For the utility function U(x, z) x+z derive expressions for the optimal levels of good x and good z as functions of the price of good x, py, the price of good z, p7, and income, Y. For simplicity, assume that the price of good z is normalized to be one: PZ 1 1 In your answer, use 1 for "p2" and the relationship o 1- The optimal value of good z is (Properly format your expression using the tools...
Vasco's utility function is: U = 10x²z The price of X is px = $2, the price of Z is pz = $4, and his income is $60. What is his optimal bundle? (round your answer to two decimal places) X= Z. = units units
Consider the following utility function, u(x1;x2) = min [sqrt (x1); sqrt(ax2)]; where a > 0 a)Derive the Marshallian demand functions. (Explain your derivation in details.) Does the Marshallian demand increase with price? Are the two consumption goods normal goods? (b)Show two different ways to derive the Hicksian demand functions. Does the Hicksian demand increase with price?
i need help with (b) and (c)!!! thank u!!!! Jeanette has the following utility function: U= a*In(x) + b*In(y), where a+b=1 a) For a given amount of income I, and prices Px. Py, find Jeanette's Marshallian demand functions for X and Y and her indirect utility function. (6 points) b) From now on, you can use the fact that the utility parameters are a=0.2 and b=0.8. Find the Hicksian demand functions and the corresponding expenditure function. (6 points) c) Suppose...
A consumer has the utility function over goods X and Y, U(X; Y) = X1/3Y1/2 Let the price of good x be given by Px, let the price of good y be given by Py, and let income be given by I. Derive the consumer’s generalized demand function for good X. Solve for the Marshallian Demand for X and Y using Px, and Py (there are no numbers—use the notation). c. Is good Y normal or inferior? Explain precisely.
U(X,Y,Z) = 10x67.73 Write the Lagrangean Function and the first-order conditions for utility maximization of this function. Now solve this equation for the X, Y, and Z as a function of the prices. Px, PY, and Pz and income, I.
2) A consumer's utility function is a(x,y) = (a) Find the consumer's optimal choice for x as a function of income I and prices px,Py' (b) Sketch the demand curve for x as a function of its own price Pz when py = 10, 1 = 100. (It may be easiest to plot a few points.)
1. Clara's utility function is U(X,Y)= (x + 2)(Y +1). a) Write an equation for Clara's indifference curve that goes through the point(X,Y)-(2,8). b) Suppose that the price of each good is one and that Clara has an income of 11.
