Suppose the utility function for goods x and y is given Utility = U(x,y) = xy +y Suppose price of both x and y is $1. You have total $10 to spend. Suppose price of x changed to $0.5. Price of y and your disposable income remain the same: a. calculates the change in the amount of good x, that is caused by the substitution effect (the effect on consumption due to a change in price holding real income or utility constant). b. calculate the change in the amount of good x, that is caused by the income effect (the effect on consumption due to a change in real income caused by a change in price).
Let U(x, y) = 3x + y be the utility function of a consumer, whohas a budget of I. As a function of I, find the consumer’s Walrasian demand when the prices are px = py = 1. The price of good x increases to 2, find the new Walrasian demand for the new prices px = 2 and py = 1. Decompose this change into an income and a substitution effect.

Let m denote the consumer's income, p denote the price of good x and let the price of good y equal 1. A) Find the Marshallian demand functions for goods x and y. B) Show how each of the demand function is affected by a change in the price of good x. C) Which of the goods is an inferior good?
Let a consumer's utility function be U (x, y) = x'/²y/2. The consumer's income is I = 160 and prices for the two goods are, respectively, p, = 1 and py = 4. (a) Write down the utility maximization problem and compute the optimal consumption basket. (b) Suppose now the price of good y is equal to p, = 16 (while the price of good r stays constant). Compute the new optimal consumption basket.

A consumer's utility function is given by (x₁+x₂); with MU and MU wherex, and x, denote the quantities of good 1 and good 2 consumed. 1 2 Calculate the utility maximizing quantity of good 1 if income is 397, price for good 1 is 6 and price for good 2 is 8. Please round your answer to the closest integer.
Bob has utility function U(x,y)=x2+y over goods x and y a) Do we have a name for this type of utility function? Are Bob's preferences well-behaved? b) Let Bob have budget I=$60, and let prices be Px=$30, Py=$10. Find Bob's optimal basket of goods x and y. Is this an interior or corner solution? c) What will happen if the price of good y doubles? [Think about: can we use this utility function to describe preferences over pet snakes and pet mice?]
