The function Q = F(p,ps,y) describes how the monthly demand, Q (measured in 100s of Widgets), for Grinch Inc. Widgets depends on the variables: • p = the price/Widget that Grinch Inc. sets (measured in S). • Ps= average price of substitutes for Grinch Inc. Widgets (measured in $). • y = average disposable income in the market for Widgets (measured in $1000s). When average disposable income in the market is $4200 and Grinch Inc.s price is $12 and the average price of substitutes is $11... · Q = 66 Op=-0.28 2ps = 0.52 Qy = 0.31 If average monthly income increases to $4400 and the average price of substitutes increases to $11.35, by approximately how much can Grinch Inc. increase their price while keeping demand for their Widgets fixed at Q = 66 ?

A basket of goods for a given consumer includes two goods, X and Z. Consumer income is equal to $1,500 and the prices of these two goods are as follows: Px = $25 Pz = $25 This consumer is consuming10 units of good X. Suppose that over the course of a year, the price of good X changes by 10% and the price of good Z changes by −10%. How much income would be required for the consumer to afford the same quantity of goods X and Z with the new prices? $______
The demand function for potatoes per month is given by Q = 104 – 40p + 20pt + 0.01Y, where Q = the quantity of potatoes, p = price of potatoes, pt = price of tomatoes, and Y = income per month.

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?
Let U(x, y) = 3x + y be the utility function of a consumer, whohas a budget of I. As a function of I, find the consumer’s Walrasian demand when the prices are px = py = 1. The price of good x increases to 2, find the new Walrasian demand for the new prices px = 2 and py = 1. Decompose this change into an income and a substitution effect.
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.

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.

Question 1: Utility maximization and price index Tim consumes haircuts (₁) and sandwiches (x2). His utility function is: u (x₁, x2) = (x₁) (x₂)¹-0 The price of ₁ is p₁ and the price of x2 is p2. He has a total income of m. 1. Find Tim's demand function for goods 1 (x1 (P1, P2, m)) and 2 (x2 (P1, P2, m)), using a Lagrangian. 2. Suppose we'd want to compute a price index for the "average" good that Tim consumes. We define it as P such that: PV (p1, P2, m) = m where P is the price index, V(p1, P2, m) is the indirect utility that Tim can achieve when prices are p₁ and p2 and his income is m. Solve for the price level as a function of the individual prices, P(p1, P2), and show that it is equal to the inverse of the Lagrange multiplier in 1. Interpret. hint: the indirect utility is obtained by plugging the demand you found in (1) into the utility function: V(P1, P2, m) = u((x₁ (P1, P2, m), x2 (P1, P2, m)) 3. Does the price index satisfy homogeneity of degree 1? How does the im- portance of…
