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.
4. Consider the following two-good utility function: u(x1, x2) xi+ Vx2. Answer the questions set out below. 'Tip: Go back to the definition of monotonic transformations on page 17 (theorem 1.2) to confirm that the transformation is effected by a strictly increasing function, in other words if v(x, u) = f(u(x, y)), ƒ is a strictly increasing function on the set of values taken on by u. 1 (a) What information is contained in the marginal rate of substitution of a utility function (apart from the fact that it represents the slope of the indifference curves)? Derive the marginal rate of substitution for the utility function u(x1, x2) above. (b) Explain why Hicksian demand functions are often referred to as "compensated demand functions". (c) If the corresponding budget constraint is given by y = P1x1 + P2x2, show that the con- sumer's Hicksian demand functions are x† (p, u) = („)´u² and x (p, u) = „) u? P2 pi+p2, Pi+p2 respectively.

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?
8. Fabian consumes X and Y and the following utility function represents his utility: U = 2XY a. With a utility function of U = 2XY, Fabian's MU, = 2Y and his MU, = 2x ,where MU is marginal utility.

Write an equation for Fabian's budget constraint. c. Write the equation that equates the slope of Fabian's budget constraint to the slope of Fabian's indifference curve: d. If Fabian is spending all of his income, how much X and how much Y will he choose? Use the equations you wrote in part's b and c to answer this question. e. What will Fabian's utility be with this combination of X and Y? f. Now suppose the price of X increases to P.=10.
