Considering, QDx = - 4Px -0.02R + 2Pz, and assuming that the individual's income (R) is equal to $600, and the price of the good z (Pz) equals $10, if the individual's income (R) reduce to $300, will the individual's demand for good x increase or decrease? CALCULATE and GRAPHICALLY ILLUSTRATE the behavior of demand for good x. Then inform what kind of property this is.

Dan's utility function is U(x,y) =9.5 x2.4y4.9. Dan's income is 129.1 dollars, the price of good X is 4.8 and the price of good Y is 6.3, What is the slope of Dan's income expansion path, dy/dx, on a graph where good X appears on the horizontal axis and good Y appears on the vertical axis. Remember not to enter ratios below, such as 3/4, 2/9 etc. Instead enter the number in decimal form.
An individual consumes two goods, X and Y, and receives utility according to a Cobb-Douglas production function of the form: U(X,Y)= X1/3Y2/3. Give that MUX= 13(MUYMUX)2/3 and MUY= 23(MUXMUY)1/3 find the consumers optimal demand functions for X and Y in terms of PX, PY, and I. Explain why I could have solved the problem above using the utility function U(X,Y)= XY2 and would have obtained the same answer. What is it about utility that makes this possible?     Economists define the ‘certainty equivalent’ of a risky stream of income as the amount of guaranteed money an individual would accept instead of taking a risk. The certainty equivalent varies between individuals based on their risk preference.
Please refer to the following information to answer the question (in bold) below: You enjoy consuming apples (A) and oranges (O). Suppose that your utility function over both goods is given by Your marginal utility function for apples is . Your marginal utility function for oranges is U (A, O) = AO³ MUA = 0³ MUO 3A0² . Currently, the price of apples is $10/peck, the price of oranges is $5/pound, and your income is $160. Assume that apples are your horizontal axis good and oranges are your vertical axis good. = When you set up the optimal decision rule for your consumer problem, which of the following statements best describes how much you will buy of apples and oranges at your consumer equilibrium? For each peck of apples, you will buy 1/3 pounds of oranges. For each peck of apples, you will buy 1 pounds of oranges. O For each peck of apples, you will buy 3 pounds of oranges. O For each peck of apples, you will buy 6 pounds of oranges.

Clarice has a utility function: U(Y) = 1000 - (100/Y), where Y is her income. clarice has just graduated from college and has a career choice for her first job of either working as a teacher and earning $40,000 or trying to become a theatre lighting director and earning $70,000 (if there is growth in the demand for theatre) or $20,000 (if there isn't growth in the demand for theatre). there is a 50% probability of growth. a consulting firm guarantees Clarice that it already knows whether there will be growth in the demand for theatre next year. what is the maximum amount Clarice should be willing to pay for this information?

Lan's utility function is U = xa y1-a where x denotes her consumption of good X, y denotes her consumption of good Y and a = 0.8. The price of good X is Px = 7, the price of good Y is Py = 14 and Lan's income is M = 338. If each price increases by 2 dollars, how much money must Lan be given to compensate her for the price increase?
Bread and doughnuts: The consumer receives positive benefits from the consumption of beans (B) and donuts (K). Utility function of the consumer is the following: U(B,K) = 100∙B0.25 · K0.75 The price of beans (can) is ISK 2,000. but the price of a donut (box) is ISK 4,000. Consumption restrictions are placed on the consumer since his income is ISK 400,000. Put on all form donuts on the x-axis and beans on the y-axis. a) Show an equation for the bean's success rate for a single donut in light of the utility function. Draw the equivalence curve on a picture and explain what the equation is performance ratio is stated at each point on the equivalence curve. Explain with the concept of the efficiency ratio of the curvature of the equivalent curve. b) Find the most efficient consumption combination and draw on the diagram. c) The government decides to support the consumption of beans so its price drops to 1,000. Who is the most economical consumption combination based on the changed price…
