QUESTION 11 Scenario 1: Tom's budget constraint is given by PxX +PyY = 40, and Px= $5, Py = $4. Suppose Tom's utility function is given by the equation U= 2XY, where is the level of utility measured in utils and X and Y refert good X and good Y, respectively. You are also told that the marginal utility of good X can be expressed as MUX = 2Y; and the marginal utility of good Y can be expressed as...
Derive the demand for x for a person with income (I) and Utility=min(x,y) with budget constraint I= pxX+pyY. Find the own price elasticity of demand for x and the income elasticity of demand for x.
Consider a consumer whose income is 100 and his preference is given by U-10x04yo6. If PX-Py-1, what is the optimal consumption bundle by the consumer? (Please write out the constraint utility maximization problem completely, including the budget function.) Derive the demand of Good X and Y by this consumer. (The result should be a function giving you the amount of X he will buy at every given price level Px, and a function for good Y as well.) a. b....
Sally consumes two goods, X and Y. Her preferences over consumption bundles are repre- sented by the utility function r, y)- .5,2 where denotes the quantity of good X and y denotes the quantity of good Y. The current market price for X is px 10 while the market price for Y is Pr = $5. Sally's current income is $500. (a) Write the expression for Sally's budget constraint. (1 point) (b) Find the optimal consumption bundle that Sally will...
