( Microecomincs Book ) The Answers with Details Q1 Miriam is a college student who spends all of her weekly allowance of S100 (income) on entertainment (X) and health food (Y). P.-S10, Py = $5. and Miriam is originally in equilibrium at point A on the graph below. Ia. Write down the equation for Miriam's weekly budget constraint and label the intersections of the constraint line on the X-axis and on the Y-axis. Health Food (Y) Yi Entertainment (X) Question...
A consumer has the utility function U(X, Y) = (X + 2)(Y + 4). Her income is $100, the price of X is $4, and the price of Y is $5. In order to maximize utility subject to her budget constraint, how many units of X and Y will our consumer choose to purchase? Sketch a budget line – indifference curve diagram illustrating this optimum. Label this optimum A. Suppose the price of X increases to $8, while income and the price...
Suppose an individual’s utility function for two goods X and Y is givenby U(X,Y) = X^(3/4)Y^(1/4) Denote the price of good X by Px, price of good Y by Py and the income of the consumer by I. a) (2 points) Write down the budget constraint for the individual. b) (4 points) Derive the marginal utilities of X and Y. c) (3 points) Derive the expression for the marginal rate of substitution of X for Y. Write down the tangency...
3) (4pts. Consider a consumer who spends all his income on two goods, say 804 that good 1 is an inferior good at the current prices and income). If the price and also the income of the consumer doubles, how does his demand for good at all. Explain. all his income on two goods, say good 1 and good 2. Assume ces and income). If the price of both goods double w does his demand for good 1 change, if...
