QUESTION 11 Scenario 1: Tom's budget constraint is given by PxX +PyY = 40, and Px= $5, Py = $4. Suppose Tom's utility function is given by the equation U= 2XY, where is the level of utility measured in utils and X and Y refert good X and good Y, respectively. You are also told that the marginal utility of good X can be expressed as MUX = 2Y; and the marginal utility of good Y can be expressed as...

Joyce's utility function is as follows: U= 10X2Y3 Where, X, is the quantity of good X consumed, Y, is the quantity of good Y consumed and, U, is Joyce's utility function. The general budget constraint for the two goods is a follow: B=PxX + PYY A. Derive Joyce's Marshallian demand equation for good X. Also compute her demand for good X when B= 500, and the price of good X is 1 and 2. Also draw the Marshallian demand curve...
