The total utility (assumed measurable) of each good is independent of the rate of consumption of other goods. The prices of X and Y are, respectively, $20 and $30. If the consumer buys the fourth unit of X the Marginal Utility per Dollar Spent on X is 16 I If the consumer has $210 to spend on X and Y, the utility-maximizing bundle is The minimum budget necessary to move to a higher equilibrium consumption of X and Y is $ unit(s) of X and unit(s) of Y.

True or false with reasoning: 1) _______When we claim that utility can be ordinally measured, we assume that the consumer is able to measure the total and marginal utility received when one extra unit of a commodity is consumed. 2)_______If MRS between two goods is constant, then having more of one good without having more of the other does not increase utility. 3)_______Marginal Utility increases until total utility is at a maximum and then marginal utility decreases.

1. This question will let you examine/explore a more interesting utility func- tion than the simple example discussed in class as there will be both cross-price elas- ticity and an inferior good. Suppose you are told a consumer has the following utility function: U (9219₂) = 9z+√9z+ 9₂ You should assume income is Y, the price of good r is P2, and the price of good z is P₂. This question will ask about several concepts discussed in lecture. (a) What is the Marshallian demand for goods x and z? I.e. find (qq) for both interior solutions and corner solutions. Note: the outcome is "ugly" for the interior section and both corner should include constraints, i.e. limits using Y relative to f(P, P₂). Hint: if solving using MRS = MRT, can use this information again in part (d). (b) Suppose you are told P₂ = $8 and P₂ = $1. Create a graph showing the Income Consumption Curve (ICC) for Y = {$12.25, $35, $49, $70, $98). Be sure to clearly label the graph. Based on the ICC, which of the goods is…

Please help any info will help
