Exercise 1 A consumer's utility function is u(x, y) = x²y³ and the budget constraint is prx +Pyy ≤ w, where the parameters pr, Py and we are all strictly positive. (a) Solve the consumer's utility maximization problem. (b) Use the envelope theorem to estimate the change in the indirect utility function (i.e., the problem's value function) when the price py is changed to py + e, with e > 0.
Beta's Price Policy High Low A $20 B $30 High Alpha's $20 $10 Price Policy C $10 D $15 Low $30 $15 Help Save & Exit Submit Refer to the diagram, where the numerical data show profits in millions of dollars. Beta's profits are shown in the northeast corner and Alpha's profits in the southwest corner of each cell. If Alpha and Beta agree to a high-price policy through collusion, the temptation to cheat on that agreement is demonstrated by the fact that Multiple Choice Beta can increase its profit by lowering its price. Beta can increase its profit by increasing its price still further.
Suppose Jay has been experiencing back pain and that there are two options for back pain: Treatment Regimen Total Cost Pain Reduction Do nothing $0 0 units Cortisone injections $600 30 units Calculate the ICER between cortisone injections and doing nothing. Jay says he is willing to pay $10 for a per unit of pain reduction. Should he choose cortisone injections? Another treatment is discovered. It costs $700 and reduces pain by 25 units. Should he choose the new treatment?

Philip sells homegrown heirloom tomatoes at a local farmer's market. Suppose for the past several weeks, Philip has been selling his tomatoes for $2.25 per pound and he has been selling 90 pounds of tomatoes each week. Suppose this week he drops the price of the tomatoes to $1.75 per pound and as a result of the price drop, he is stilling 110 pounds of tomatoes. (a) Using the midpoint rule, what is the percentage change in the quantity of tomatoes sold from the drop in price? % (Enter your answer as a percentage with no decimals rounded to the nearest whole percent (i.e. 33% or -10%)) 4 (b) Using he midpoint rule, what is the percentage change in the price of Philip's tomatoes? % (Enter your answer as a percentage with no decimals rounded to the nearest whole percent (i.e. 33% or -10%)) (c) Using the midpoint rule, what is the price elasticity of demand for Philips, tomatoes?
