Luke's choice behavior can be represented by the utility function u(x1,x2)= x1 + x2
Luke's choice behavior can be represented by the utility function u(x1,x2)= x1 + x2.The prices of x1 and x2 are denoted as p1 and p2, and his income is m. 1. Draw at least three indifference curves and find its slope (i.e. MRS). Is the MRS changing depending on the points of (x1, x2) at which it is evaluated, or constant? 2. Draw a budget constraint assuming that p1 < P2. Find the optimal bundle (x1*,x2*) as a function of income and prices. 3....

Consider two goods, good 1 and good 2. The consumer’s utility function is given by U(x1,x2)=V(x1)+x2. Derive the ordinary demand function of good 1. When the market price of good 1 is given P1=P1' , derive the consumer’s surplus. If the price is changed to P1=P1", prove that the change measured by consumer’s surplus is the same as the Compensating variation. Also prove that it is the same as Equivalent variation.
