- Typed and correct answer please. I will ra3. Consider a home energy storage (battery) system that can store up to 2 units of energy. At every time step, there is a demand for energy in the home which is drawn from 0,1,2 units with equal probability independent of the demands in the previous time steps. At every point in time, you have to satisfy the demand either by discharging the needed energy from the battery or purchasing power from the grid (or a combination of the two). You could also choose to purchase power from the grid to charge your battery. The grid energy price is either H(igh) or L(ow) according to a Markov chain (Price moves from H to L with probability p, and from L to H with probability q). (a) Model the decision making as an infinite horizon MDP where the objective is to minimize the discounted cost of energy purchased over an infinite horizon. (b) Write down a policy a of your choosing. Perform two steps of the operator T, for your policy, followed by one step of T..Ewa spends all her 600 PLN bonus on the purchase of sweets and cosmetics. Draw the Ewa's budget line, knowing that her favorite sweets cost PLN 10 per pack and the price of cosmetics is PLN 25. •How will Ewa's situation be affected by the PLN 50 bonus increase? •What will happen if the price of cosmetics increases to PLN 30? •How, from the point of view of initial situation, we will evaluate the following quantitative combinations: –30 packages of sweets and 15 cosmetics –60 packages of sweets and 24 cosmetics –20 packages of sweets and 10 cosmetics –10 packages of sweets and 15 cosmetics

Utility equals the product of two terms: the first term is units of good 1 raised to the .25 power; and, the second term is units of good 2 raised to the .75 power. The price per unit of good 1 is $8; the price per unit of good 2 is $4: and, consumer income is $1600. Marginal utility of good 1 equals the product of three terms: the first term is .25; the second term is units of good 2 raised to the !75 power; the third term is units of good 1 raised to the -75 power. Marginal utility of good 2 equals the product of three terms: the first term is .75: the second term is units of good 1 raised to the .25 power; the third term is units of good 2 raised to the -.25 power.
