) A consumer's utility function is given by: U(x,y) = 10xy Currently, the prices of goods x and y are $3 and $5, respectively, and the consumer's income is $150 . a. Find the MRS for this consumer for any given bundle (x,y) . b. Find the optimal consumption bundle for this consumer. c. Suppose the price of good x doubles. How much income is required so that the Econ 201 Beomsoo Kim Spring 2018 consumer is able to purchase...

Consumer's Surplus A consumer has the utility function U(, y)v) where is the good in concern ail y is the money that can be spent on all other goods (so the price of y is normalized to be 1). The income of - this consumer is 100. Bi Pr X10 (In(x)y) (10%) Derive the demand function of z for this consumer. (10%) Calculate the price elasticity of the demand function in (b) Is it true that the absolute value of...

Consider the following utility function of 3 goods, x, y and z: U(x,y,z)=ax+by+cz; x,y,z≥0 and a, b, c are constants. The prices of good x and y is denoted by pX and pY respectively. The income is denoted by m. Good z is provided by the government free of cost but the quantity of good z provided by the government depends on the consumption of good x and y chosen by the consumer. For example, if in equilibrium, the consumer...

Consumer's surplus: A consumer has the utility function U(x,y) =e^((ln(X)+Y)^1/3) where X is the good in concern and Y is the money that can be spent on all other goods. (So the price of Y is normalized to be 1). The income of this consumer is 100. (a) (10pts) Derive the demand function of x for this consumer. Make sure that at every price of x, the consumer always has enough income to buy the amount of x as indicated...

3. A consumer's utility function is: u x025y0.7s where x and y are two goods () Suppose total income is £10,000 and the prices of the two goods are £4 and £6 respectively. Use constrained optimisation to find the consumer's demand for both goods. Now replace the price of the second good with p. Find a formula for the consumer's demand for this good. Draw the demand curve and comment on its properties (ii) (ii) What is the own-price elasticity...

Consider the following utility function of 2 goods, x and y: U(x,y)= - [(x-10)2 + (y-10)2]; x,y≥0 The prices of good x and y is 10 and 20 respectively. The income is denoted by m. a. Draw the indifference curves for the utility function and use arrows to explain in which direction utility increases or decreases. b. Find the consumption bundle that maximizes utility for the consumer. c. Find the Engel curve.
