Luke's choice behavior can be represented by the utility function u(x1,x2)= x1 + x2
Luke's choice behavior can be represented by the utility function u(x1,x2)= x1 + x2.The prices of x1 and x2 are denoted as p1 and p2, and his income is m. 1. Draw at least three indifference curves and find its slope (i.e. MRS). Is the MRS changing depending on the points of (x1, x2) at which it is evaluated, or constant? 2. Draw a budget constraint assuming that p1 < P2. Find the optimal bundle (x1*,x2*) as a function of income and prices. 3....

Assume that a consumer’s preferences are given by u(x1, x2) = 10x11/2 * x21/2 Currently, m = 200 and p1 = 10 and p2 = 20. Suppose now that p1 increases to p'1 = 20. What is the total effect of this price change in the optimal consumption of the two goods for the consumer, and what are the substitution and income effects? Step 1:Solve the consumer’s problem given her preferences (described by u) and under the assumptions that m =...
