2. (30 pts) Carol likes milk (201) and cookies (2). She always takes one cup of cookies with two cups of milk. Let Pı be the price of milk (per cup), P2 be the price of cookies (per cup), and m be her weekly income. (a) Draw some of her indifference curves and find her ordinary demand functions for milk and cookies. (b) Derive her price offer curves and her income offer curve. (c) Suppose that Pı = P2 =...
Question Kayla's utility depends on her consumption of good 1(Q1) and good 2 (Q2), and it is described by the following utility function: U(Q), Q2 ) = 27 Q7'3 Q3 Deriving Demand functions 1. What are her uncompensated demand functions (Marshallian demand function) for Q1 and Q2? 2. What are her compensated demand functions (Hicksian demand function) for Q1 and Q2? Effects of a price increase (substitution, income, and total effects) Her income is currently $360. Consider that the price...

Problem 1 - Consumer Choice Consider the case of a consumer who decides how many cups of coffee (denote by c) and cups of tea (denote by t) to consume every month. Assume the income endowment for caffeine needs is $300; the price of a cup of tea is $2 and the price of a cup of coffee is $3. a) Write down a Cobb-Douglas utility function with exponents a=0.5 and 1-a=0.5. b) Write down the budget constraint for this...

Vasco likes spare ribs q1, and fried chicken, q2. His utility function is U=10q1^2 * q2. His weekly income is $90, which he spends on ribs and chicken only. a. If he pays $10 for a slab of ribs and $5 for a chicken, what is his optimal consumption bundle? Show his budget line, indifference curve, and optimal bundle, e1, in a diagram. b. Suppose the price of chicken doubles to $10. How does his optimal consumption of chicken and...
Anna spends all her income on wine (good 1) and cheese (good 2). Her utility function is u(x1; x2) = x1x2. Her income is m = $200. The prices for the two goods are p1 = $20 and p2 = $10 respectively. Find Annaís optimal consumption bundle. Show the complete calculations, and illustrate your answer graphically (draw the indi§erence curve and the budget constraint). How would your answer change to part (a) if Annaís utility function were given by v(x1;...
Assume that Sam has following utility function: U(x,y) = 2√x+y. Assume px = 1/5, py = 1 and her income I = 10. (e) Draw an optimal bundle which is the result of utility maximization under given budget set. (Hint: Assume interior solution). Define corresponding expenditure minimization problem (note the elements for expenditure minimization problem are (i) objective function, (ii) constraint, (iii) what to choose). (f)Describeaboutwhatthedualityproblemis. Definemarshalliandemandfuction andhicksiandemandfunction. (Hint: identifytheinputfactorsofthesefunctions.)

2 Perfect substitutes Consider an agent with perfectly substitutable utility over R The agent has total wealth w>0 1. Suppose the agent faces linear prices and that P1くPi for every i > 1, what is the agent's optimal consumption bundle? What fraction of her wealth does she spend on each good? Show that the tangency conditions for optimality are satisfed for the bundle you've found. 2. Suppose instead she faces the same linear price for every good. Describe the set...
