Suppose that we can represent Joyce's preferences for cans of pop (the x-good) and pizza slices (y-good) with the utility function min[4x,5y]. a) Find her Marshallian Demand Functions. b) Find her Hicksian Demand Functions
Frank's utility function for WWE wrestling event tickets (x,) and NASCAR race tickets (2) is of the following Cobb - Douglas form: U(x,, ) = x 1 2 0.25 0.75 x 2 his income is Y, the price of WWE tickets is p₁, and the price of NASCAR tickets is p₂. a. Mathematically derive his 1 demand functions for x, and x2. No graphs! You are not required to use Lagrangian Function, you can just use the demand formulas for the Cobb - Douglas utility function (Chapter 5, fourth slide). b. Using your answers from part (a), find the demand functions for x and x2, and mathematically prove that they have the proper negative slope.
Suppose a consumer purchases food X and clothing Y. The utility function of the consumeris given by: U(X,Y ) = XY + 5Y and the budget /income/ of the consumer is 200 ETB. Andalso the price of food is X P and the price of clothing is Y P . Then drive the equation ofconsumer’s demand function for food and clothing.
Let a consumer's utility function be U (x, y) = x'/²y/2. The consumer's income is I = 160 and prices for the two goods are, respectively, p, = 1 and py = 4. (a) Write down the utility maximization problem and compute the optimal consumption basket. (b) Suppose now the price of good y is equal to p, = 16 (while the price of good r stays constant). Compute the new optimal consumption basket.

Suppose that there are two goods, gl and g2, that Jane consumes. Demand functions for these two goods are given as follows: gl * = gl(pg1), pg2 ,Inc) g2 * = g2(pg1), pg2 ,Inc) where pg1, pg2 ,Inc refer prices of the goods and income, respectively. Explain and demonstrate (on the graph) the substitution and income effect for both an increase and decrease in price good g1. Use the notations given in the question.

Suppose the economy is in long-run equilibrium with GDP approaching $23T and the unemployment rate is approaching 4%. Now, let's say that the Fed has decided to decrease the money supply by 6%! The Fed proposes this move by raising the Prime Rate from the current 3.25 to 4.00 and to sell a new trunk or class of 30-year Treasury Bonds. This was not expected! What might be the short and long run effects on the economy as a whole if this were to take place? What happens to the inflation rate? What happens with unemployment? Like I said, this was actually expected that the Fed might take some sort of constriction action to stave off reduce inflation and to strengthen the money supply. However, President Biden, Congress and the Treasury Department had hoped for no contraction of the money supply until 2023.
