Solve these consumer choice problems: a. Suppose a consumer has a utility function u(x, y) = xy + 7y facing prices p,=S1 and p,=$2 and income I = $10. Draw a diagram and find the consumer's optimal consumption of goods x and y. b. Suppose that you are in a situation where you can afford purchasing 3 units of good x and 4 units of good y. You discover that another affordable bundle of 5 units of good x and 2 units of good y causes you to reach the same level of utility. Assume that your utility function and budget line are both well behaved. Are you maximizing your utility by consuming your original bundle? Why or why not? Propose an alternative, affordable bundle that would yield a higher utility level than either of the original bundles.
5. The price of good x increases from 4 to 6. A consumer with an income of 120 buys 15 units of good x before the change and 10 units after. If the same consumer kept their utility constant and minimized expenditure, they would buy 8 units of x after the price change. What are the total effect, substitution effect, and income effect?

Çağla Ökten 1. Each day, Burcu, who is in third grade, eats lunch at school. She likes only Twinkies (t) and soda (s) and these provide her a utility of U(t, s) = √ts a. Find Burcu's demand for t and demand for s. b. If Twinkies cost $0.1 each and soda costs $0.25 per cup, how would Burcu spend the $1 that her mother give her? c. If the school tries to discourage Twinkie consumption by raising the price to $0.40, by how much will Burcu's mother have to increase her lunch allowance to provide her with the same level of utility she received in part a? 2. Ahmet's utility over good x and y is represented by the following utiity function: U(x, y) = x² + y² Let Px, Py and I denote price of good x, good y and Ahmet's income respectively. a. Graph Ahmet's indifference curves. Is MRS increasing or decrasing in x h Now suppose that Dy-$2 Dv-$4 and Abr car IS.
