Clara consumes two goods x and y. Suppose her utility function is given as U(x,y)=min{3x,4y} The prices of the two goods are Px for good x and Py for good y. If her monthly income is $M, Derive her uncompensated demand function for good x Derive her uncompensated demand function for good y Derive the cross-price effects and show that the two goods are complementary goods.

Suppose that a consumer’s utility function is U(x,y)=xy＋10y. the marginal utilities for this utility function are MUx=y and MUy=x＋10. The price of x is Px and the price of y is Py, with both prices positive. The consumer has income I. (this problem shows that an optimal consumption choice need not be interior, and may be at a corner point.) Assume first that we are at an interior optimum. Show that the demand schedule for x can be written as...

The utility function is given by U(x, y) = xy2 . (a) Write out the demand functions for goods x and y in terms of I, px, and py. (b) What is the maximum utility the consumer can achieve as a function of I, px, and py? (c) What is the minimum the consumer needs to spend to achieve a level of utility U as a function of px, and py? (d) The initial income is $576, initial prices are...

4. Andy's utility is represented by the function U(X,Y) - XY. His marginal utility of X is MUx = Y. His marginal utility of Y is MUY = . He has income $12. When the prices are Px - 1 and Py -1, Andy's optimal consumption bundle is X* -6 and Y' = 6. When the prices are Px = 1 and P, = 4, Andy's optimal consumption bundle is X** = 6 and Y* 1.5. Suppose the price of...
