. Consider the following utility function over goods 1 and 2, u (x1,x2)=√√√In A + alnæı + (1 − a) Inx2 where A 0 and a € (0, 1). (a) [15 points] Derive the Marshallian demand functions and the indirect utility function. (b) [15 points] Show two different ways to derive the Hicksian demand function for good 2. (c) [10 points] Using the functions you have derived in the above, show that the Hicksian demand function for goods 2 is homogeneous of degree zero in prices.
