Marge has the utility function U(F,H)=20F2H where F is the quantity of footwear and H is the quantity of hats she consumes. Suppose the price of footwear is $20 and the price of hats is $5, while Marge has an income of $200/week. Calculate Marge's MRS as a function of the quantities F and H. (2 points) BONUS: Write down the Lagrangian function for Marge's utility maximization problem. (2 points) Solve for Marge's optimal consumption bundle of footwear and...

Homework 3 Chapter 5: Demand 1. What happens to the amount of x and y consumed when income falls if x and y are normal goods? Draw a budget constraint (before the income decrease) and a convex utility curve that corresponds to the optimal consumption bundle. Draw a new budget constraint (after income falls) and a new convex utility curve that corresponds to the optimal consumption bundle. Has the amount of x and y consumed increased or decreased due to...

If pA = $10, PB = $5,Y = $75, where p is the price of a good, A and B are goods, and Y is income. Given that the utility function is U = 25A2B, determine the optimal bundle of x and yfor this consumer. Be sure to show your work and box your answers. a) Solve for the marginal utility of A and the marginal utility of B b) Solve for the relationship (trade-off) between A and B c)...

1. (24 total points) Suppose a consumer’s utility function is given by U(X,Y) = X1/2*Y1/2. Also, the consumer has $72 to spend, and the price of Good X, PX = $4. Let Good Y be a composite good whose price is PY = $1. So on the Y-axis, we are graphing the amount of money that the consumer has available to spend on all other goods for any given value of X. a) (2 points) How much X and Y...

Cat only buys tomatoes (x) and cucumbers (y) and her preferences can be identified with U(x,x)=6x2y. a. What is Cat's marginal utility for tomatoes, and what is her marginal utility for cucumbers? How does Cat's utility change when she consumes more tomatoes? How does her utility change when she consumes more cucumbers? b. Find Cat’s marginal rate of substitution (tomatoes are on the x axis and cucumbers on the y axis). What is the slope of Cat's indifference curve that...
