NEED Question #2
1. U(x, y) = x1ax2(1-a)
a. Solve for the marshallian demands for x1 and x2, as functions of p1, p2, and m. (Hint: your solutions will be equations, not numbers).
b. For x1 find the own-price elasticity and income elasticity.
c. Suppose a = 0.2, m = 100, p1 = 2, and p2=8, find the quantities of x1 and x2.
d. What happens to these quantities when p1 doubles to $4?
e. What does this say about the price consumption curve (PCC)?
2. Suppose the price of one good increases. What is the substitution and the income effect of this price change? What else do you need to know to fully answer this?
By maximizing utility subject to the budget
constraint, we get the Marshallian Demand Functions.

The utility function is u = x1½ + x2, and the budget constraint is m = p1x1 + p2x2. Derive the optimal demand curve for good 1, x1(p1, p2), and good 2, x2(m, p1, p2). Looking at the cross price effects (∂x1/∂p2 and ∂x2/∂p1) are goods x1 and x2 substitutes or complements? Looking at income effects (∂x1/∂m and ∂x2/∂m) are goods x1 and x2 inferior, normal or neither? Assume m=100, p1=0.5 and p2=1. Using the demand function you derived in...
