Olivia has well-behaved preferences over consumption in two periods, C₁ and c₂. She is a borrower, and regards both c₁ and c₂ as normal goods. If there is a fall in the interest rate then: O Both the substitution and income effects increase her demand for c₁. The substitution effect increases her demand for c₁ while the income effect decreases it. The substitution effect decreases her demand for c₁1 while the income effect increases it. Both the substitution and income effects decrease her demand for c₁.

3. Utility maximization under constraint, substitution and income effect, CV and EV Josh gets utility (satisfaction) from two goods, A and B, according to the utility function U(A, B) = 5A/4B³/4. While Josh would like to consume as much as possible he is limited by his income. a. Maximize Josh's utility subject to the budget constraint using the Lagrangean method. b. Suppose Pa increase. Show graphically the income, substitution effect and total effect and explain. c. Suppose PA increase. Show the graph for CV and EV and explain.
In two commodities world, utility function for a consumer and her income are given respectively. 11 U = x2y2 I= 480 If the price of these goods are Px= 15 and P, = 60 what would be her demand for these two goods * =? and y =? If the price of first good P has increased from 15 to 60. To keep her utility fixed how much does she need to spend for these two goods at least. In other words what should be her minimum income.
Maria has a fixed weekly budget which she has been spending on goods A, B, and C. Her utility function exhibits a diminishing marginal rate of substitution. She uses the equi-marginal principle to decide how much to purchase of each product. Suppose that for Maria's current consumption bundle it holds that MUA MUB MUC PA Рв PC You may assume that she has spent her entire budget. If Maria wishes to maximise utility, next week, she should A) buy product A only. B) buy products B and C only. C) buy less of A and more of B and C. D) buy more of A and less of B and C.
Columns 1 through 4 in the following table show the marginal utility, measured in utils, that Ricardo would get by purchasing various amounts of products A, B, C, and D. Column 5 shows the marginal utility Ricardo gets from saving. Assume that the prices of A, B, C, and D are, respectively, $18, $6, $4, and $24 and that Ricardo has an income of $106. a. What quantities of A, B, C, and D will Ricardo purchase in maximizing his utility? b. How many dollars will Ricardo choose to save? c. Check your answers by substituting them into the algebraic statement of the utility-maximizing rule.
2. If war breaks out in the Middle East and sugar is rationed so that Rosie is limited to purchasing only 8 units of sugar, what bundles will she consume with an income of $ 20? Did the restriction alter her consumption? Explain. What bundles will she consume with an income of $ 40? Did the restriction alter her consumption? Explain. I need help on this question

Pls help with thsi question I am stuck Given the image attatched: 1.Given the above Marginal Utilities and prices to form the optimality condition for utilitymaximization. According to this optimality condition, what must be the ratio of Films toBooks in an optimal consumption bundle? 2. Given your answer to Q9, what must be the household’s optimal consumption of F & Bgiven their income (m)? 3. Suppose that the price of Films changed from $2 to $4. What would need to happen tothe MRS according to the optimality condition in Q9 if the household wanted to keepmaximizing its utility?
Suppose that, from an initial individual consumer equilibrium position in the indifference curve-budget line diagram, the prices of both goods rise by 10 percent. What happens to the position and slope of the budget line? Why does the consumer’s level of satisfaction from a given money income fall? Illustrate and explain. Would it be acceptable for an economist to say that the level of satisfaction of the consumer fell by exactly 10 percent? Why or why not?
Anya is currently consuming $1000 worth of consumption goods C and spending 30 hours in leisure I per week, where her marginal rate of substitution is 20. Assume that the price of a consumption good C is $1. This implies that she is willing to: O a. sacrifice 20 hours of leisure to get an extra $1 worth of consumption. O b. sacrifice $20 worth of consumption to enjoy the next hour of leisure. O c. her current utility will be higher by $20 if she gets one more unit of leisure. O d. she values the next unit of consumption at $20.
I NEED HELP WITH PART B! (a) A consumer has utility u(x,y,z) = ln(x) + 2ln(y) + 3ln(z) over the three goods, x,y and z and pz=1. Optimally she consumes 30 units of z. What is her income? How much money does she spend on x? (HINT: MUx = 1/x, MUy= 2/y, MUz = 3/z and remeber the "equivalent bang for the buck" condition). (b) Forget about (a). Suppose you have t= 29 hours in total to spend on 3 projects X,Y and Z to make some money. If you spend x hours on project X, you make 2 sqrt(x) dollars; If you spend y hours on project Y, you make 3 sqrt(y) dollars; If you spend z hours on project Z, you make 4sqrt(z) dollars; Writing down your "utility function" u(x,y,z) and the constraint, solve the utility maximization problem; what is the optimal amount of time to spend on x? on y? on z?
I need asnwers of f,g Assume there is consumer, his utility function is u(x,y) =8 * x0.5+y , and his budget constraint is px*x +y = m, which implies py = 1. a.Please derive the Marshallian demand function of x. b.Please derive the indirect utility function. c. Please derive the expenditure function If originally m = 40, px=2. d. What is his original highest utility level? Now px has decreased to 1, m and py do not change. e. What is his new maximum utility level? f. Based on (c) (d) and (e), what is his compensating variation? g.Based on (c) (d) and (e), what is his equivalent variation?
A consumer is making purchases of products Alpha and Beta such that the marginal utility of product Alpha is 63 and the marginal utility of product Beta is 40. The price of product Alpha is $9, and the price of product Beta is $5. The utility-maximizing rule suggests that, to stay within a given budget constraint, this consumer should Multiple Choice O O O increase consumption of product Beta and increase consumption of product Alpha. make no change in the consumption of Alpha or Beta. increase consumption of product Beta and decrease consumption of product Alpha. increase consumption of product Alpha and decrease consumption of product Beta.
