Question #2
In this part you are going to use the concepts in the first part to analyze the following scenario which has 6 parts (A through F).
Suppose our agent's income is $240. Only two goods exist for our agent, good X and good Y. Good X costs $10 per unit and Good Y costs $12 per unit. Assume this agent has indifference curves that look like those typically drawn in class.
Of the following bundles below, circle which bundle could possibly be an optimal consumption bundle (OCB) for this agent.
(11 units X, 12 units Y) (12 units X, 10 units Y) (13 units X, 8 units Y)
Explain how you got your answer in part (A). Why could the bundle you selected be an OCB, why couldn't the other bundles be an OCB?
Given this price change, and given the OCB you selected above, circle which of the following bundles could be Point B (where the change between the OCB and Point B represents the substitution effect):
(10 units X, 12 units Y) (12 units X, 15 units Y) (10 units X, 10 units Y)
Explain how you got your answer in part (C).

Suppose our agent's income is $240. Only two goods exist for our agent, good X and good Y. Good X costs $10 per unit and Good Y costs $12 per unit. Assume this agent has indifference curves that look like those typically drawn in class. Now suppose the price of Good Y decreases to $8 per unit. The price of Good X is still $10 per unit. A.Given this price change, and given the OCB you selected above, circle which...

1 Discrete goods Consider a setting withn 2 goods, here each good must be purchased in discrete one-unit increments. However, they need not be consumed that way each good is infinitely divisible once purchased and the agent may throw away portions if she so desires. Prices are linear, with P1 = 2 and P2-1. The agent's wealth is w = 8. 1. Draw the agent's budget set. 2. Suppose the agent has utility U(x) = r r . Find 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...

1.a) Consider an agent who will live for two periods with utility function U(x1, x2) = x1 * x * . The agent receives incomes 11 and 12 in periods 1 and 2 respectively. If the market interest rate is r = 10% and 14 = $10 and 12 = $10, solve for the agent's optimal consumption in each period. Graph the budget constraint and some indifference curves.
