I need help checkin my own answers to this homework question as im not sure of my own answers. The info for the question is attached the question: How much X and Y should the consumer purchase in order to maximize her utility? i got x =4.5 and y =18. is that correct?
Solve all this question......you will not solve all questions then I will give you down?? upvote.....
Vani eats only green eggs and ham. He has an income of $36. Green eggs have a price of Priceof Green eggs = $2 and ham has a price of Price of Ham = $6. Sam’s preferences are represented bythe utility functionUtility = 10Eggs + 40Hama) Draw vani's budget constraint

5. A consumer's utility function is U = In x, +2 In x2 Find the values ofxi and x2 which maximize U subject to the budgetary constraint 2x, + 3x; = 18
Question 17 When considering her budget, the highest indifference curve that a consumer can reach is the one that is tangent to the budget constraint indifference curve farthest from the origin indifference curve that intersects the budget constraint in at least two places None of the above is correct O O
B.3 Marie has preferences over two goods, cake q₁ and bread q2. She chooses quantities to consume so as to best satisfy these preferences subject to the budget constraint p1q1 + P292 y where p₁ and P2 are prices and y is total budget. Suppose that Marie's preferences are represented by utility function u(q1, 92) = 91 + In (bq1 +92) where b≥ 0 is a preference parameter. Assume that p1/bp2 ≥ y/ (P1 - bp2) ≥ 1. (a) Show that Marie's indifference curves are downward sloping and that her weakly preferred sets are convex for all possible values of b. (b) Show that her Marshallian demand for cake gi is Y fi (y, P1, P2) 1 P1-bp2 and find her Marshallian demand for bread, f2 (y, P1, P2). Discuss the shape of Engel curves for the two goods. (c) Explain why Marshallian demand curves for normal goods slope down. Are there any values of b for which either cake or bread could be a Giffen good for Marie? Discuss. (d) Find the form of the indirect utility function and expenditure function and hence…

Amadea spends all her income on pizza,chocolate milk, and music streams. The price of pizza is $4 per slice and price ofchocolate milk $2 per bottle. At Amadea's current consumption level, her marginalutility for pizza is 50 units per slice and for music 100 units per stream. Assuming thatAmadea is a utility maximizer, how much is (a)her current marginal utility for a bottleof chocolate milk, and (b) the price of streams she buys. Show your work. [Hint: Ch 6:Utility-maximizing formula)
lucys utility functions is U (s, l) = min{s2+2L2, 2s2+L2}, where s is her consumption of sandwiches and l is her consumptionof cups of lemonade.a. Draw Susan’s indifference curve along which her utility is 300b. How many sandwiches and cups of lemonade Susan will consume if shehas $20 and price of a sandwich and a cup of lemonade are $2 and $4,respectively.
