Q2 For each of the following utility functions, derive the consumer's Marshallian demand functions, 21(P1, P2, B) and x (P1, P2, B), and calculate 11 (income elasticity of good 1), €1 (own-price elasticity of good 1), and €12 (cross-price elasticity). a U(x1, x2) = 21 b U(x1, x2) = 2.925-a for a € (0,1) CU(21, 12) = ln(21) + x2 where B > P2.
The utility function is u = x1½ + x2, and the budget constraint is m = p1x1 + p2x2. Derive the optimal demand curve for good 1, x1(p1, p2), and good 2, x2(m, p1, p2). Looking at the cross price effects (∂x1/∂p2 and ∂x2/∂p1) are goods x1 and x2 substitutes or complements? Looking at income effects (∂x1/∂m and ∂x2/∂m) are goods x1 and x2 inferior, normal or neither? Assume m=100, p1=0.5 and p2=1. Using the demand function you derived in...

Yes/no d. Assume that the above prices and income have all doubled. How does this change your solution in a?
An individual has the utility function: U(x1,x2,x3) = ln x1 + ln x2 + 0.5ln x3. The price of good x1 is p1, the price of good x2 is p2 = 1 and the price of good x3 is p3. The individual’s income is I. Derive the Marshallian demand functions (x1* , x2*, x3* ).
Consider the following utility function, u(x1;x2) = min [sqrt (x1); sqrt(ax2)]; where a > 0 a)Derive the Marshallian demand functions. (Explain your derivation in details.) Does the Marshallian demand increase with price? Are the two consumption goods normal goods? (b)Show two different ways to derive the Hicksian demand functions. Does the Hicksian demand increase with price?
