3. Assume that a typical consumer's utility function is U(qI.4p) qi+q. and this consumer's income is 1-100. The prices for these two goods are pi and p2, and pi p2- b. Assume that there are m-20 identical consumers and p2-80. The supply of good 1 What are the price elasticity of demand and price elasticity of supply? (4 points) a. Derive the demands for these two goods. (4 points) is Qis=10+P1. Find the equilibrium of the good 1 market? (6...
) A consumer's utility function is given by: U(x,y) = 10xy Currently, the prices of goods x and y are $3 and $5, respectively, and the consumer's income is $150 . a. Find the MRS for this consumer for any given bundle (x,y) . b. Find the optimal consumption bundle for this consumer. c. Suppose the price of good x doubles. How much income is required so that the Econ 201 Beomsoo Kim Spring 2018 consumer is able to purchase...
h. U(1, 2 For the utility function above, find the consumer's optimal consumption bundle when prices of goods 1 and 2 are pl and p2, and the consumer has an income m. 1. 2. For the utility function above, find the consumer's optimal consumption bundle when prices of goods 1 and 2 are pl and p2, and the consumer has an endowment (el, e2) of the two goods. For each of your answers in question 2, write down the consumer...
4) A consumer's utility function is (a) Find the consumer's optimal choice for x, y as functions of income I and prices pa,Pv. 10 (b) Sketch the demand curve for y as a function of other price pz when py I-100
Consumer's surplus: A consumer has the utility function U(x,y) =e^((ln(X)+Y)^1/3) where X is the good in concern and Y is the money that can be spent on all other goods. (So the price of Y is normalized to be 1). The income of this consumer is 100. (a) (10pts) Derive the demand function of x for this consumer. Make sure that at every price of x, the consumer always has enough income to buy the amount of x as indicated...
3. A consumer's preferences over a and y are given by the utility function u(x,y) - 2vr 2/y. The individual's income is I $100. The price of a unit of good c is $2, while the price of a unit of good y is S1. a) Graphically describe: i. the consumer's preferences for r and y ii. the budget constraint (b) Find the optimal x that the consumer would choose. You may assume (c) What is the consumer's MRS at...
2) A consumer's utility function is a(x,y) = (a) Find the consumer's optimal choice for x as a function of income I and prices px,Py' (b) Sketch the demand curve for x as a function of its own price Pz when py = 10, 1 = 100. (It may be easiest to plot a few points.)
Consumer's Surplus A consumer has the utility function U(, y)v) where is the good in concern ail y is the money that can be spent on all other goods (so the price of y is normalized to be 1). The income of - this consumer is 100. Bi Pr X10 (In(x)y) (10%) Derive the demand function of z for this consumer. (10%) Calculate the price elasticity of the demand function in (b) Is it true that the absolute value of...
d. U (1, ) (1a)(b-a For the utility function above, find the consumer's optimal consumption bundle when prices of goods 1 and 2 are pl and p2, and the consumer has an income m 1. 2. For the utility function above, find the consumer's optimal consumption bundle when prices of goods 1 and 2 are pl and p2, and the consumer has an endowment (el, e2) of the two goods For each of your answers in question 2, write down...
3) A consumer's utility function is u(x,y)22 (a) Find the consumer's optimal choice for x, y as functions of income I and (b) Sketch the demand curves for x, y as functions of income I when prices prices pa,Py. (Be careful!) are p 16,Py 2. (Be careful!)
