The following five individuals have different utility functions over food (good x) and clothing (good y): 1) u₁(x, y) = 3x²y 2) u₂(x, y) = 2√x + y 3) Uz(x, y) = x0.6y0.4 4) u₁(x, y) = x² + y² 1 5) us(x, y) = x + 3y For each of these people: a) Compute their marginal utilities of good x, MUx = Ju(x,y) MU, = ду du(x,y) ax b) Check whether the property of "more is better" is satisfied for both goods? Explain. [Hint: Check whether marginal utilities are positive assuming positive amounts of good x and good y] ƏMUX əx and marginal utility of good y, c) Does the marginal utility of good x diminish, remain constant, or increase as each of the individuals buys more x? Explain. [Hint: There are 2 ways to do it: 1) visually check what happens to the expression of MUx when x increases (does it decrease, keep constant or decrease?); or 2) take the partial derivative of this marginal utility with respect to x, that is ƏMUx .aMUX ƏMUX If 0, the marginal utility of x is increasing in x] d) Does the…

You were presented with a utility maximizing rule which states: If you always choose the item with the greatest marginal utility per dollar spent, when your budget is exhausted, the utility maximizing choice should occur where the marginal utility per dollar spent is the same for both goods.     That rule is expressed as follows: Group of answer choices   (The marginal utility associated with good 1 / the price of good 2) = (the marginal utility associated with good 2 / the price of good 1)   % change in price / % change in quantity   (The marginal utility associated with good 1 / the price of good 1) = (the marginal utility associated with good 2 / the price of good 2)   The marginal utility per dollar of good 1 > the marginal utility per dollar of good 2.
