Utility maximization under constraint, substitution and income effect, CV and EV Josh gets utility (satisfaction) from two goods, A and B, according to the utility function U(A, B) = 4[A-4 + B-4-4 + 40. While Josh would like to consume as much as possible he is limited by his income. a. Maximize Josh's utility subject to the budget constraint using the Lagrangean method b. Suppose PA increases. Show graphically the income, substitution effect and total effect and explain c. Suppose PA increases. Show the graphs for CV and EV and explain. One graph for CV and one graph for EV

Jon is consuming oranges and apples so that he is spending his entire income and MUA/PA = 4 and MUo/Po = 9. To maximize utility, he should consume O less of both oranges and apples. more oranges and less apples. less oranges and more apples. the same amount of oranges and apples since he is already maximizing utility.
X2 Phil has preferences over olives (x₁) and ice creams (x₂) with a utility function, u(x₁, x₂)= x₁0.5+ x₂0.5. Suppose his income is $16 and the price of olives is $1 and the price of ice creams is $1, too. Which of the following is TRUE? O The utility level when he spends all of his income on good 1 is 8. O The optimal bundle Phil will choose to consume is (6,10). O The utility level at a bundle (1,16) is 11. None of the above. The optimal bundle Phil will choose to consume is (8,8).
