Exercise 3. Slutsky (Quasilinear) The utility function is u = x + xy, and the budget constraint is m=P,X, + P2XZ. a) Derive the optimal demand curve for good 1, x,(PP2), and good 2, x2(m, PP.). b) Looking at the cross price effects (@x_/ôp, and Ox_/ôp.) are goods x, and X, substitutes or complements? Looking at income effects (@x,lôm and Ox_lām) are goods x, and X, inferior, normal or neither? c) Assume m=100, =0.5...
3. Suppose an individual has perfect-complements preferences that can be represented by the utility function U(x,y)= min[3x,2y]. Furthermore, suppose that she faces a standard linear budget constraint, with income denoted by m and prices denoted by px and p,, respectively. a) Derive the demand functions for x and y. b) How does demand for the two goods depend on the prices, p, and p, ? Explain.
1) Given the following demand function Q=8.5-p+0.1y a) Derive a formular for the price elasticity of demand and income elasticity of demand. b) find the elasticity if p=6 and y=1000 c) what will happen to price elasticity of demand if income varies. d) what will happen to income elasticity of demand if income varies. e) derive the total revenue function. show that the relationship between price and revenue depends on elasticity (Assume y = 0).
Consider a customer (i) with a utility function u(x, y) = 200x − 25x2 + y where the price of good x is $p, and the price of the composite good y is one dollar ($1). Also, assume that each consumer has an income I. (MUx=200-50x , and MUy=1) Derive the consumer's demand function for good x. Now, consider an economy with 100 exact same type of consumers. Calculate an aggregate demand for only good x. Now, consider a firm...
Suppose a consumer has the following utility function: u(x,y) = x??(1-?) Price o f x= $3, price of ? = $7, and ? (alpha) = 0,3. a) what is the Hicksian demand for goods x and y? Use the LaGrange method or MRS. b) Draw the graph of the minimization (budget constraint). Please provide step behind the solution. Thanks!
