Consider a consumer who is choosing between cake (c) and ice-cream (i). Their utility function is given by u(xc, x¡) = xx². Initially their income is m = 10, and prices are given by pe = 2 and p = 4. а. Solve for the consumer's demand functions for c and i, and calculate their demand at the prices given above. Right before a bank holiday, the price of cake increases to $4. Calculate the consumer's demand at these new prices. b. Calculate the income and substitution effect of this price change on demand for cake. с.

Pam is rich and at this high income level, her demand for good X is independent of income and given by X*=40.1- 5 px/py where px and py denote respectively the price of good X and the price of good Y. Assuming the price of good Y is equal to 1, find Pam's compensating variation if the price of good X rises from 2 to 4.3 dollars.
Find the change in the amount of good X Jenny buys.
Suppose that there are two goods, gl and g2, that Jane consumes. Demand functions for these two goods are given as follows: gl * = gl(pg1), pg2 ,Inc) g2 * = g2(pg1), pg2 ,Inc) where pg1, pg2 ,Inc refer prices of the goods and income, respectively. Explain and demonstrate (on the graph) the substitution and income effect for both an increase and decrease in price good g1. Use the notations given in the question.

Product M has a price of $7.95. If the Total Utility an individual receives from consuming 8 units of Product M is 249 and the Total Utility for consuming one fewer unit of Product M is 228, then what is the Marginal Utility per Price of the 8th unit of Product M? (Round your answer to 2 digits after the decimal.)
Mary has the following utility function: u(x, y) = 3 ln(x) + 2y. Her income is given by I = 10 and the prices originally are p = 1 and py = 2 (b) How much of each good is Mary currently consuming?
Xander has a utility function u(x,y) = xy and an income of M. Assume that the price of x is $4 and the price y is $2. If Xander's income rises from M = 104 to M = 152, what the resulting increase in demand for good x? increases by 6 units increases by 9 units increases by 11 units increases by 14.5 units
Assume the following expression summarizes an individual's demand for good #1: qª (P1, P2, Y) = 10 – pi + 2p2 – Y Currently, the individual's available income is $10 (y = 10), the price of good #1 is $8 (p1 = 8), and the price of good #2 is $5 (p2 = 5). Which one of the changes below would cause the largest increase in the individual's consumption of good #1? O The price of good #1 falls by 1% The price of good #1 increases by 1% The price of good #2 falls by 1% O The individual's income falls by 1%
Lan's utility function is U = xa y1-a where x denotes her consumption of good X, y denotes her consumption of good Y and a = 0.8. The price of good X is Px = 7, the price of good Y is Py = 14 and Lan's income is M = 338. If each price increases by 2 dollars, how much money must Lan be given to compensate her for the price increase?
Derive Ryan's demand function for q₁, given his utility function is where o = = (9₁) P + (9₂)P, 1 1-p The demand curve for q₁ as a function of P₁, P2, and Y is (Properly format your expression using the tools in the palette. Hover over tools to see keyboard shortcuts. E.g., a subscript can be created with the_ 9₁ = character.) U= Let the price of q₁ be p₁, let the price of q2 be p2, and let income be Y.
what problem could arise with consumers' net demand functions as any price becomes zero? what axiom of consumer theory is involved here? how might it be changed to exclude this possibility?
