Which of the following statements is false? O The Marshallian demand curve will only slope downwards for a normal or non-Giffen inferior good. O The Hicksian demands are compensated demands and depend on prices and utility. O The Slutsky substitution effect keeps utility constant, following a price change. O The income effect outweighs the substitution effect for a Giffen good. O The expenditure function maps prices and utility to minimal expenditure. O No answer.

Two individuals, Blair and Anton, derive utility from leisure and from the other goods (OG) they consume. Observing their leisure and OG choices when wage increases, we conclude that Blair has backward-bending labour supply and Anton has upward slopping labour supply. Therefore, Select all that applies a) Leisure is a normal good for Anton but an inferior good for Blair. b) Anton has only an income effect, while Blair has only a substitution effect. O C) Anton's income effect is larger than Blair's income effect, but Anton's substitution effect is smaller than Blair's substitution effect. O d) Anton's substitution effect is larger than his income effect, but Blair's income effect is larger than her substitution effect. O e) Anton's income and substitution effects are negative while Blair's income and substitution effects are positive.

For Gil, apples and pears are perfect substitutes; one apple is equivalent to one pear. Suppose, Gil has $15.00 per week to spend on these commodities and the price of an apple is $0.75 and the price of a pear is $1.00. a. What combination of apples and pears will Gil purchase to maximize his utility? b. Assume the price of apples increases to $1.25, while Gil's budget and the price of a pear remain unchanged. What combination of apples and pears will Gil purchase given this price change?
2 3 1. The consumer has Cobb-Douglas preferences for two goods x and y: u(x, y) = 10x¾yš Py> 0 and m > 0 is given. a) Set up the Expenditure Minimization Problem. b) Calculate MU and MUy. Ꮖ c) State the condition that explain why Cobb-Douglas preferences will guarantee an interior solu- tion. c) Give the two optimality conditions for x and y. i) ii) Px > 0, e) Solve for the compensated demand functions for good x and y.
