1) Let u(q1,q2) = ln q₁ + q2 be the (direct) utility function, where q₁ and q2the two goods. Denote
P₁ and P2 as the prices of those two goods and let M be per period money income. Derive each of
the following:
a) the ordinary or Marshallian demand functions q₁ = d₂ (P₁, P₂, M) for i = 1,2 [3 Marks]
b) the compensated or Hicksian demand functions q₁ = h₂ (P₁, P2, M) for i = 1,2 [3 Marks]
c) the Indirect Utility Function uº = v(P₁, P2, M) [3 Marks]
d) the Expenditure Function E(P1, P2, U°) [3 Marks]
e) Draw a diagram of the solution. There should be two graphs, one above the other; the
first containing the indifference curves and budget constraint that characterize the
solution to the consumer's choice problem; the second characterizing the demand…

Out of total number of 2807 women, who were interviewed for employment in a textile
factory, 912 were from textile areas and the rest from non-textile areas. Amongst the married
women, who belonged to textile areas, 347 were having some work experience and 173 did
not have work experience, while for non-textile areas the corresponding figures were 199
and 670 respectively. The total number of women having no experience was 1841 of whom
311 resided in textile areas. Of the total number of women, 1418 were unmarried and of
these the number of women having experience in the textile and non-textile areas was 254
and 166 respectively. Tabulate the above information. [CA. (Foundation), May 2000
