Luke's choice behavior can be represented by the utility function u(x1,x2)= x1 + x2
Luke's choice behavior can be represented by the utility function u(x1,x2)= x1 + x2.The prices of x1 and x2 are denoted as p1 and p2, and his income is m. 1. Draw at least three indifference curves and find its slope (i.e. MRS). Is the MRS changing depending on the points of (x1, x2) at which it is evaluated, or constant? 2. Draw a budget constraint assuming that p1 < P2. Find the optimal bundle (x1*,x2*) as a function of income and prices. 3....

Cursue a consumer with preferences described by (x1, x2) = x1 + x2 Suppose she faces prices pi 1 and P2 = 1/2 and that she has an income of I = 2. For your reference, the marginal utilities at a bundle (x1, x2) in this setting are given by MU (x1, x2) = 1 MU?(x), x2) = 2V x2 3(a) Write down the two equations which characterize the consumer's utility-maximizing bundle (X1.3) in this situation.
