The utility function would be as .
(a) The budget constraint would be . The optimal combination of goods would be where or or or or or .
Putting this in the constraint, we have or or or , and since , we have or or . These are the required Marshallian demand functions.
For the utility function be U=f(x,y) and the Marshallian demand functions be x*(Px,I) and y*(Py,I), the indirect utility function would be U*=f(x*,y*). In this case, the indirect utility function would be as or or or or .
how to find indirect utility function here? Jeanette has the following utility function: U-ain(x) + b*In(y), where...
i need help with (b) and (c)!!! thank u!!!! Jeanette has the following utility function: U= a*In(x) + b*In(y), where a+b=1 a) For a given amount of income I, and prices Px. Py, find Jeanette's Marshallian demand functions for X and Y and her indirect utility function. (6 points) b) From now on, you can use the fact that the utility parameters are a=0.2 and b=0.8. Find the Hicksian demand functions and the corresponding expenditure function. (6 points) c) Suppose...
i need help with part c!!!!!!!! plz show me how u solve it Michael has the following Utility function: U=X04Y06 a) For a given amount of income I, and prices Px, Py, find Michael 's Marshallian demand functions for X and Y b) Are and Y normal or inferior goods? c) Find the Hicksian demand functions. Vand V and the prices of these goods are Px

7. A consumer has the following utility function for goods X and Y: U(X,Y) 5XY3 +10 The consumer faces prices of goods X and Y given by px and py and has an income given by I. (5 marks) Solve for the Demand Equations, X (px,py,I) and Y*(px,py,I) a. b. (5 marks) Calculate the income, own-price and cross-price elasticities of demand for X and Y
3. (14 points) A consumer's utility function is given by U(x,y) = x1/2y1/2 (1) Find the consumer's Marshallian demand functions. (2) Find the consumer's compensated demand functions. (3) Suppose the price of good y is Py = $1 per unit and the consumer's income is 1 = $20. Find the total effects on good x and good y when the price of good x increases from px - $1 per unit to p} = $2 per unit.

A consumer has the utility function over goods X and Y, U(X; Y) = X1/3Y1/2 Let the price of good x be given by Px, let the price of good y be given by Py, and let income be given by I. Derive the consumer’s generalized demand function for good X. Solve for the Marshallian Demand for X and Y using Px, and Py (there are no numbers—use the notation). c. Is good Y normal or inferior? Explain precisely.
4) A consumer’s utility function is u(x, y) = min{x, 3y} (a) Find the consumer’s optimal choice for x, y as functions of income I and prices px,py. (b) Sketch the demand curve for y as a function of other price px when py = 10, I = 100. Suggestion: a picture showing the budget set, optimal choice and indifference curve. (I need help with the sketching which is the second part)
