The demand function for good X is as follows: X= 25 + 5Py + 5B -2Px A. What is the slope of this demand curve? B. If Px=10, Py=3, and B= 10 derive the: a. Own demand elasticity at these values b. Cross elasticity at these values c. Income elasticity at these values. C. Is good X elastic or inelastic at these values for income, price of good Y and price of good X? Is good Y a substitute or complementary good? And, is good X an...
1. Ms. Rada has a utility function u(x,y) = xy and an income of $250. Suppose the price of good y is $4 a unit. Find the consumer’s demand function for good x. (a.) x* = 125/(4Px) (b.) x* = 125/Px (c.) x* = 250/Px (d.) x* = 250/(0.5Px) 2. A consumer has a demand curve of X = 550 – 2.5Px– 10M, where Pxis the price of good X, and M is income. In this case, good X is...
Suppose that the demand and supply functions for good X are Qd = 56 – 2PX + 0.01M +7PR Qs = -600 + 10PX Where PX is the sales price of good X, M is average consumer income, PR is the price of a related good. Is good X a normal or inferior good? Are good X and R complements of substitutes? Explain? Suppose M = $50,000 and PR = $20 What is the direct demand function for good X?...
A consumer has the utility function over goods X and Y, U(X; Y) = X1/3Y1/2 Let the price of good x be given by Px, let the price of good y be given by Py, and let income be given by I. Derive the consumer’s generalized demand function for good X. Solve for the Marshallian Demand for X and Y using Px, and Py (there are no numbers—use the notation). c. Is good Y normal or inferior? Explain precisely.
1 Elasticity This problem continues on from the previous homework. Consider the market for good X. The demand function is and the supply function is Px, Py, and Pz are the prices of goods X, Y, and Z. M is the average consumer income Suppose market research determines that M 105, Py 20, and Pz 10. 1.a Caleulate the cross-price clasticities of demand with respect to good Y and good Z at the market cquilibrium. Are goods Y and Z...
