Consider the expected utility function 71u (21) + Tzu (22). Let x2 = f (x1, U) describe an indifference curve for this utility function, so that hju (x1) + Tzu (f (x1,U)) = U. Differentiate this expression with respect to x1 to find the slope of an indifference curve. Find the slope of this indifference curve when x1 = 22. Explain why it has this slope.

Suppose a consumer’s preferences over goods 1 and 2 are represented by the utility function U(x1, x2) = (x1 + x2) 3 . Draw an indifference curve for this consumer and indicate its slope.

Assume that an individual’s preferences is represented by the following utility function: ?(?, ?) = (?^1/3)*(y^2/3) a. What could you tell about the type of x and y? (“good” , “bad” or a “neuter”) b. Derive the equation for his/her indifference curve for utility level of 100? c. Derive marginal utility of x and marginal utility of y as a function of x,y. d. Does goods x and y exhibit diminishing marginal utility, constant marginal utility, or increasing marginal utility?...

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...

Diana's utility function for consuming apples (Xa) and Bananas (Xb) is U(Xa,Xb) = XaXb. Suppose the prices of apples is $1, bananas $2, and her income is $40. On a graph with bananas on the y-axis, use blue ink to draw Bianca’s budget line.With red ink, plot an indifference curve that gives her a utility level of 150. Using black ink, plot an indifference curve that gives her a utility level of 300. Can Bianca afford any bundles that give...

Mustapha’s utility function is as follows: U = 10x0.8 y0.6 Budget constraint: 100 = 6x + 4y a. Solve for the utility-maximizing bundle b. Find the equation of the indifference curve that contains the utility-maximizing bundle. c. Sketch the solution, labeling all relevant items, x on the horizontal axis and y on the vertical axis. d. At the utility-maximizing bundle, what is the increase in Mustapha’s utility from the last dollar spent on good X? What about for good Y?...
