Ans) False
Points on the higher indifference curve yield higher utility so point A gives higher utility.

Consider a consumer who lives for two periods. The consumer gets utility from consumption in each period. The consumer also gets an endowment of time in each period, L hours, which the consumer can use to work or consume as leisure . The consumer gets NO utility from leisure, however. There is no borrowing or lending. (a)(10%) Let w1 and w2 be the wage rates per hour in periods 1 and periods 2 respect- ively. In period 1, the consumer...

2. (25%) Consider a consumer with preferences represented by the utility function: u(x1, x2) = min {axı, bx2} If the income of the consumer is w > 0 and the prices are p1 > 0 and P2 > 0. (a) Derive the Marshallian demands. Be sure to show all your work. (b) Derive the indirect utility function. (c) Does the utility function: û(x1, x2) = axı + bx2 represent the same preferences?
