2. Suppose there are two consumers in a country: consumer 1 and consumer 2. The two consumers have the following Cobb-Douglas utility function defined over consumption of goods X and Y: where 0 < β < 1. Each consumer has a different income, consumer 1 has income 1, while consumer 2 has income 12. For now, we will treat the income of each consumer as given. Denote aggregate income as I 12. (a) (10 points) Derive each consumer's individual Marshallian...

1. When a consumer has a Cobb-Douglas utility function given by u(x, y) = xa yb , their demand for good x is given by x∗ = m/Px (a/a+b) where m is income and Px is the price of good x. Using this demand function, find the formula for this consumer’s price elasticity of demand. Interpret it in words.

05 Question (5 points) See page 100 One of the most common functional forms used in economics is Cobb-Douglas. A Cobb-Douglas utility function takes the formu(I, y) = zºy , where 0 <a < 1. Note that we have imposed the condition that the exponents sum to 1. A monotonic transformation of the function could change that characteristic and still represent the same preferences. However, you will see below that having the exponents sum to 1 leads to a...

2 Aggregate Demand Curves (4 points) Ariadne and her three sisters all have the same preferences, described by the utility function u(z,y) = 2,2y4. The budget constraint for each sister is Is = prz +Pvy, where Is is the sis- ter's income. The demand functions of each sister are given by s Is/(3pz) and ys 2Is/(3p). (a) What is the aggregate demand function for good z, if Ariadne has an income of $30 and her three sisters Bianca, Clara, and...

In the market of cars, there are two firms operating. The Industry Demand Curve is a function of the outputs being produced by both firms, and is given as: P = 240−(X1+X2), where X1 and X2 are the outputs of Firm 1 and Firm 2 respectively. The Total Cost faced by Firm 1 is TC1 = 20X1 and by Firm 2 is TC2 = 20X2. Each firm maximizes its own profit by choosing its own output, while taking the output...

Question: Hi.I need your answer for all from A to G for this question 2*. Assume that Bob has a budget constraint p1x1 + p2x2 = m, and that his preferences are represented by the Cobb-Douglas utility function U(x1, x2) = x1 c x2 d , where c>0 and d>0.
