Consider the following utility function for Mia: U(x₁x₂)=x²x2 where the prices of each good are P₁ = 3; P₂ = 5 and income is given by M=135. What will be the size of the Hicksian substitution effect if there is an increase in the price of good x₁ from £3 to £6? O Holding utility constant, good x₁ will fall from 22.5 units to approximately 19.7 units, while good x2 will increase from 13.5 units to approximately 15.8 units. O Good x₁ will rise from 22.5 units to approximately 26.5 units, while good x2 will increase from 13.5 units to approximately 15.8 units. O Good x₁ will fall from 22.5 units to approximately 16.9 units, while good x2 will remain constant at 13.5 units. O Holding utility constant, good x₁ will fall from 25 units to approximately 18.8 units, while good x2 will increase from 15 units to approximately 22.5 units. O Good x₁ will fall from 22.5 units to approximately 15.9 units, while good x2 will increase from 13.5 units to approximately 19.1 units.

Marvin has a Cobb-Douglas utility function, 0.5 0.5 U= 91 92 his income is Y = $900, and initially he faces prices of p₁ = $1 and p2 = $4. If p₁ increases from $1 to $2, what are his compensating variation (CV), change in consumer surplus (ACS), and equivalent variation (EV)? Marvin's change in consumer surplus (ACS) is $ minus sign if necessary.) Marvin's compensating variation (CV) is $.

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.

John has $300 as income and he uses his income only for apples and bananas. If he uses his income only for apples, he can buy 10 pounds. If he uses his income only for bananas, he can buy 15 pounds. Which one is the correct formula for his budget constraint when X=pounds of apples, Y=pounds of bananas and the prices are per pound? a) More information is needed to answer the question. b) 15X + 10Y = 300 c) 10X + 15Y = 300 d) 20X + 30Y = 300 e) 30X + 20Y = 300
A consumer has a (direct) utility function over x1 and x2: u(x₁, x2) = x₁x2.5 The price of good 1 is p1=1; the price of good 2 is p2=2; and the consumer has m=24 in income. Indicate which of the following statements is true. Select one: O Demand for good 1 is equal to 24. O Demand for good 2 is equal to 6. O Indirect utility function is equal to 32. O The consumer will demand 0 units of good 2. O None of the statements is correct.
