Sally the Sleek’s preferences can be described by the utility function U(x, y) = x^2y^3/1000. Prices are px = 4 and py = 3; she has an income of $80 to spend. (a) If Sally initially consumed 5 units of x and 20 units of y, how much additional utility does she get from spending one (small fraction of a) dollar more on good x? How much additional utility does she get from spending one (small fraction of a) dollar...

1 Expenditure Minimization (10 points) Sally the Sleek's preferences can be described by the utility function U(z, y)/1024. Prices are Pz 2 and py 4. (a) If Sally initially consumed 10 units of a and 5 units of y, how much could she save if she consumed 8 more (small units of z and kept utility constant?1 Therefore, can it be optimal to consume the bundle (10,5)? (4) in order to attain that utility? (4) round to two decimal places...

3. Suppose an individual has perfect-complements preferences that can be represented by the utility function U(x,y)= min[3x,2y]. Furthermore, suppose that she faces a standard linear budget constraint, with income denoted by m and prices denoted by px and p,, respectively. a) Derive the demand functions for x and y. b) How does demand for the two goods depend on the prices, p, and p, ? Explain.

John has preferences for food F and clothing C described by a utility function U(F,C) = min (F, 2C). Suppose that food costs $1 a unit and that clothing costs $2 a unit. John has $12 to spend on food and clothing. (10 pts.) a) On a graph, draw indifference curves corresponding to u = 6, u = 10, u = 14. Make sure to label coordinates clearly. Using the graph, find the optimal choice of food and clothing. Let...
