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.
A consumer’s preferences over two goods x and y are given bythe utility function U(x, y) = xαyβ with α, β > 0. The prices of the goods are px = 2 and py = 4.The consumer has an income of I > 0.(a) For what values of α and β are these utility functions strictly monotone?(b) For what values of α and β will the consumer demand (i.e., Walrasian demand) be more x than y?(c) For what values of α and β are these goods gross substitutes? For what values of α and β are these goods gross complements? Provide a justification for your answer.
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…

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
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?

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…
