The following five individuals have different utility functions over food (good x) and clothing (good y): 1) u₁(x, y) = 3x²y 2) u₂(x, y) = 2√x + y 3) Uz(x, y) = x0.6y0.4 4) u₁(x, y) = x² + y² 1 5) us(x, y) = x + 3y For each of these people: a) Compute their marginal utilities of good x, MUx = Ju(x,y) MU, = ду du(x,y) ax b) Check whether the property of "more is better" is satisfied for both goods? Explain. [Hint: Check whether marginal utilities are positive assuming positive amounts of good x and good y] ƏMUX əx and marginal utility of good y, c) Does the marginal utility of good x diminish, remain constant, or increase as each of the individuals buys more x? Explain. [Hint: There are 2 ways to do it: 1) visually check what happens to the expression of MUx when x increases (does it decrease, keep constant or decrease?); or 2) take the partial derivative of this marginal utility with respect to x, that is ƏMUx .aMUX ƏMUX If 0, the marginal utility of x is increasing in x] d) Does the…

In a perfectly competitive market, there are firms, all selling products. Select one: O a several large; differentiated O b. several large; nearly identical O c. many small; differentiated O d. many small; nearly identical
A9 The characteristics of a "perfectly competitive" market require that there is 1) a large number of firms, 2) producing products that are identical across firms, 3) in an industry where there are no barriers to entry. It's unlikely that any industry accurately reflects these extreme assumptions, but what industries can you think of that do display these characteristics at least to some extent? Try to identify the limits of your example in reflecting "perfect" competition.
