Derive the Marshallian demand functions for Goods X, and X, by maximizing following utility-maximizing problem. What restrictions does a Cobb-Douglas lity function (preferences) impose on demand functions? Explain your answer. marks) 1/4 Maximize u = x;"/4x2 4x, + 2x, = 100 Subject to - Use the information in above to derive the consumer's indirect utility anction (value function) and then prove Roy's identity (10 marks)
2. (25%) Consider a consumer with preferences represented by the utility function: u(x1, x2) = min {axı, bx2} If the income of the consumer is w > 0 and the prices are p1 > 0 and P2 > 0. (a) Derive the Marshallian demands. Be sure to show all your work. (b) Derive the indirect utility function. (c) Does the utility function: û(x1, x2) = axı + bx2 represent the same preferences?
A consumer's preferences are given by the following utility function: u(x,y) = xy Assume Pold = 1, Py = 1, and I = 8. a. Solve for the Marshallian demand functions of x and y (your answer should have numbers, not variables. You should round your answers to three decimal places): * old 4 y = 4 b. What is the utility associated with these demands, prices, and income? u = 16 c. Suppose the price of x rises to...
