Your grandfather purchased a house for $45,000 in 1952 and it has increased in value according to a function
y = v(x),
where x is the number of years owned. These questions probe the future value of the house under various mathematical models. (Let
x = 0 represent the year 1952.)

1. Consumer’s utility function is: U (X,Y) = 10X + Y. Consumer’s income M is 40 euros, the price per unit of good X (i.e. Px ) is 5 euros and the price per unit of good Y (i.e. Py) is 1 euro. a) What is the marginal utility of good X (MUx) for the consumer? ( Answer: MUx = 10) b) What is the marginal utility of good Y (MUy) for the consumer? ( Answer: MUy = 1) c)...
In this exercise, you will analyze the supply-demand equilibrium of a city under some special simplifying assumptions about land-use. The assumptions are: (i) all dwellings must contain exactly 1500 square feet of floor space, regardless of location, and (ii) apartment complexes must contain exactly 15,000 square feet of floor space per square block of land area. These land-use restrictions, which are imposed by a zoning authority, mean that dwelling sizes and building heights do not vary with distance to the...
