Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- 1. For each of the three utility functions below, find the substitution effect, the income effect, and the total effect that result when prices change from p = (2,1) to p' = (2,4). Assume the consumer has income I = 20. (a) Before doing any calculation, make an educated guess about the relative magnitude of the three substitution effects and the three income effects to be found below. (b) u(x1, x2) = x1 + x2. (c) u(x1, x2) = x1x2. (d) u(x1,x2) = min {x1,x2). (e) Rank the substitution effects and the income effects found above by their magnitude. To what extent do they conform to your guess?5) Consider indifference curves for the consumption of milk and chocolates (you may assume that both are 'goods'). The indifference curves are drawn with the number of chocolate bars on the horizontal axis and pints of milk on the vertical axis. Suppose that at every point, consumer A's indifference curve is flatter than consumer B's. What can you conclude about consumers A and B tastes and preferences?PROBLEM (1) Suppose a consumer has just enough money to afford the bundle of 3 apples and 2 oranges, and similarly she also has just enough money to afford the bundle of 2 apples and 4 oranges. (a) Denoting the number of apples with x and oranges with y, plot the two given bundles on a graph, and calculate the relative price of apples; px/ py. (b) If she buys only apples with her budget, how many can she buy? If she buys only oranges, how many can she buy? Write down the budget equation for the consumer. (Notice that knowing two points on the budget line, you can write down the budget equation, even though you weren't given the prices nor the income explicitly!) (c) Suppose MUx = 20 and MUY = 30 at some point on the budget line. Is she maximizing utility by choosing this bundle? If not, should she buy fewer apples (and more oranges), or more apples (and fewer oranges), to increase her utility? (d) Forget about (c); instead, you learn that her utility function is u(x,y) = Axy³. What is…

(e) None of the above.4.An individual consumes products X and Y and spends $30 per time period. The prices of the two goods are $3 per unit for X and $3 per unit for Y.
