Soppose Felix has 9dollars to spend on good x and y.The price ofgood Y is one.If consuming 6units of good y is utilitymaximizing,what must be the price of good x and the amount of goodx that he consumes for a utility function ofa.U=x^(1/3)y^(2/3)b.U=x+2yc.U=x+ln y
Mrs. Griffiths earns $5000 a week and spends her entire income on dresses and handbags, since these are the only two items that provide her utility. Furthermore, Mrs. Griffiths insists that for every dress she buys, she must also buy a handbag. i What is the algebraic equation for Mrs. Griffiths budget constraint if dresses cost S25 each and handbags cost $14 each? How many of each good will che buy and represent this on a budget line with handbags on the horizontal axis. Draw an indifference curve showing the optimum choice. Label the optimum as ii. 3. point A. What would be the marginal rate of substitution at the point that corresponds to the optimal consumption choice? Interpret the marginal rate of substitution. ii. Suppose the price of a dresses increases to $200 and income decreases to $4200. What is the new algebraic equation for Mrs. Griffiths budget constraint? Show the impact of the new budget line relative to the original budget line
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
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.

Paul has $22.25 of income to spend on two goods, Twinkies (q, ) and Pepsi (a2). Paul cannnot afford a bundle (91 , 92) = (5 , 10) by spending his entire income. If the price of Twinkies is $2.85, then the price of Pepsi is O A. at least O B. at most OC. D. equal to (round your answer to two decimal place), and the slope of Paul's budget line (with q1 on horizontal axis) is A. less than O B. equal to OC. O D. greater than (round your answer to two decimal place).

In two commodities world, utility function for a consumer and her income are given respectively. 11 U = x2y2 I= 480 If the price of these goods are Px= 15 and P, = 60 what would be her demand for these two goods * =? and y =? If the price of first good P has increased from 15 to 60. To keep her utility fixed how much does she need to spend for these two goods at least. In other words what should be her minimum income.

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.
Anya is currently consuming $1000 worth of consumption goods C and spending 30 hours in leisure I per week, where her marginal rate of substitution is 20. Assume that the price of a consumption good C is $1. This implies that she is willing to: O a. sacrifice 20 hours of leisure to get an extra $1 worth of consumption. O b. sacrifice $20 worth of consumption to enjoy the next hour of leisure. O c. her current utility will be higher by $20 if she gets one more unit of leisure. O d. she values the next unit of consumption at $20.
