1. (20 points) Mac has utility over x; and x2 given by u(x1, x2) = min . If P. = $1. P. = $1. and I = $100. find the value of xı* (Hint: This is Leontief utility, the kind with right-angled indifference curves) 2. (10 points) If P, = $4, P2 = $2, and I = $20, and my utility is given by u(x1, x2) = 4x1 + 3x2, find x* (Note: I'm asking for optimal consumption of Good...

(10 points) Wendy's utility over consumption bundles (x1, x2) is given by u(x1,x2) = VX1 + 21X2. If the price of good 1 is $2/unit, the price of good 2 is $1/unit and income is $120, what is Wendy's optimal consumption of Good 2? (You can use the 5 step method to solve this problem). (10 points) When u(x1, x2) = min ), at prices and income P1, P2, and I, demand for good 1 is given by xi (P1,...

Suppose a consumer has a utility function U (x1,x2) = Inxi + x2. The consumer takes prices (p1 and p2) and income (I) as given 1) Find the demand functions for x1 and x2 assuming -> 1. What is special about Р2 these demand functions? Are both goods normal? Are these tastes homothetic? <1. You probably P2 2) Now find the demand functions for x1 and x2 assuming assumed the opposite above, so now will you find something different. Explain....
Question 2: Lorelai's choice behavior can be represented by the utility function u(x1, 2)0.9Inx)0.1x2 The prices of both x1 and x2 are $5 and she has an income of $40. 1. What preference does this utility function represent? (Hint: the utility is function is not linear, 2. Drawinwg indifference curves: you can copy down the graph on your paper using econgraphs. Set but at least linear in good x2) the preferences and parameters accordingly as given in the question. Click...
