Suppose that X is an inferior good. A. Show using well labeled diagrams how you would derive the Marshallian Demand curve and compensated demand curve holding utility constant for a consumer maximizing her welfare subject to a budget constraint. B. Derive the consumer's compensated demand curve and draw the demand curve carefully for X, Under the two following rules to measure the amount of compensation required to estimate the substitution and income effects. (1) holding real income constant. (2) holding production possibilities constant (assume linear). C. Under what real model circumstance would you employ these scenario for measuring the compensated demand function for a good?

Consumption theory makes extensive use of indifference curves and budget lines to explain consumer decisions. Assume a 2-good case (X and Y) in which a consumer has traditional smooth convex indifference curves. (a) Explain how the consumer's budget set and budget line are obtained if their money budget (M) is £100 and the prices for goods X and Y (PX, PY) are both £5 per unit. Your explanation should also include reference to the market rate of substitution. Provide formulae and graphs where appropriate. (b) Explain how the budget line would change in the case of (i) an increase in the price of good X, and (ii) an increase the money budget. Provide formulae and graphs where appropriate. (c) Given the prices and budget stated in part (a), you are told that the consumer has chosen to spend their budget on 10 units of X and 10 units of Y. Explain how this optimum consumption point is identified using economic analysis. Your explanation should also include reference to the marginal rate…
Utility maximization under constraint, substitution and income effect, CV and EV Josh gets utility (satisfaction) from two goods, A and B, according to the utility function U(A, B) = 4[A-4 + B-4-4 + 40. While Josh would like to consume as much as possible he is limited by his income. a. Maximize Josh's utility subject to the budget constraint using the Lagrangean method b. Suppose PA increases. Show graphically the income, substitution effect and total effect and explain c. Suppose PA increases. Show the graphs for CV and EV and explain. One graph for CV and one graph for EV
Explain how Consumer Choice Theory helps explain decisions concerning the consumption of two goods. Further, discuss how Indifference Curves apply to this theory and the role played by the Budget Constraint. Note: apply the goods to inputs used in your fictitious business idea.
4. Graphically decompose the impact of a price increase into the substitution effect and the income effect using both the Hicksian and the Slutsky methods. Assume the affected good is a normal good.
2. Consider a consumer with Cobb-Douglas utility function U(2,) = a +5
How does the utility-maximization model help highlight the income and substitution effects of a price change. Provide an example please.
A consumer's demand function for some good x is x=0,01m-2p, where m is income and P, is a good's price. Initially p,-20, 8000. Now assume that the price rises to p= 30 Calculate the income and substitution effects. Hint: you can use Slutsky approach, not Hicks.
Discuss how the utility-maximization model helps highlight the income and substitution effects of a price change.
Derive the relationship between the quantity of X demanded and the price of X if the consumer’s indifference map vis-à-vis X and Y has curves concave to the origin. Let X be games of golf per annum and Y all other goods. Draw the indifference map and budget constraint of: (a) an amateur who pays to play golf; (b) a professional who is paid to play golf. May we conclude that golfers turn professional because they dislike the game?
If a consumer has chosen optimally, their Marginal Rate of Substitution is equal to the price ratio. Why is this? Interpret this in terms of the “price of utility” or “marginal utility per dollar” for each good.
When the price of one'good Increases and the price of the other goot and income are held constant, the budget line Select one: rotates so that the intercept is farther from the origin on the axis representing the good that has experienced an increase in price shifts parallel to the original budget line so that the new budget line is closer to the origin b. rotates so that the intercept is closer to the origin on the axis representing the good that has experienced an increase in price C. d shifts parallel to the original budget line so that the new budget line is farther from the origin CLEAR MY CHOICE
Question 1 1.1 Explain the principle of a diminishing marginal rate of substitution within the context of consumer preferences and explain the relationship between this principle and the axiom of strictly convex preferences. 1.2 Explain the difference between the ordinal and cardinal approach to utility. Also explain why the ordinal approach will always allow for multiple real-valued utility functions rep- resenting the same underlying (strictly monotonic) preference relations (in other words, explain why using the ordinal approach leads to non-unique utility functions).
