Derive indirect utility function when facing Px, Py and I; from the below (direct) utility from consumption of x and y:
U(x,y)=x^0.5+y^0.5
Why do we bother calculating the indirect utility function? Briefly explain.

(Use this information to answer a, b, c below) Suppose Mary’s utility function for two goods X and Y is given by: U(X,Y) = 3X1/2Y1/2 . Suppose consumption bundle A consists of 10 units of X and 30 units of Y, and consumption bundle B consists of 40 units of X and 20 units of Y. a. Consumption bundle A lies on a higher/lower/same indifference curve than consumption bundle B. Show computations. b. Compute Mary’s MRSxy at consumption bundle A....
Consider the following individual (indirect) expenditure function: E(px, py, U) = 2(px py U)1/2. At price px = 20, py = 40 and U = 200, the quantity demand xc (on this individual compensated demand curve) is [xc]. Hint: Use the Shephard lemma to derive this individual compensated demand function.

3. If the utility is given by U(X,Y)= X +4Y and px = 1, the indirect utility is given by PY I (a) 4py I (b) py 41 (c) рү 21 (d) py
Let the Utility Function be U = X3/4Y1/4 where PX = $1; PY = $2; I = $15 Solve for Marshallian Demand (0.5 Points) Solve for Hicksian Demand (0.5 Points) What level of Utility is achieved at these quantities, prices and income? (0.5 Points)
Given a utility function U(x,y) = xy. The price of x is Px, while the price of y is Py. The income is I. Suppose at period 0, Px = Py = $1 and income = $8. At period 1, price of x (Px) is changed to $4. Compute the price effect, substitution effect, and income effect for good x from the price change.
An econometrician has statistically estimated the following Marshallian demand functions for a good ?: ?M(Px?,I)= 0.5(I/Px) ??? ?M(?Py?,I)?= 0.5(I/Py) ?? In addition, she was able to derive the following indirect utility function consistent with her statistical estimations: ? ?( ?x ? , ?y ? , I) ? = 0.5 ∙ I ∙ ?x-0.5 ? ∙ ?y-0.5 Now she claims that the Slutsky equation does not hold for her functions and asks you to check this: a) Compute the expenditure function...
Income and substitution, Compensating Variation: Show your work in the steps below. Consider the utility function u(x,y)-x"y a. Derive an expression for the Marshallian Demand functions. b. Demonstrate that the income elasticity of demand for either good is unitary 1. Explain how this relates to the fact that individuals with Cobb-Douglas preferences will always spend constant fraction α of their income on good x. Derive the indirect utility function v(pxPod) by substituting the Marshallian demands into the utility function C....
