Consider the consumer Mr. Magnificent, who has the utility function u(x,y) = min{ x, 2y}. This consumer has an income of $234 and the price of both x and y is $6 a unit. Unfortunately for Mr. Magnificent, the federal government needs to raise tax revenue of $30. a. Find the consumer’s optimal basket and utility in the absence of taxes. b. If the government uses the lump‐sum approach for taxation, what is the resulting utility earned by Mr. Magnificent? c. Now,...

Suppose a person has a utility function U(x1,x2)= xa1+xa2, which
she maximizes subject to her budget constraint, px1 + qx2 = m,
where p, q, m are all positive. Use the Lagrangian method to solve
the maximization problem, and find the demand functions for the
consumer. Show that the demand functions are homogeneous of degree
zero in prices (p, q) and income (m)

An individual only purchases two goods X and Y . The person has an income of $100. The price of X is $2 per unit and the price of Y is $4 per unit. The utility function of this individual is U = 3X +5Y . This means the person has a constant marginal utility of 3 and 5 for goods X and Y , respectively. What bundle of goods X and Y should the person buy to maximize utility....
