If the utility function for a consumer is defined by U=6X^3/5Y^2/5 Given that the consumer's income is 300 currency units and unit price of goods X and Y are 12 and 15 currency units respectively, calculate the equilibrium quantity of both goods. Compute the price elasticity of demand for both goods and interpret your results. If income and prices of the two goods increase by 50%, calculate the equilibrium quantities of both goods
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.
Q.7 A consumer's utility function is given by the expression: U = (0.6A"' + 0.47'"s} Determine the marginal utility functions for each commodity. Does marginal utility decrease when consumption increases? Assuming that the price of good X is Rs 15 and the price of Y is Rs 6, write the equation of the budget line and plot it when income is Rs 450. What is its slope? What does it indicate? Calculate the marginal rate of substitution of Y for X and interpret its economic meaning. Write the equation showing consumer's equilibrium condition. Obtain the equilibrium values of X and Y. Find the expressions for change in MUx due to increase in Y and change in MUy due to increase in X.
Sally consumes two goods, X and Y. Her utility function is given by the expression U = 2XY3. The current market price for X is $20, while the market price for Y is $10. Sally's current income is $500. a. Write the equation for Sally's budget constraint. What is the slope of her budget line? b. Determine the X,Y combination which maximizes Sally's utility, given her budget constraint.

Julie, who has $64, consumes only two goods: whistles (w), which cost $6 each and xylophones (x), which cost $7 each. Her preferences over these two goods can be represented by the utility function u(w, x) = 3w0.75 0.25 a) What is the optimal number of whistles for Julie to consume given this scenario? b) What is the level of utility Julie attains at this level of consumption? c) Suppose now that the price of whistles rises from $6 to $7. What is the magnitude of this price effect on whistles?

If the utility function for a consumer is defined by U=6X^0.6Y^0.7 . Given that the consumer's income is 300 currency units and unit price of goods X and Y are 12 and 15 currency units respectively, calculate the equilibrium quantity of both goods. Compute the price elasticity of demand for both goods and interpret your results. If income and prices of the two goods increase by 50%, calculate the equilibrium quantities of both goods
Consider a person who consumes two goods, x and y, and has a utility function given by U(x, y) = In(x)+y. This person has an income of $100 and faces a price of $0.50 for good x and $1 for good y. Price of x then rises to $0.60. Solve for the compensating variation (CV) and equivalent variation (EV) of this price change. Show your work.
