Sally the Sleek’s preferences can be described by the utility function U(x, y) = x^2y^3/1000. Prices are px = 4 and py = 3; she has an income of $80 to spend. (a) If Sally initially consumed 5 units of x and 20 units of y, how much additional utility does she get from spending one (small fraction of a) dollar more on good x? How much additional utility does she get from spending one (small fraction of a) dollar...

05 Question (5 points) See page 100 One of the most common functional forms used in economics is Cobb-Douglas. A Cobb-Douglas utility function takes the formu(I, y) = zºy , where 0 <a < 1. Note that we have imposed the condition that the exponents sum to 1. A monotonic transformation of the function could change that characteristic and still represent the same preferences. However, you will see below that having the exponents sum to 1 leads to a...

Question 1: Louis the retired Canadian lives on a fixed budget and consumes only two goods: toques (T) and maple syrup (M). Suppose Louis monthly budget is 100 and the price of the two goods are (PT,PM) (4,2). (a) Make a properly labeled diagram illustrating Louis'budget constraint with T on the hori- zontal axis and M on the vertical axis. Indicate the area corresponding to the set of bundles (M, T) that Louis can afford. (b) What is the maximum...

6. Problems 3.6 Many advertising slogans seem to be asserting something about people's preferences. How would you capture the following slogans with a mathematical utility function? Let m represent quantity of margarine and b represent quantity of butter. Let x represent the quantity of some other good. An advertising slogan that promises margarine is "just as good as butter" is equivalent to stating that Let c represent quantity of Coke....

Assume the representative consumer lives in two periods and his preferences can be described by the utility function U(c; c') = c1/3 + B(c')1/3; where c is the current consumption, c' is next period consumption, and B = 0.95. Let's assume that the consumer can borrow or lend at the interest rate r = 10%. The consumer receives an income y = 100 in the current period and y' = 110 in the next period. The government wants to spend...

2. Consider the following four consumers (C1,C2,C3,C4) with the following utility functions: Consumer Utility Function C1 u(x,y) = 2x+2y C2 u(x,y) = x^3/4y^1/4 C3 u(x,y) = min(x,y) C4 u(x,y) = min(4x,3y) On the appropriate graph, draw each consumer’s indifference curves through the following points: (2,2), (4,4), (6,6) and (8,8), AND label the utility level of each curve. Hint: Each grid should have 4 curves on it representing the same preferences but with different utility levels. 3. In the following parts,...
