1. Jack and Peter lived in a country named Laktoria. The country produces two goods, apples (good x) and oranges (good y). They have unique preferences in buying these goods. With this, they have different utility functions in consuming both goods, to wit: Jack: U = 5 x1/3y¹/2 Peter: U = 7 x¹/2y1/3 a) In order for us to determine the amount of apples and oranges that Jack and Peter prefer, given their utility functions, we need to derive both of their Marshallian demand in buying both goods. With this, you need to present the objective, constraint and the Lagrange functions for Jack and Peter in consuming apples and oranges. Find the Marshallian demand for apples and oranges.
