Given the following indifference curves, please describe their behavior.
a) Is the marginal utility of good y positive?
b) is good x unwanted?
Homework Answers
According to the diagram, the Utility increases in the direction of arrow, it means that as the quantity of good Y increases and quantity of good X decreases,the utility or satisfaction of consumer increases.
So,
a) Yes the marginal utility of good y positive.
b) Yes, Here good X is bad for the consumer.

.Use separate graphs to sketch two indifference curves for people with each of the following utility functions: U(x, y) = x + 2y. U(x, y) = min{x,2y}. What type of preferences are represented by a utility function of the form U(x, y) = square root of x+y? What about the utility function V(x,y) = 13x+13y? Consider the utility function u(x,y) = ?^2 ?^3. What kind of preferences does it represent? Is the function v(x,y) = ?^4 ?^5 a monotonic transformation...

Draw indifference curves to represent the following types of consumer preferences (put good-x on the x-axis and good-y on the y-axis). Make sure to include arrows to indicate direction of preference. (Hint: Start with a bun- dle (say 10 units of each), and think about other bundles that give the consumer the same utility.) a) A situation where the tangency condition is always satised. b) A situation with a basket that has positive amounts of both goods that satises the...
