Please help awnsering the following question. Thank you
21. A consumer has a utility function defined over two goods X and Y. Let the quantity of Good X be x ≥ 0 and the quantity of Good Y be y ≥ 0. The utility function is given below: u(x, y) = xy + 2y. Assume that the consumer has income m and that prices are på and py. (a) Explain whether the preferences underlying this utility function satisfy completeness and transitivity. (b) Explain whether the preferences underlying this utility function satisfy monotonicity and convexity. (c) Find the consumer's Marshallian demands for Good X and Good Y at prices px > 0 and Py > 0. (d) Show that goods X and Y are normal goods and explain whether either good is a substitute for the other. (e) Assume that px 10, Py = 5 and m = 100. Suppose that px increases to px = 15, how much of the change in demand for Good X is via the substitution effect and how much is via the income effect? Note: You may assume an interior solution (i.e. x > 0 and y> 0). =
True or false with reasoning: 1) _______When we claim that utility can be ordinally measured, we assume that the consumer is able to measure the total and marginal utility received when one extra unit of a commodity is consumed. 2)_______If MRS between two goods is constant, then having more of one good without having more of the other does not increase utility. 3)_______Marginal Utility increases until total utility is at a maximum and then marginal utility decreases.
Let the following table represents the total utility of a given consumer, in the cardinal utility approach. Q 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 TUX 8 14 18 20 20 18 16 TUY 6 10 13 15 16 16 14 MUX MUY MUX/PX MUY/PY Calculate the MUX and MUY and fill the table in the 4th and 5th rows. If the two products (X&Y) are free goods how many of X and Y should the consumer take to maximize utility? What is the maximum utility of X and Y if they are free? Let now price of X is 4 birr per unit and price of Y is 2 birr per unit. Calculate MUX/PX and MUY/PY and fill the 6th and 7th row. Assuming the consumer has any amount of money (enough budget) how many of X and Y should the consumer buy, to maximize utility? What is the total utility of X and Y? Let now price of X is 4 birr per unit and price of Y is 2 birr per unit and budget of the consumer for consumption of X and Y is 20 birr. Given budget constraint how many of X and Y should the consumer buy to maximize utility?
Do not understand please help me figure this out
Please help any info will help
Refer to the graph below Quantity of Y 160 0 Multiple Choice The consumer's income is $1,000 Why doesn't the consumer choose the combination at point B O Quantity of X 200 O The marginal utility of Y exceeds the marginal uplity of X O The consumer is willing to give up more X for an additional unit of Y than must be given up given the relative prices of X and Y. The marginal utility per dollar spent on X exceeds the marginal utility per dollar spent on Y The consumer is willing to give up more Y for an additional unt of X than must be given up given the relative prices of X and Y
Given: Assume a consumer is attempting to maximize utility subject to the budget constraint by choosing units of consumption between two goods: good 1 and good 2. Utility maximizing choices are provided in the following table for a baseline scenario and new scenario. Item Baseline New Price of Good 1 $10 $10 Price of Good 2 $10 $6 Income $20,000 $20,000 Units Consumed, Good 1 1000 1250 Units Consumed, Good 2 1000 1250 Utility 4000 5000 Using the table, how did the new event affect good 2? It caused demand for good 2 to decrease. O It caused demand for good 2 to incrcase. OIt caused quantity demanded for good 2 to increase. O It caused no change in quantity demanded for good 2. It cause quantity demanded for good 2 to decrease. It caused no change in demand for good 2.
2) Which of the following utility functions represent the same preferences? Explain. a) U (x₁, x₂) = X₁ X₂ b) W (x₁, x₂) = 5lnx₁ +5lnx₂ c) V (x₁, x₂) = x₁¹/3x₂ ¹/3 - 0.8 d) Z(x₁, x₂) = 0.5x₁ + 0.5x₂
12) A consumer’s preferences are given by U(X,Y) = X0.6Y0.4. The price of X is 4, and the price of Y is 5. The consumer has an income of $2000.a) What is the utility maximizing choice of X and Y?b) How would the utility maximizing choice change if price of X falls to 3 because of a pricesubsidy?c) Given the answers to the previous parts plot a linear demand function for X.d) Show that the consumer would prefer the cash equivalent of the price subsidy in part b.
The price of good "a" is $5 and the price of good "b" is $15. If the marginal utility of good "a" is 20 then the marginal utility of good "b" must be ________ to have an optimum combination of goods purchased. 80 20 60 4
