Suppose that i's preferences over goods x and y are represented by the following utility function U₁(x, y)=x45¹5. Let m denote the consumer's income, p denote the price of good x and let the price of good y equal 1. A) Find the Marshallian demand functions for goods x and y. B) Show how each of the demand function is affected by a change in the price of good x. C) Which of the goods is an inferior good?

An individual consumes two goods, X and Y, and receives utility according to a Cobb-Douglas production function of the form: U(X,Y)= X1/3Y2/3. Give that MUX= 13(MUYMUX)2/3 and MUY= 23(MUXMUY)1/3 find the consumers optimal demand functions for X and Y in terms of PX, PY, and I. Explain why I could have solved the problem above using the utility function U(X,Y)= XY2 and would have obtained the same answer. What is it about utility that makes this possible?     Economists define the ‘certainty equivalent’ of a risky stream of income as the amount of guaranteed money an individual would accept instead of taking a risk. The certainty equivalent varies between individuals based on their risk preference.
Economics Consider a household whose preferences are described by the utility function U(X1, X2) = X1X2 where X1 and X2 are household’s consumption of goods 1 and 2 respectively. Consider that household’s budget constraint is: P1X1 +P2X2 =I. (a) Derive the household’s demand functions for goods X1 and X2. (b) Derive the household’s compensated demand function for goods 1 and 2, i.e., obtain functions of the form Xi = fi (P1, P2, U) , I = 1, 2 where U is the household’s level of utility. (c) Assume that in the initial situation the commodity prices, P1 and P2, and the household income level, I, are given by P1 = $1, P2 = $1 and I = $2. Sketch the compensated and uncompensated demand curves for good 2 with P1 held constant at the initial level. In the compensated case, U is held constant at the initial level while in the uncompensated case, I is held constant. (d) By how much must I be increased if P2 increases to $2 (P1 remains at $1) and our household is to maintain its…
In the utility function above, x and y are substitutes. The Consumer Maximization Problem is as follows:Max(x;y)=5x + 6y subject to x + 2y = 10, We know MRSxy=5/6, find it by setting U(x, y) = U¯ and solving the utility function for y and what is the price ratio? Answer correctly with proper explanation

Bread and doughnuts: The consumer receives positive benefits from the consumption of beans (B) and donuts (K). Utility function of the consumer is the following: U(B,K) = 100∙B0.25 · K0.75 The price of beans (can) is ISK 2,000. but the price of a donut (box) is ISK 4,000. Consumption restrictions are placed on the consumer since his income is ISK 400,000. Put on all form donuts on the x-axis and beans on the y-axis. a) Show an equation for the bean's success rate for a single donut in light of the utility function. Draw the equivalence curve on a picture and explain what the equation is performance ratio is stated at each point on the equivalence curve. Explain with the concept of the efficiency ratio of the curvature of the equivalent curve. b) Find the most efficient consumption combination and draw on the diagram. c) The government decides to support the consumption of beans so its price drops to 1,000. Who is the most economical consumption combination based on the changed price…
Consider the following utility function: U = 100x.50,0.50 A consumer faces prices of P, = $2 and Py =$1. Assuming that graphically good X is on the horizontal axis and good Y is on the vertical axis, suppose the consumer chooses to consume 6 units of good X an units of good Y. Then the marginal rate of substitution is equal to: MRS = 1.83. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places. Do not forget to include the negative sign.) Use absolute values. The consumer should consume to maximize utility. more Y and less X the same amount of X and Y more X and less Y 15 tv MacBook Air 80 esc DII F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 @ #3 % 2 7 8.
