Then by duality, v*(p,e*(p,U))=M.2. Let x* is the ordinary (Marshallian) demandfunction for the vector of consumption goods,and preferences are strictly monotonic, thenx* is the demand function that solves theexpenditure minimization problem at fixedutility level U= value function e*(p,U).3. In the Slutsky equation, the Substitutioneffect with respect to an "own-price" changeis always negative.4. If preferences are strictly convex and strictlymonotonic, then necessarily ordinary demandchoices are unique.5. If preferences are convex, then ordinarydemand function cannot be unique at anyprice-income pairs.

Concept explainers

Form Utility

The term utility in general refers to the satisfaction earned from usage of a particular product or service. Utility always plays an important role because it influences various important elements like demand & thereby the price of the good or service as well. Though utility is not easy to measure, various types of economic models can be used indirectly. There can be various types of utilities like economic utility, marginal utility, cardinal utility, form utility.

2. Ping receives a weekly allowance to purchase soda (x) and juice (y) at school. His preferences over these two goods can be represented by the utility function U(x,y) =0.5x+ 5lny where x represents the number of cans of soda and y represents the number of juice boxes. a) Given his preferences find his Marshallian demand functions for soda (x) and juice (y). b) Suppose that the price of a can of soda is $1.5 and that Ping has $30 to spend on soda and juice. Write Ping's demand curve for juice (y). Illustrate his demand curve. c) Suppose that the price of a box of juice is $1 (the price of soda and income remain $1.5 and $30, resp.). Use your demand functions to find his best bundle. In an indifference curve diagram illustrate his best bundle at these prices.

2. Consider the two-good model of the utility maximization program subject to a budget constraint. The utility function U of a hypothetical rational consumer and his/her budget constraint are given, respectively, by: U = x1x2, (U) B = p1x1 + p2x2, (B) where xi = the consumer’s demand for consumption good i (i = 1, 2), pi = the price of consumption good i (i = 1, 2), and B = the (exogenously given) budget of the consumer.

Whenever an individual consumes ₁ units of good 1 and ₂ units of good 2, their utility is given by u(x₁, x2) = aln x₁ + ln x2, where a > 0 is a free parameter.
