David's utility function for good X and Y is given by U (X,Y) =X2y3. Where px,pand I are the price of good X, price of good Y and consumer income respectively.

 

E). Suppose david faces a new utility such as U(X, Y)=25x0.2 Y0.75 for consuming commodity X and Y, redo question b and c.

  • Derive the demand function for good X and Y
  •  What combination of X and Y maximizes the consumer at I=100,px=4,and py=5

F). Suppose david faces another new utility function such as U (X, Y) =15xyfor consuming commodity X and Y,redo question b and c

  • Derive the demand function for good X and Y
  •  What combination of X and Y maximizes the consumer at I=100,px=4,and py=5
