6. Consider the following demand function for Juuls: 2Pj where I is the level of income and Pf is the price of food. Using the calculus, show that demand for Juuls is an increasing function of income and that the quantity of Juuls demanded is a decreasing function of the price of Juuls. This question is worth 10 points.

8. An individual's preferences are represented by the utility function Ulx, y) . Which of the following statements is true? a. The marginal utility of x decreases as x increases, holding y constant. b. The marginal rate of substitution of x for y increases as the consumer substitutes x for y (i.e. more x and less y) along an indifference curve. c. The consumer needs to be compensated with (i.e. gain) increasing amounts of good x in order to be...

5. True/False Suppose a consumer faces the following budget constraint for food and clothing. where PF and Pc are the price of food and the price of clothing, respec- tively. A consumer is indifferent between receiving N dollars that can be spent only on food and an additional N dollars that can be spent on either on good. Make your argument graphically using the two budget constraints. This question is worth 10...

Question 2. Consider the following 8 bundles of goods x and y: A = (8,4) B = (5,6) C = (5,9) D = (10,3) E =(1,4) F =(6,5) G=(2,8) H =(7,8) (a) Come up with an example of a utility function that will produce the following order of preference for the bundles, where H is most preferred, A and G are equally preferred, and E is least preferred. H , C , B , F , A = G ,...

Income and substitution, Compensating Variation: Show your work in the steps below. Consider the utility function u(x,y)-x"y a. Derive an expression for the Marshallian Demand functions. b. Demonstrate that the income elasticity of demand for either good is unitary 1. Explain how this relates to the fact that individuals with Cobb-Douglas preferences will always spend constant fraction α of their income on good x. Derive the indirect utility function v(pxPod) by substituting the Marshallian demands into the utility function C....
