Lorelai's choice behavior can be represented by the utility function 11(xi, X2) = 0.91n(xi) + 0.1x2 The prices of both x and x2 are $5 and she has an income of $40. 1. What preference does this utility function represent? (Hint: the utility is function is not linear, but at least linear in good x2.) 2. Drawinwg indifference curves: you can copy down the graph on your paper using econgraphs. Set the preferences and parameters accordingly as given in the...

4. Andy's utility is represented by the function U(X,Y) - XY. His marginal utility of X is MUx = Y. His marginal utility of Y is MUY = . He has income $12. When the prices are Px - 1 and Py -1, Andy's optimal consumption bundle is X* -6 and Y' = 6. When the prices are Px = 1 and P, = 4, Andy's optimal consumption bundle is X** = 6 and Y* 1.5. Suppose the price of...
20. A consumer has a utility function of U = xx for good 1 and 2. The price of one unit of good 1 is 2 and the price of good 2 is 4 per unit. In this case, if the consumer is choosing the optimal (utility- maximising) bundle: а. x2 2.5 с. 1 d. 50 e. None of the above 21. A consumer has a utility function of U = xx3 for good 1 and 2.

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...
Question 4: Consider a general utility function U(xi, x2). Let's now solve for the optimal bundle generally using the Lagrangian Method. 1. Write down the objective function and constraint in math 2. Set up the Lagrangian Equation 3. Fnd the first derivatives. 4, Find the first order conditions, what's the interpretation for λ? 5. Rearrange them to get the tangency condition.
Vasco's utility function is: U = 10x²z The price of X is px = $2, the price of Z is pz = $4, and his income is $60. What is his optimal bundle? (round your answer to two decimal places) X= Z. = units units
Diogo has a utility function: U = 100X0.8Z0.2 The price of X is Px = $10, the price of Z is Pz = $2, and his income is $800. What is Diogo's optimal bundle? (roundyour answer to one decimal place) Xo = units Zo = units
