Ricky has utility function u=x?y. This implies that MUx=2xy. MUy=x². His income is 100. The price of y is 10. (a) Find his demand for x at price 20. (b) Find his demand for x at price 30. (c) Write down his demand function for x: that is, write down his demand for x as a function of the price of x.

Do it on paper sheet.
Part 1 Using this information, Create a line plot of the solutions with the price of good Y on the y-axis and the quantity of good Y on the x-axis on a sheet of paper (connect the dots). Calculate the slope of this curve. Be sure to put a negative sign in your answer if you need to. Part 2 Is this line you found the demand curve?

Question 3: Robert's utility is given by U(x,x)=ln x + ln y, and therefore MUX-1/x and MUX-1/y. Let the prices and income be Px. Py and m. a. Find Robert's demand for x and y b. How is Robert's demand for x affected by an increase in Py? Explain

PROBLEM 3 – Slutsky Equation, Income Effect, Substitution Effect, and Total Effect There are two goods which quantities are to be denoted by x and y, while prices are denoted by px and py, respectively. There is a consumer whose income is to be denoted by I and utility by u. His expenditure function is known to be: *see image* a. Find the consumer’s uncompensated demand function for good x and good y.
The marginal rate of substitution of Good X for Good Y is MRSXY(x,y)= 9y/x. The price of Good X is PX, the price of Y is PY, and Jane’s income is I. Notice that diminishing MRS is satisfied and preference is smooth. What is the function of the consumer’s demand curve of Good X if income I=100 and price of Good Y is PY=0.2?

Xander has a utility function u(x,y) = xy and an income of M. Assume that the price of x is $4 and the price y is $2. If Xander's income rises from M = 104 to M = 152, what the resulting increase in demand for good x? increases by 6 units increases by 9 units increases by 11 units increases by 14.5 units
Bob has utility function U(x,y)=x2+y over goods x and y a) Do we have a name for this type of utility function? Are Bob's preferences well-behaved? b) Let Bob have budget I=$60, and let prices be Px=$30, Py=$10. Find Bob's optimal basket of goods x and y. Is this an interior or corner solution? c) What will happen if the price of good y doubles? [Think about: can we use this utility function to describe preferences over pet snakes and pet mice?]
None
