Marge has the utility function U(F,H)=20F2H where F is the quantity of footwear and H is the quantity of hats she consumes. Suppose the price of footwear is $20 and the price of hats is $5, while Marge has an income of $200/week. Calculate Marge's MRS as a function of the quantities F and H. (2 points) BONUS: Write down the Lagrangian function for Marge's utility maximization problem. (2 points) Solve for Marge's optimal consumption bundle of footwear and...

Homework 3 Chapter 5: Demand 1. What happens to the amount of x and y consumed when income falls if x and y are normal goods? Draw a budget constraint (before the income decrease) and a convex utility curve that corresponds to the optimal consumption bundle. Draw a new budget constraint (after income falls) and a new convex utility curve that corresponds to the optimal consumption bundle. Has the amount of x and y consumed increased or decreased due to...

If pA = $10, PB = $5,Y = $75, where p is the price of a good, A and B are goods, and Y is income. Given that the utility function is U = 25A2B, determine the optimal bundle of x and yfor this consumer. Be sure to show your work and box your answers. a) Solve for the marginal utility of A and the marginal utility of B b) Solve for the relationship (trade-off) between A and B c)...

1. (24 total points) Suppose a consumer’s utility function is given by U(X,Y) = X1/2*Y1/2. Also, the consumer has $72 to spend, and the price of Good X, PX = $4. Let Good Y be a composite good whose price is PY = $1. So on the Y-axis, we are graphing the amount of money that the consumer has available to spend on all other goods for any given value of X. a) (2 points) How much X and Y...

U 1 3 x 3 y 4 = Suppose the price of x is given by px and the price of y is given by Py and the budget income of the consumer is given by 1. Price of x, Price of y and Income are always strictly positive. Assume interior solution. a) Write the statement of the problem (1 point) b) Compute the parametric expressions of the equilibrium quantity of x & y purchased and the maximized utility. You...
