rick purchses two goods food and clothing
1. Rick purchases two goods, food and clothing. He has a diminishing marginal rate of substi- tution of food for clothing. Let z denote the amount of food consumed and y the amount of elothing. Suppose the price of food increases from P to P (> P). On a clearly labeled graph, illustrate the income and substitution effects of the price change on the consumption of food. Do so for each of the...

Consider the typical example of shopping at Walmart for pants (x1) and shirts (x2). Your income endowment is $300; the price of shirts is $20, and the price of pants is $30 a) Write down a Cobb-Douglas utility function with exponents a=0.5 and 1-a=0.5. b) Write down the budget constraint for this problem. c) Set up the Lagrange and find the optimal consumption bundle for Xi and x2 (call this bundle A) d) Now assume that the price of pants...

Exercise 3. Slutsky (Quasilinear) The utility function is u = x + xy, and the budget constraint is m=P,X, + P2XZ. a) Derive the optimal demand curve for good 1, x,(PP2), and good 2, x2(m, PP.). b) Looking at the cross price effects (@x_/ôp, and Ox_/ôp.) are goods x, and X, substitutes or complements? Looking at income effects (@x,lôm and Ox_lām) are goods x, and X, inferior, normal or neither? c) Assume m=100, =0.5...

3. (10%) In this question, we'll focus on Income and substitution effects. Consider the following three graphs, which Illustrate the preferences of three consumers (Bob, Carol, and Ted) regarding two goods, apples and peaches. Each consumer has an income of $30, and each consumer pays $2 for apples and $3 for peaches. a. Suppose that the price of peaches falls to $2. Draw a new budget line for each consumer and find the new optimal bundle chosen. How doe the...

1. Which of the following claims is true at each point along a price-consumption curve? A) Utility is maximized but income is not all spent. B) All income is spent, but utility is not maximized. C) Utility is maximized, and all income is spent. D) The level of utility is constant. 2. Consider a graph on which one good Y is on the vertical axis and the only other good X is on the horizontal axis. On this graph the income-consumption curve...

Suppose an individual’s utility function for two goods X and Y is givenby U(X,Y) = X^(3/4)Y^(1/4) Denote the price of good X by Px, price of good Y by Py and the income of the consumer by I. a) (2 points) Write down the budget constraint for the individual. b) (4 points) Derive the marginal utilities of X and Y. c) (3 points) Derive the expression for the marginal rate of substitution of X for Y. Write down the tangency...
