Anna's utility function is given by U (r.y) = (r + 3) (y + 2), where I and y are the two goods she consumes. The price of good r is p ,. The price of good y is Py. Her income is m. (a) Write her maximization problem and find her demand functions for the two goods. Is it always possible to have an interior solution? Justify your answer. (b) Are the two goods ordinary or giffen? Are the...

2. Consider the following four consumers (C1,C2,C3,C4) with the following utility functions: Consumer Utility Function C1 u(x,y) = 2x+2y C2 u(x,y) = x^3/4y^1/4 C3 u(x,y) = min(x,y) C4 u(x,y) = min(4x,3y) On the appropriate graph, draw each consumer’s indifference curves through the following points: (2,2), (4,4), (6,6) and (8,8), AND label the utility level of each curve. Hint: Each grid should have 4 curves on it representing the same preferences but with different utility levels. 3. In the following parts,...

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 1 3 x 3 y 4 = Suppose the price of x is given by px and the price of y is given by Py and the budget income of the consumer is given by 1. Price of x, Price of y and Income are always strictly positive.

A consumer has the utility function U(X, Y) = (X + 2)(Y + 4). Her income is...
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...
