Happy Goluki likes tea (good 1) and cookies (good 2) Her preferences are represented by the utility function U(q1,q2) (q1)05(q2)0.5, where q1 is the number of cups of tea and q2 is the number of cookies Goluki is given I-$180 that she is allowed to spend as she wishes on tea and cookies. a) Calculate Goluki's optimal bundle if the price of tea is p1=$1 and the price of cookies s p2 $2. Call this bundle A and show it...
Diogo has a utility function, U(q1, q2) = q1^.8q2^.2, where q1 is chocolate candy and q2 is slices of pie. If the price of slices of pie, p2, is $5.00, the price of chocolate candy, p1, is $10.00, and income, Y, is $100, what is Diogo's optimal bundle? The optimal value of good q1 is?
1. Suppose the utility function for goods q1 and q2 is given by U(q1, q2) = q1q2 + q2 (a) Calculate the uncompensated (Marshallian) demand functions for q1 and q2 (b) Describe how the uncompensated demand curves for q1 and q2 are shifted by changes in income (Y) or the price of the other good. (c) Calculate the expenditure function for q1 and q2 such that minimum expenditure = E(p1, p2, U) (d) Use the expenditure function calculated in part...
1. (24 total points) Suppose a consumer’s utility function is given by U(X,Y) = X1/2*Y1/2. Also, the consumer has $72 to spend, and the price of Good X, PX = $4. Let Good Y be a composite good whose price is PY = $1. So on the Y-axis, we are graphing the amount of money that the consumer has available to spend on all other goods for any given value of X. a) (2 points) How much X and Y...
Assume that Sam has following utility function: U(x,y) = 2√x+y. Assume px = 1/5, py = 1 and her income I = 10. (e) Draw an optimal bundle which is the result of utility maximization under given budget set. (Hint: Assume interior solution). Define corresponding expenditure minimization problem (note the elements for expenditure minimization problem are (i) objective function, (ii) constraint, (iii) what to choose). (f)Describeaboutwhatthedualityproblemis. Definemarshalliandemandfuction andhicksiandemandfunction. (Hint: identifytheinputfactorsofthesefunctions.) (g) Consider a price increase for the good x from...
A consumer has a demand function for good 2, ?2, that depends on the price of good 1, ?1, the price of good 2, ?2, and income, ?, given by ?2 = 2 + 240 + 2?1. Initially, assume ? = ??2 40, ?2 = 1, and ?1 = 2. Then the price of good 2 increases to ?2′ = 3. a) What is the total change in demand for good 2? [2 marks] b) Calculate the amount of good...
Anna spends all her income on wine (good 1) and cheese (good 2). Her utility function is u(x1; x2) = x1x2. Her income is m = $200. The prices for the two goods are p1 = $20 and p2 = $10 respectively. Find Annaís optimal consumption bundle. Show the complete calculations, and illustrate your answer graphically (draw the indi§erence curve and the budget constraint). How would your answer change to part (a) if Annaís utility function were given by v(x1;...
h. U(1, 2 For the utility function above, find the consumer's optimal consumption bundle when prices of goods 1 and 2 are pl and p2, and the consumer has an income m. 1. 2. For the utility function above, find the consumer's optimal consumption bundle when prices of goods 1 and 2 are pl and p2, and the consumer has an endowment (el, e2) of the two goods. For each of your answers in question 2, write down the consumer...
Problem 1: Alice’s utility function is ?(?, ?) = √?√? where ? is her consumption of good 1 and ? is her consumption of good 2. Denote Alice’s income by ?, and denote the prices of good 1 and 2 by ?? and ?? respectively. A) Derive the formula for Alice’s marginal rate of substitution. B) Write down the two equations necessary to solve for Alice’s optimal values of ? and ?. C) Using the equations from part B, solve...
