David’s utility function for good X and Y is given by ( x,y )= x²y³ . Where Px, Py and I are the price of good X, price of good Y and consumer income respectively. a. Write the budget Constraint of the consumer. b. Drive the demand functions for good X and Y c. What combination of X and Y maximizes the consumer’s at I=100, Px= 4, Py=5

You consume music (M) and concert tickets (C). Your utility function is U(M, C) = M1/4C3/4. The marginal utility for concert tickets, MUC is MUC =3/4C-1/2M1/4 and the marginal utility for music, MUM is MUm = 1/4C3/4M-3/4   (a) Calculate MRSMC using only the given marginal utilities. (b) Solve for the utility of bundle A where M = 16 and C = 16. Solve for your utility at bundle B where M = 128 and C = 8. Are the utilities the same? (c) Calculate MRSMC at bundle A and at bundle B. Are they the same? (d) Are your indifference curves convex? Draw the ICs. Make sure to label the quantities of the consumption bundles, the axis, and the MRS at those bundles.

The price of goods A and B are 20 and 10 respectively. given that the marginal utility of commodity A is 10. what is the marginal utility of B if the consumer is at equilibrium.

2. Ping receives a weekly allowance to purchase soda (x) and juice (y) at school. His preferences over these two goods can be represented by the utility function U(x,y) =0.5x+ 5lny where x represents the number of cans of soda and y represents the number of juice boxes. a) Given his preferences find his Marshallian demand functions for soda (x) and juice (y). b) Suppose that the price of a can of soda is $1.5 and that Ping has $30 to spend on soda and juice. Write Ping's demand curve for juice (y). Illustrate his demand curve. c) Suppose that the price of a box of juice is $1 (the price of soda and income remain $1.5 and $30, resp.). Use your demand functions to find his best bundle. In an indifference curve diagram illustrate his best bundle at these prices. For the remainder of the question assume that Ping's allowance (income) rises to $36 per week and the prices of the two goods are unchanged at Px= $1.5 and Py= $1. d) Use your demand functions to find his new best bundle. e)…
