2) Suppose that the price of good X is $2 and the price of good Y is $3. You have $90 to spend and your preferences over X and Y are defined as: U(x,y) = x2/3y1/3 Keep in mind that we review this concept because consumer choice is based on their preferences. People demand items that fulfill their Utility (perhaps happiness). As a result, we need to visualize how an individual’s budget is allocated to create the highest level...

6. Suppose that the price of good X is $1 and the price of good Y is $1, and that income is $7. The following tables show the marginal utility schedules for X and Y: Good X: Good Y: Qx MUx Qy MUy 1 15 1 12 2 11 2 9 3 9 3 6 4 6 4 5 5 4 5 3 6 3 6 2 7 1 7 1 How much of good X and how much of good Y should the individual purchase to maximize utility? Explain how you know. (Hint: There are 2 conditions that must be satisfied.)
3. Kebbie spends all her income on good X and good Y. As the price of good X increases while the price of the price of good Y remains fixed, Kebbie's price-consumption curve is horizontal. a) Let the price of good Y be $1 per unit and Kebbie's income be M. Draw the diagram that illustrates the situation described above. b) Is good X a complement or a substitute for good Y? Explain. c) What is Kebbie's price elasticity of...

4. Devon's preferences over food and a composite good are given by u(x, y) = xy , where x is the quantity of food and y is the quantity of composite good. His income is $120 per week. a) Find Devon's optimal bundle when the price of food is $4 per unit. b) Calculate Devon's income and substitution effects of a decrease in the price of food to $2 per unit.
Doreen has a utility function U(x, y) = 10x + 5y. The price of good x is $1, and the price of good y is $2. If Doreen's income is $100, how many units of good y would she consume if she chose the bundle that maximizes her utility subject to her budget constraint?
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...
