A) Calculate the MUx and MUy and fill the table in the 4th and 5th rows. B) If the two products (X&Y) are free goods how many of X and Y should the cons
consumer
take to maximize utility?
C) What is the maximum utility of X and Y if they are free?.

Price of an apple is $ 1 and price of an orange is $2. The marginal utilities derived from each product are as follows: USE BLANK COLUMNS AS NEEDED. 2 # units MU of apple MU of orange 1 60 150 2 50 140 3 40 120 4 30 100 5 20 80 6 10 70 7 5 50 8 0 20 a) The combination that maximizes total utility is: number of apples number of oranges b) If oranges price decreased to $1each and apples still cost $1 each. Given $10 of budget. The combination that maximizes total utility is: number of apples c) Draw the demand curve for oranges number of orangesarrow_forward
- 1.2 Ann and Bob each own 10 bottles of beer and, altogether, they own 20 bags of peanuts. There are no other people and no other goods in the economy, and no production of either good is possible. Using a to denote bottles of beer and y to denote bags of peanuts, Ann's and Bob's preferences are described by the following utility functions: UA (XA, YA) = TAYA and UB (XB, YB) = 2xB+ YB. In each of the following cases, determine the market equilibrium price ratio and allocation and depict the equilibrium in an Edgeworth box diagram. (a) Bob owns 20 bags of peanuts and Ann owns no peanuts. (b) Bob owns 15 bags of peanuts and Ann owns 5 bags. (c) Ann owns 20 bags of peanuts and Bob owns no peanuts.arrow_forward5) A consumer of two goods, good 1 and good 2, has a utility function u (X1, X2) = x1 0,6. X2 0,4, where x denotes units of good 1 and X2 units of good 2. The price of good 1 is 5 euros And the price of good 2 is 3 euros per unit and the consumer’s income is 150 euros. Suppose that only the price of good 1 changes and that the new price is p, ‘ = 2. Then the demand function of good 1 that is derived from the utility function is Choose one: A) X1= 0.6m/p1 B) X1= 6m/p1 C) X1= 4m/p1 D) X1= 0.4m/p1 E) Not definedarrow_forwardplease only do: if you can teach explain steps of how to know of each cases? of the xarrow_forward
