Consider two consumers, A and B, who consume two goods, x and y. Assume that the utility function for A is UA = Ay and the utility function for Bis UB= XBYB. Consumer A is endowed with 10 units of x an 10 units of y. Consumer B is endowed with 10 units of x and 40 units of y. Assume the price of y is set to $1. What is the expression for Consumer A's demand for x? O x² = XA 10p, +10 Pa 10p, +40 P

a. Determine the demand functions of x and y in the case of a Cobb-Douglas type utility function, in the following cases: α=0.40;β=0.60 Graph the demand functions of the two goods (price as a function of quantity) assuming the individual's income is $500 - Determine what is the quantity demanded of x and y, if the price of good x is USD 1, the price of good y is USD 4, and income is USD 500 - Now, explain what happens to the quantity demanded if the prices of the goods are doubles holding income constant.
1. Kofi consumes two goods (x) and (y). The following utility function represents his preferences: u(x, y) = 0.4 ln x+0.6 ln y Br Paxt by Y Suppose the prices of the two goods (x and y) are p, and p, and his budget is M. You are required to do the following: a) Specify Kofi's budget set. - b) Derive the Marshallian demand function for each of the two commodities c) Derive the indirect utility function and verify the Roy's identity. d) How many units of each of the two commodities will be consumed by Kofi if his income is GHS100.00 and p. = 1; p, = 2?
Suppose that consumers' preferences are well behaved in that properties 4-1 to 4-4 (completeness, more is better, diminishing marginal rate of substitution, and transitivity) are satisfied. Furthermore, assume that X is a normal good, Y is an inferior good, and the price of good X increases. Then the substitution effect will lead consumers to consume Multiple Choice O more of good X and more of good Y. Oless of good X and more of good Y. O less of good X and less of good Y. more of good X and less of good Y.
Consider a situation with two goods. Which of the following statements are true, which are false? If a good is a Giffen good, then it is an inferior good. O True O False A good is a Giffen good if the demand for this good decreases O True False when income increases. A good is an inferior good if the demand for this good increases when its price increases. O True False
2. Sam's is interested in two goods, X and Y. His indirect utility function is U* = M px-0.7 py0.7-1. ( same as U* = M /(px0.7 py1-0.7 ) ) where M is Sam's income, and px and py denote respectively the price of good X and the price of good Y. Sam's market demand function for good X is X*=0.7M/px . Find the absolute value of the change in Sam's consumers surplus if the price of good X rises from 1 to 8 dollars due to a per-unit tax imposed by the government, assuming his income is M=533 and price of good Y is equal to 4.

Arya only consumes two goods: X and Y. When the price of X changes, the income effect and the substitution effect for X move in opposite directions. In addition, the income effect for X dominates the substitution effect. X must be: a) a Giffen good for Arya. b) an inferior good for Arya. c) a normal good for Arya. O d) perfect substitutes for Arya. O e) Both a and b are true.

Nicanor's passion is good wine. If the prices of the other goods are constant, Nicanor's demand for a good Rioja is c = 0.04m – 2p, where m is his income, p is the price of Rioja and c is the demand for Rioja bottles. Assume that Nicanor has an income of $10,000 and that the price of a decent bottle of Rioja is $50. If the price of Rioja rises to $60, determine the income effect and the substitution effect on the demand for bottles of Nicanor wine.
The figure to the right represents the demand for ice cream cones. Which of the following statements is true? O A. Points a and b may not necessarily be the utility - maximizing quantities of ice cream cones at two different prices because we have no information on the consumer's budget or the price of other goods. B. Points a and b are the utility - maximizing quantities of ice cream cones at two different prices of ice cream. O C. Points a and b are derived independently of the utility - maximizing model. O D. Point a could be a utility - maximizing choice if the price is $3 but point b may not be because we have no information on the marginal utility per dollar when price changes.
