questions: What type of goods are oranges and lemons for John? What is the proportion to which John is willing to exchange Oranges for Lemons? Illustrate and solve graphically John’s utility maximization problem. If his income increases every month by £10, how will John’s consumption choice be affected? Illustrate graphically the income expansion path and the Engel curve for each good. How will an increase in the price of Lemons to £6 affect John’s optimal consumption choice? (John’s income is £30) Graph John’s demand curve for each good. Assume that John wins a voucher of £20, redeemable only in Oranges. How would this affect John’s utility? (Assume that prices and income are as described initially) Assume that John is presented with two options: an Orange voucher of £20 or just £6 to spend…

Utility maximization under constraint, substitution and income effect, CV and EV Josh gets utility (satisfaction) from two goods, A and B, according to the utility function U(A, B) = 4[A-4 + B-4-4 + 40. While Josh would like to consume as much as possible he is limited by his income. a. Maximize Josh's utility subject to the budget constraint using the Lagrangean method b. Suppose PA increases. Show graphically the income, substitution effect and total effect and explain c. Suppose PA increases. Show the graphs for CV and EV and explain. One graph for CV and one graph for EV
Consider an individual with preferences represented by the following utility function: U (x1, 12) = x{x; The individual faces prices: P1 = 0.5; p2 = 1 And has income: M = 250 If the price of good one increases to p1 =1 For this change in price, mark all of the following answers that are correct. (EV = equivalent variation; CV = compensating variation) O In absolute value, EV is greater than Cv O In absolute values, change in Consumer surplus is smaller than CV. O In absolute value, CV is greater than EV In absolute values, change in Consumer Surplus is smaller than EV. There is not enough information to determine an answer.
» Pauline spends her income in two goods: good x and good y. Her utility function is given by u(x, y) = min{, y}. Initially, the prices are P = 2 and P the price of y drops to P = 1, while the price of r remains the same as before; that is, P = 2. %3D 2, but then %3D Pauline's income is Mº = 12. (a) Compute the compensating variation associated to the drop in the price of y. (b) Compute the equivalent variation associated to the drop in the price of y.
A consumer's utility function is given by u (r_y) := r'/2y}/2 for any nonnegative x and y, representing the consumption quantities of goods x and y, respectively. Suppose that the price of good y is constantly ¢1, and that the consumer is given income m cedis (and nothing else). Denote p, for the price of good r. Based on the quantity demand (p, m) for good r. a. Given that p, > 1/(4m), calculate i (Pz, m) and (Pz, Py, m), then use the Slutsky equation to deduce what the substitution effect r° (pz, y) is equal to. b. Given that p, < 1/(4m), calculate i (P, m) and i (P2, Py, m), then use the Slutsky equation to deduce what the substitution effect r° (Pz; y) is equal to. c. What is your interpretation of the your result in a and b above?
