O One of the goods is an inferior good and the other is a normal good. O Her purchase of x₁ depends on her income and on the prices of both goods, p₁ and p2. O Her purchase of x₁ does not depend on income. O Her purchases for neither good depends on income. O Her purchase of x2 depends only on her income and on the price of that good, p2.

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.
In two commodities world, utility function for a consumer and her income are given respectively. 11 U = x2y2 I= 480 If the price of these goods are Px= 15 and P, = 60 what would be her demand for these two goods * =? and y =? If the price of first good P has increased from 15 to 60. To keep her utility fixed how much does she need to spend for these two goods at least. In other words what should be her minimum income.
A consumer has the following utility function: Ulx, y) = xy -y, *21 where x and y represents the quantities consumed of goods X and Y. y 20 What will be the substitution and income effects for X and Yassuming that the consumer attempts to maintain the same level of utility achieved before price of Y increased (that is, when price of Y was $1)? SEx= +0.5 IEx = -0.5 SE, = -0.25 IE- = -0.25 SEx= +0.293 IE = -0.293 SEy = -0.414 IE, = +0.414 SEr= +0.25 IE SE, = -0.75 IE, = -0.75 = -0.25 SEx= +0.414 IEx = -0.414 SEy = -0.293 IE, = -0.207 Income = $3 Px= $1, Py= $2
Answer the following short questions:a. Suppose that a consumer’s preferences between goods x andy are represented by the utility function u(x, y) = x^2 + 16xy + 64y^2. If these two goods have the same price, describe the optimal consumptionchoice of this consumer.b. Suppose that when the price of a good change, the incomeand substitution effects change the consumer’s demand for that goodin opposite directions.i. Is this good a normal or an inferior good? Explain.ii. Is this good a Giffen or an ordinary good? Explain.c. Is the following statement true or false? The differencebetween a monopolist’s marginal cost and its profit-maximizing price issmaller when the demand is more elastic.

Let the following table represents the total utility of a given consumer, in the cardinal utility approach A) Calculate the MUx and MUy and fill the table in the 4th and 5th rows. B) If the two products (X&Y) are free goods how many of X and Y should the cons consumer take to maximize utility? C) What is the maximum utility of X and Y if they are free?. D) Assuming the consumer has any amount of money (enough budget) how many of X and Y should the consumer buy, to maximize utility? E) What is the total utility of X and Y? F) 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? G) What are the total utility of X and Y
