3. When prices are (p1,P2) (1,2) a consumer demands (xi, 2) (1,2), and when prices are (p1,P2) (2,1) the consumer demands (x1,x2)-(2,1). Is this behavior consistent with the model of utility maximization?

A consumer is observed to purchase X1 = 20, X2 = 10 at prices P1 = 2, and P2 = 6. She is also observed to purchase X1 = 18, X2 = 4 at prices P1= 3, P2= 5. Is her behavior consistent with the axioms of the theory of revealed preference?

A consumer has income M, and faces prices (for goods 1 and 2) p1 and p2. For each of the following utility functions, graphically show the following: (i) the Slutsky substitution and income e⁄ects when p1 decreases. (ii) the Hicks substitution and income e⁄ects when p1 decreases. (iii) the Marshallian and Hicksian demand curves for good 1: (a) perfect complements: U(x1 , x2) = min {4x1, 5x2} (b) quasi-linear: U(x1 , x2) = x^2/3 1 + x2

A consumer has the following utility function: U(X1,X2)=X1*(X2^2) Find the consumer’s optimal basket if p2=2, p1=1, I=30 Find the demand function for X1 (for any prices and income) Check that the demand function in (b) is consistent with the solution in (a) – it gives the same exact solution when p2=2, p1=1, I=30

3. There are two goods, Xi and X2 with prices pı > 0 and P2 = 1. Assume that a consumer has income I> 0 that she will allocate for the bundle (X1, X2), and has preferences represented by the utility function u(X1, X2) = a ln x1 + x2, for some a > 0. (a.) Derive the marginal utilities and bang-for-bucks for each good. (b.) Find the optimal bundle assuming an interior solution, i.e. x > 0 and x...

Each firm produces both goods, i.e., good 1 and good 2. Each firm takes the market prices p 0 and p2 2 0 as firm produces T units of good 1 and x2 units of good 2, with (xi, x2) the total costs of C(x.x) = 2i+0.5«% given and chooses output to maximize profits.1 If a R2, it has 1200 (a) (1 point ) For given prices p1 and p2, find the revenue, R(x1, x2), of a single firm (b)...

6. Suppose prices are given by pı 2 and p2 -4. Which of the following consumption patterns are consistent with the assumption that the consumer chooses the consumption bundle that he prefers the most among those affordable if his preferences are non-satiated ("more-is-better") and strictly convex? (a) If m 10, he consumes (2,1). If m 14, he consumes (3,2) (b) If m = 12, he consumes (c) If m 12, he consumes (2,2) (d) If m 10, he consumes (1,2)....

4. Suppose U(x1, x2) = 2lnx1 + 3lnx2 and P1 = 4, P2 = 1, and m = 20. (4pts) Set up the Lagrangian for this problem (but do not solve it) 5. Suppose U(x1, x2) = min{5x1, x2}. (8pts) Write out the Marshallian demands for x1 and x2, as functions of p1, p2, and m. Now, solve for these when P1 = 3, P2 = 1, and m = 16. Is this an interior or corner solution? Is the...
