An experimental subject has reference-dependent preferences over mugs and money. Letconsumption in mugs and money be c1 and c2, respectively, and let the reference point inmugs and money be r1 and r2, respectively. Then, the person’s utility is given by v(3c1 − 3r1) + v(c2 − r2) (1)where v(x) = x for x ≥ 0 and v(x) = 3x for x < 0. Normalize the person’s initial amountof money to zero, and suppose she starts off with zero mugs.a) What feature(s) of the prospect-theory value function does v capture? Whatfeature(s) does it not capture?b) According to the above utility function, who is better off: a person whosereference point is to get nothing and gets nothing, or one whose reference point is toget $1,000 and gets $1,000? Is there something weird about this? If so, how couldyou modify the utility function to make it more realistic (while still capturing thesame features of prospect theory)? Use the original utility function for the rest of…
Questions 1.4 and 1.5 refer to a consumer with preferences over food (x) and clothing (y) represented by the utility function u(x, y) = xy, and whose monetary income in 2018 was I = 2. In 2018 prices were (p2018, p2018) = (1, 1), and in 2019 they are (p2019, p2019) = (4,1). hand written plz 1.4. The true consumer price index of this individual is 01 1.5 2 2.5. 1 1.5. The consumer price index of this individual calculated as a Laspeyres index is 01 1.5 2 ☑ 2.5.

Recall that a consumer with utility has Marshallian demand u(x₁, x2) = min{x1,2x2} x(p, w) = W 2w 2p1 + P2' 2p1 + P2 (a) Find the indirect money-metric utility function for reference prices p. (b) Calculate the equivalent variation associated with a change in prices from (4, 1) to (2, 1) when the consumer has wealth 10. (c) For the same change, without calculating the compensating variation, explain whether it is larger than, smaller than, or the same as the equivalent variation.
If Utility function is of form U = 12x1 + 10x2 + log(x2), with prices of goods of the form p1= 5 and p2= 10. If monetary Income is 500, we ask:(a) Determine optimal quantities for x1 and x2 and establish utility obtained by consumer.b) If Monetary Income falls to 450, then how do you change quantities of x1 and x2 that maximizes consumer's utility?

Given a QD = 100 – 2P and QS = 6P – 20 If P2 = 30, compute the QD , and QS. Identify the economic effect at this price.
Given the simple production function Q = 3K + 4L, where L is the quantity of labor employed and K is the quantity of capital employed, assuming K = 2 and L = 3, what would it mean if output was less than 18? The firm is not employing labor and capital efficiently. Labor is less productive than capital. The firm is out of business. The production function was not specified correctly.

TRUE or FALSE. If the statement is correct, write TRUE on your answer sheet. If the statement is incorrect, write FALSE. Explain why you answered TRUE or FALSE. The substitution effect is always negative since you need to reduce the consumption of lanzones in order to increase the consumption of rambutan to attain a higher indifference curve.
