Suppose an individual’s utility function is u=x11/2, x21/2. Let p1=4, p2=5, and income equal $200. With a general equation and general prices, derive the equal marginal principle. Graphically illustrate equilibrium and disequilibrium conditions and how consumers can reallocate their consumption to maximize utility. What is the optimal amount of x1 consumed? What is the optimal amount of x2 consumed? What is the marginal rate of substitution at the optimal amounts of x1 and x2? As functions of p1, p2, and...

Consider a consumer whose utility function is given by U(x, y) = x^1/3 y^2/3, where x and y represent quantities of consumption of two consumer goods. (a) If the consumer’s income is $100 and the prices of x and y are both $1, how should the consumer maximize her utility? What is her maximum level of utility? (b) If the price of y rose to $2, what would be the resulting income and substitution effects? Illustrate your answer.

5. Consider the utility function U(x, y) = 2/x + y. 1) Is the assumption that "more is better” satisfied for both goods? 2) What is MRS, for this utility function? 3) Is the marginal rate of substitution diminishing, constant, or increasing in x as the consumer substitutes x for y along an indifference curve? 4) Will the indifference curve corresponding to this utility function be convex to the origin, concave to the origin, or straight lines? Explain.
