2.Optional Question on duality for those who welcome a challenge Consider the same utility function as given by: U(X, Y) = X-Y For the primal problem, find the Marshallian uncompensated demand functions, X(Px Ру and y(Rs Py, by maximizing utility subject to budget constraint Px. X + Ру.Y - I. After obtaining the optimal consumption choices, write down the indirect utility function. Give a simple diagrammatic and economic interpretation. Illustrate the use of the indirect utility function by plugging in...
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.

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...
Consider the following utility function over goods 1 and 2, plnx1 +3lnx2: (a) [15 points] Derive the Marshallian demand functions and the indirect utility function. (b) [15 points] Using the indirect utility function that you obtained in part (a), derive the expenditure function from it and then derive the Hicksian demand function for good 1. (c) [10 points] Using the functions you have derived in the above, show that i. the indirect utility function is homogeneous of degree zero in...
Derive indirect utility function when facing Px, Py and I; from the below (direct) utility from consumption of x and y: U(x,y)=x^0.5+y^0.5 Why do we bother calculating the indirect utility function? Briefly explain.
CV=Compensating Variation EV=Equivalent Variation 3. Utility maximization under constraint, substitution and income effect, CV and EV (20 points) Josh gets utility (satisfaction) from two goods, A and B, according to the utility function U(A,B) = 5A1/4B3/4. While Luke would like to consume as much as possible he is limited by his income. a. Maximize Josh's utility subject to the budget constraint using the Lagrangean method. b. Suppose PA increase. Show graphically the income, substitution effect and total effect and explain....
Can you please show the work? Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. 3) Suppose that an individual with income I cares about two goods, X and Y. The price of the two goods is Px and Py. Suppose an individual have the following utility function: U(X,Y)- min(X,Y) a) Find the Marshallian demand for X and Y. b) Find the indirect utility function. c) Find the expenditure function using the relationship between the indirect utility function and the expenditure...
