Ayana is pitching an idea for a startup company that makes and sells solar-powered phonechargers (C). Her market research has found that consumer demand for this product can beexpressed as a function of the price of the charger itself (PC), the price of phones (PF), andthe consmer’s income (I). Consumer demand can be described by the function C(PC, PF, I) =(i−10PC)/ (PF) Suppose her chargers come in all different capacities to meet any quantity demanded, so youdon’t need to worry about restricting C to whole numbers for this problem. (a) Does this product satisfy the law of demand?Explain.

The following figure shows the demand curve for good x for an agent whose demand function for this good is Qx(px,py,W)=W/(3px). The figure is a two-axis graph in which the horizontal axis measures Qx and the vertical axis measures px. The demand curve shown, in blue, is a downward sloping curve. It passes through the point (10,4). Then the value of W for the demand curve shown is? 100 110 40 120 10
Jack sells 40 widgets when it charges a price of $40 per widget, and 10 widgets when it charges a price of $100 per widget. Assume the demand for widgets is linear. Write down the inverse demand function of Jack's customers.
Many advertising slogans seem to be asserting something about people's preferences. How would you capture the following slogans with a mathematical statement about the utility function? Either find a utility function for each of the examples or discuss what properties should it have. a) Promise margarine is just as good as butter. b) Things go better with Coke. c) You can't eat just one Pringle's potato chip. d) Krispy Kreme glazed doughnuts are just better that Dunkin' Donuts
For the utility function U = Qx0.15Qy(1-0.15) find the trade-off rate between good X and good Y at Qx= 9 and Qy=13
Julian is interested in only two goods: good X and good Y and has M dollars to spend (and always spends it all). His uncle Paul is rich and he offered him 1000 dollars as a present but Julian did not take it and chose to just spend his own money. Julian's demand function for good X and the demand function for good Y are given respectively by XJ = 32800/(10Px + Py) and Y₁ = 3280/(10Px + Py). What is Julian's spending money "M"?
Consider the utility function: U(x,y)= -4(3x-12)² - (2y-10)² Determine the marginal utility for the two commodities
Suppose the market demand curve for pizza can be expressed as QD = 100 - 2P + 3Pb, where QD is the quantity of pizza demanded, P is the price of a pizza, and Pb is the price of a burrito. What is the slope of this demand function, and what information does the slope provide?..
uppose two individuals (Cindy and Elicia) each have 12 hours of labor to devote to producing either roti (X) or fry rice (Y). Cindy’s demand for X and Y is given by: XC = 6/PX and YC = 6/PY, whereas Elicia’s demands are given by, XE = 8/PX andYE = 4/PY. The individuals do not care whether they produce X or Y and the production function for each good is given by X = 3L; Y = 4L where L is the total labor devoted to production of each good. The equation for the frontier is given by X/3 + Y/4 = 24. Which is the price ratio, Px/Py?
What is the demand for goods L and Y given the utility function U(L,Y) = L+2Y where the price of L is $1 dollar per unit and the price of y is $Z per unit.
