Suppose the demand for good x is given by the following equation: Qdx = 60 - 40Px + 21 - 30Py where Qax is the quantity demanded of good x, Px is the price of good x, I is income, and Py is the price of good y. a. On a clearly labeled graph, plot the demand curve assuming Py is $6 and income is $700. Remember to identify and label the intercept points. Label your curve D1. b. On the same graph, plot the demand curve assuming Py is $6 and income is $900. Remember to identify and label the intercept points. Label your curve D2.

Assume the demand function for good X can be written as: QX = 30 - 3PX + 2PY + 0.2I Where PX is the price of good X PY is the price of good Y I is the consumer income. a) Based on the demand curve above, is X a normal or inferior good? b) Based on the demand curve above, what is the relationship between good X and good Y? c) What is the equation of the demand curve if consumer incomes are $40,000 (use $40, income in thousands) and the price of good Y is $35?
Graphical and Intuitive Optimization Consider a consumer who must allocate their available income between the consumption of two goods, Beer and Pizza. Their preferences over Beer and Pizza adhere to the usual assumptions we have made about preferences. The indifference curve map below reflects their preferences and the budget constraint reflects current income and prices. In the simplest terms possible, define or explain the term "Marginal Utility of Beer" (MUB). In the simplest terms possible, define or explain the term "Marginal Rate of Substitution of beer for pizza" (MRSBP). In the simplest terms possible, intuitively explain the meaning of MUB/PB, where PB represents the price of one unit of Beer.

Given the two functions below: Y=10e-0.5q and y=7ln5q Draw the two functions for the interval -1<q < 3. After the functions are drawn, identify which of the two functions represents the demand curve and name the intercept(s) formed.
Exercise 2 Suppose you have the following hypothetical demand or sales function. Qx= -4Px+2Py+0.201+0.04A and PX = $200, (price of good X) PY =$230, (price of good Y) 1 = $1,500 (disposable per capita income) A=$12,000 (advertizing expenditures) a. Write out a reduced demand function b. Solve for and write out the demand curve equation c. Give a narrative interpretation for the coefficient of I d. How could we classify good X and good Y? Explain why.
(b) It is thought that a consumer measures the utility, u(x, y), of possessing a quantity, z, of apples and a quantity, y, of oranges by the formula u(x, y) = rªyla, where a is a constant. Suppose that apples cost p dollars each and oranges q dollars each. If the consumer has M dollars to spend on apples and oranges, use the method of Lagrange multipliers to find the quantity of each that he will buy in terms of a, p, q and M. [You are not required to justify the use of the method of Lagrange multipliers here.] For equally priced apples and oranges when he has one dollar to spend, he is actually observed buying one apple and two oranges. What value of a does this imply?
Q.7 A consumer's utility function is given by the expression: U = (0.6A"' + 0.47'"s} Determine the marginal utility functions for each commodity. Does marginal utility decrease when consumption increases? Assuming that the price of good X is Rs 15 and the price of Y is Rs 6, write the equation of the budget line and plot it when income is Rs 450. What is its slope? What does it indicate? Calculate the marginal rate of substitution of Y for X and interpret its economic meaning. Write the equation showing consumer's equilibrium condition. Obtain the equilibrium values of X and Y. Find the expressions for change in MUx due to increase in Y and change in MUy due to increase in X.

Frank's utility function for WWE wrestling event tickets (x,) and NASCAR race tickets (2) is of the following Cobb - Douglas form: U(x,, ) = x 1 2 0.25 0.75 x 2 his income is Y, the price of WWE tickets is p₁, and the price of NASCAR tickets is p₂. a. Mathematically derive his 1 demand functions for x, and x2. No graphs! You are not required to use Lagrangian Function, you can just use the demand formulas for the Cobb - Douglas utility function (Chapter 5, fourth slide). b. Using your answers from part (a), find the demand functions for x and x2, and mathematically prove that they have the proper negative slope.
