Lucas gets utility (satisfaction) from two goods, A
and B, according to the utility function U(A,B) = 10[A−2 +B−2]−2.
While Luke would like to consume as much as possible he is limited
by his income.

3. Ollie has a utility function u(x, y) = (x + 2)(y + 3). The price of x is $1, and the price of y is $1. When he maximizes his utility subject to his budget constraint, he consumes positive amounts of both goods. In what proportion does Ollie consume goods x and y?
Ex. 1: Imagine there are two goods, X and Y. The utility function is: U = XY. The price of X is $2 and the price of Y is $4. The budget is $20. What is the optimal quantity of X and Y to consume? Ex. 2: Imagine there are two goods: books and coffees. Your utility function is U = BC, where B is the number of books you consume and C is the number of coffees you consume....
Peter has a utility function U(x, y) = min {2x, y}. The price of good x is $5, and the price of good y is $10. If Peter's income is $200, how many units of good y would he consume if he chose the bundle that maximizes his utility subject to his budget constraint?
Peter has a utility function U(x, y) = min {2x, y}. The price of good x is $5, and the price of good y is $10. If Peter's income is $200, how many units of good x would he consume if he chose the bundle that maximizes his utility subject to his budget constraint?
(10 Question 1: marks) Given is the Total Utility Function along with Budget Constraint: Utility Function: U (X, Y) = X°.270.3 Budget Constraint: I = XP, + YP, a. What is the consumer's marginal utility for X and for Y? b. Suppose the price of X is equal to 4 and the price of Y equal to 6. What is the utility maximizing proportion of X and Y in his consumption? {construct the budget constraint) c. If the total amount...
Question 9 Peter has a utility function U(x, y) = min {2x, y}. The price of good x is $5, and the priče of good y is $10. If Peter's income is $200, how many units of good x would he consume if he chose the bundle that maximizes his utility subject to his budget constraint?
Your utility function over the goods X and Z takes the following form: You want to maximize your utility subject to your budget constraint. Assume that the price of X is $3 per unit and the price of Z is $6 per unit, and that the total income you have to spend on X and Z is $720. The consumption bundle that will maximize your utility subject to your budget constraint is X 240 and Z 0 (enter only numbers...
