Draw the demand curve for X1 as a function of p1.: b. At a price of p1 = $1, how much X1 and X2 does Modou consume?: c. A per unit tax of $0.60 is placed on X1. How much of good X1 will he consume now?:...
1. Consider the utility function: u(x1,x2) = x1 +x2. Find the corresponding Hicksian demand function 2. For each of the three utility functions below, find the substitution effect, the income effect, and the total effect that result when prices change from p = (2,1) to p' = (2,4). Assume the consumer has income I = 20. (a) Before doing any calculation, make an educated guess about the relative magnitude of the three substitution effects and the three income effects to be found below. (b)...

Cursue a consumer with preferences described by (x1, x2) = x1 + x2 Suppose she faces prices pi 1 and P2 = 1/2 and that she has an income of I = 2. For your reference, the marginal utilities at a bundle (x1, x2) in this setting are given by MU (x1, x2) = 1 MU?(x), x2) = 2V x2 3(a) Write down the two equations which characterize the consumer's utility-maximizing bundle (X1.3) in this situation. In other words, write...
