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.

Find the change in the amount of good X Jenny buys.
Suppose we observe that an individual's demand for good 1 is: 1/(2p,+p2) (where I- income). From this we can conclude that: Goods 1 and 2 are perfect complements O The price of good 1 is higher than the price of good 2 Two answers are correct O Goods 1 and 2 are perfect substitutes Three answers are correct No answer is correct Goods 1 and 2 are normal goods O These goods may be perfect substitutes or perfect complements, it depends upon the utility function

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.
Carlos has a utility function u(x.y) min { 4x, y} and an income of M. Let the price of good x and good y be $2.5 a unit. Find the consumer's optimal demand for good x? O M/6.5 O M/12.5 O M/14.4 O M/24
There are two goods, X and Y, available in arbitrary non-negative quan- tities (so the consumption set is R²). Beenish has preferences over consumption bundles that can be represented by a differentiable, strictly increasing and strictly quasi-concave utility function u R² → R+, given by u(x, y) = xªy¹-a where x is the quantity of good X, y is the quantity of good Y, and a € (0, 1) is a preference parameter. = 1. Suppose Beenish has 80 AED. In a nearby store (called "Store A"), the price of good X is p = 2 AED per unit of good X, and the price of good Y is q 8 AED per unit of good Y. However, Beenish also has a time constraint. At Store A, it takes tx 4 minutes per unit to purchase good X and ty 1 minutes per unit to purchase good Y. That means, purchasing a consumption bundle (x, y) = R² at Store A would take 4x + y minutes. Beenish has only 80 minutes to do her shopping. = (a) In an appropriate diagram, illustrate Beenish's constraint set, given that she has both a monetary…

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
Question 3 3.1 Slutsky's equation relates the Marshallian demand function to the Hicksian demand func- tion, and therefore provides a way in which to decompose the total effect of a price change on quantity demanded into the substitution and income effects. Provide an expression for the general Slutsky equation of a good (x;) with respect to changes in the price of x;, and clearly label the total effect, substitution effect and income effect. 3.2 Now consider the case of a consumer with Cobb-Douglas indirect utility function v(р, у) (1-a) and Hicksian demand function for good 1 * (p, u) P2 ( Pi = au Pi P2 Demonstrate that the Slutsky equation holds for the own-price effect for good r1-
