Suppose that there are two goods, gl and g2, that Jane consumes. Demand functions for these two goods are given as follows: gl * = gl(pg1), pg2 ,Inc) g2 * = g2(pg1), pg2 ,Inc) where pg1, pg2 ,Inc refer prices of the goods and income, respectively. Explain and demonstrate (on the graph) the substitution and income effect for both an increase and decrease in price good g1. Use the notations given in the question.

Question #3 Please explain what are the substitution and income effects (a detailed response is expected). Mark consumes two goods apples and oranges. If the price of orange increases from $2 to $4 and orange is an inferior good, please illustrate graphically the income and substitution effects. Please label your diagram carefully and provide explanation. Qd = 3300 – 2P and Qs = 500 + 8p Solve for: Price, Quantity and Market equilibria
PROBLEM 3 – Slutsky Equation, Income Effect, Substitution Effect, and Total Effect There are two goods which quantities are to be denoted by x and y, while prices are denoted by px and py, respectively. There is a consumer whose income is to be denoted by I and utility by u. His expenditure function is known to be: *see image* a. Find the consumer’s uncompensated demand function for good x and good y.
Suppose that the marginal utilities from consuming good X and good Y are MU, -15 and MUy = 20. The price of good X and good Y are Px = $2 and $3 respectively. Which of the following statements is true? The consumer receives more marginal utility per dollar from good Y than from good X The consumer could increase utility by giving up 1 unit of good X for 2/3 units of good Y The consumer could increase utility by giving up 1 unit of good Y for 3/2 units of good X Jy The consumer is maximizing utility

If p₁ increases from $1 to $2, what are his compensating variation (CV), change in consumer surplus (ACS), and equivalent variation (EV)? Marvin's change in consumer surplus (ACS) is $ minus sign if necessary.) Marvin's compensating variation (CV) is $.

Bob has utility function U(x,y)=x2+y over goods x and y a) Do we have a name for this type of utility function? Are Bob's preferences well-behaved? b) Let Bob have budget I=$60, and let prices be Px=$30, Py=$10. Find Bob's optimal basket of goods x and y. Is this an interior or corner solution? c) What will happen if the price of good y doubles? [Think about: can we use this utility function to describe preferences over pet snakes and pet mice?]

PROBLEM 3 – Slutsky Equation, Income Effect, Substitution Effect, and Total Effect There are two goods which quantities are to be denoted by x and y, while prices are denoted by px and py, respectively. There is a consumer whose income is to be denoted by I and utility by u. His expenditure function is known to be: *see image* Suppose the consumer already spend $90 on good x which cost $1 and good y which cost $1, and initially purchase 60 of good x and 30 of good y. i. If the price of good x increase to $2, how many will he purchase each of the goods? ii. How much of the decrease in his demand for good x is due to the fact that they have become relatively more expensive? How much is due to the fact that his overall purchasing power has decreased? [Hint: find first the initial utility before the price change and income level needed to reach those initial utility with new prices. Slope of the indifference curve is given by MRS = -2y/x] iii.

Bunde's preferences are given by the utility function u(x1, x2) = x, + x2. For each of the following cases, decompose the price effects into the substitution and income effects using the Hicks-Allen decompositions. (For each part, use the given template to draw the constraints, and then use your completed graph to fill in the description. Enter any points in order from left to right as they would appear on the graph.) 20 15 10 5 10 15 20 (a) Suppose m = 120, P1 = 10, and p2 = 15. The price p1 then falls to 6, keeping p2 and m fixed. Given m = 120 and p, = 15, the budget B° is drawn for p, = 10. The utility-maximizing point on this budget is at A = given the linear preferences yielding utility y° = When p, falls to 6, the new budget is B" and the utility-maximizing point is C = ), yielding utility un = . The movement from A to C is the price effect of units of good 1. Removing income incrementally until Bunde can barely afford the old utility of at the new prices yields the line which…
