- Suppose the preferences of an individual are represented by a quasilinear utility function: U(x, y) = In(x) + 3y a) Initially, Px=1, Py=6 and 1=102. Then, the price of x increases to 2 (Px=2). Calculate the changes in the demand for x. Please also calculate the substitution and income effects of the change in Px on x. (Hint: since the change in price is not small, you cannot use the Slutsky equation. You need to have numbers instead of functions as the answer.) B)Please also calculate the substitution and income effects of the change in Pr on y. C) Instead of doubling to 2, suppose Px is only increased by a small amount. Use the Slutsky equation to find the substitution and income effects of the change in the price of x on x. Compare your result to (a). Explain why there's no income effect of the change in Pa On X. Show your result on an indifference curve. d) Use the Slutsky equation to find the substitution and income effect of the change in Px on y. Compare your result to (b).Which of the following utility functions represent preferences which do not satisfy monotonicity? 1 U= - x+y 1 U= - 5ху Ou=xy O u= yIndividual that consumes two goods (X and Y) and has a CES Utility Function of the form: U = 100(X^(0.75) + Y^(0.75)). Income of 1000, the price of Good X is 10 and the Price of Good Y is 20 a) Find the Marginal Rate of Substitution as a function of the quantities consumed of Good X and Good Y. b) Write out the Lagrangian for this problem. c) Solve to find the demand for Good X, the demand for Good Y, and the highest level of utility for this individual. d) Now consider an increase in the price of Good X to 20. What is the demand for Good X and Good Y? What is the Utility of the consumer following the price change? e) Considering the change in demand for each good between parts c) and d), how much is due to the substitution effect and how much is due to the income effect? f) Show your answers on a graph.
- Anna has an income of 1000 euros and utility function U(x,y)=x²y³. The prices of the two goods are P₁=5 and Py-20. a) Define the budget constraint and represent it graphically. (Kreese derives utility from two types of goods: cigars (good 1) and sleeveless shirts (good 2). A consumption bundle is a pair (r1, x2), where r, > 0 is the quantity of cigars and r2 2 0 is the quantity of sleeveless shirts (for simplicity, assume these goods can be measured in arbitrary-not just integer-quantities). (a) Suppose Kreese's preferences are monotone (more is better) and that he is willing to give up one sleeveless shirt in exchange for three cigars. Find a utility function representing his preferences. (b) Through trial and error, Kreese has discovered that there are no benefits to smoking more than 10 cigars per day. When smoking less than 10 cigars he is still willing to exchange one shirt for three cigars, but if he smokes more than ten cigars, there is no additional benefit and he only gains by owning more shirts. Find a utility function describing these preferences.For each of the following utility functions draw the indifference curve that passes through (1,1). Label at least three points on each curve and indicate the direction of increased preference: a) u(x1, x2 ) = 3x1 b) u(x1, x2 ) = x1 + 2x2 c) u(x1, x2 ) = x1+ logx2 d) u(x1, x2 ) = min (2x1, x2) e) u(x1, х2) %3D max (1, x2)
