Mr. Clarke likes to consume 7 cinders with 5 dinders. Let c denote cinders and d denote dinders. a. Does Mr. Clarke consider cinders and dinders substitutes or complements? b. Write down a utility function U(c, d) that represents Mr. Clarke’s preferences for cinders and dinders. In a graph with cinders on the horizontal axis and dinders on the vertical axis, draw an indifference curve that represents Mr. Clarke’s preferences. Be sure to label any important points within the graph....

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.

Mr. A derives utility from martinis (m) in proportion to the number he drinks Mr.A is particular about his martinis, however: He only enjoys them made in the exact proportion of two parts gin (g) to one part vermouth (v). Hence, we can rewrite Mr.A's utility function as: The following graph measures gin (g) along the horizontal axis and vermouth (v) along the vertical axis. On the following graph, use the purple points (diamon symbols) to plot Mr.A's indifference curve...
