Consider a consumer whose preferences over bundles of non-negative amounts of each of two commodities can be represented by a utility function of the form U (, x2) - 4x +2 20x1 Suppose that this consumer is a price taker who faces a finite constant per-unit price for commodity The consumer is endowed with income of y. Throughout this question you may assume one of pi 0 and a finite constant per-unit price for commodity two of p2 > 0....

Suppose that there two goods X and Y, available in arbitrary non- negative quantities (so the the consumption set is R2). The consumer has preferences over consumption bundles that are strongly monotone, strictly convex, and represented by the following (differentiable) utility function: u(x, y)-y+2aVT, where z is the quantity of good X, and y is the quantity of good Y, and a 20 is a utility parameter The consumer has strictly positive wealth w > 0. The price of good...

Utility maximization with more than two goods Suppose that there four goods Q, R, X and Y , available in arbitrary non-negative quantities (so the the consumption set is R 4 +). A typical consumption bundle is therefore a vector (q, r, x, y), where q ≥ 0 is the quantity of good Q, r ≥ 0 is the quantity of good R, x ≥ 0 is the quantity of good X, and y ≥ 0 is the quantity of...

Q1. Suppose consumer consumes two goods, X and Y. The price of X is P x , price of Y is P Y and the consumer income is m. a. Derive and interpret the budget constraint and its slope. b. If slope is -3, how will you interpret it? c. Suppose a government wants to discourage the excessive consumption of X and decides to impose a tax t 1 if someone consume more than X 1 but less than X...

2. (24 points) Suppose a consumer has preferences represented by the utility function U(X,Y)- X2Y Suppose Py, and the consumer has $300 to spend. Draw the Price-Consumption Curve for this consumer for income values Px-1, Px 2, and Px- 5. Your graph should accurately draw the budget constraints for each income level and specifically label the bundles that the consumer chooses for each income level. Also, for each bundle that the consumer chooses, draw the indifference curve that goes through...

Draw indifference curves to represent the following types of consumer preferences (put good-x on the x-axis and good-y on the y-axis). Make sure to include arrows to indicate direction of preference. (Hint: Start with a bun- dle (say 10 units of each), and think about other bundles that give the consumer the same utility.) a) A situation where the tangency condition is always satised. b) A situation with a basket that has positive amounts of both goods that satises the...

Suppose that there two goods, X and Y , available in arbitrary nonnegative quantities (so the the consumption set is R 2 +). The consumer has preferences over consumption bundles that are monotone, strictly convex, and represented by the following (differentiable) utility function: u(x, y) = α √ x + (1 − α) √ y, where x is the quantity of good X, y is the quantity of good Y , and α ≥ 0 is a utility parameter. The...

Utility Maximization with Non-Monotone Preferences Suppose there are two goods, coffee (C) and tea (T). The consumption set is R 2 +, so both goods can be consumed in arbitrary non-negative quantities. Abdul owns 2000 grams of coffee but does not own any tea. He has no other wealth. The price of coffee is pC = 2 (in Dhs per gram) and the price of tea is pT > 0 (in Dhs per gram). Abdul can sell coffee to earn...

Description of the economy: For each of the following problems, consider a 2x2 Exchange Economy with two consumers A and B, and two goods X and Y . The preferences of consumer A can be represented by the utility function uA(xA, yA) = xAyA , where xA is the amount of good A consumed by consumer A, and yA is the amount of good Y consumed by consumer A. The preferences of consumer B can be represented by the utility...
