HW1.1 #8. Peter also likes coffee (x) with sugar (y), but his utility function is U(x, y) = 5x + 4y. Peter has purchased 4 ounces of coffee and 5 grams of sugar.
Recall Peter of problem #8 of homework 1.1. His utility function is u(x, y) = 5x + 2y where x is the number of ounces of coffee and y is the quantity of sugar in grams. Let unit prices be given by Px = 6 cents, Py = 2 cents, and assume that Peter has $9 to spend on coffee and sugar. Find Peter’s best choice, in terms of quantities of coffee and sugar. Illustrate it graphically.

Peter has a utility function U(x, y) = min {2x, y}. The price of good x is $5, and the price of good y is $10. If Peter's income is $200, how many units of good x would he consume if he chose the bundle that maximizes his utility subject to his budget constraint?

A consumer buys two goods, good X and a composite good Y. The utility function is given as U(X, Y) = 2X1/2+Y. The demand function for good X is X = (Py/Px)2. (Edit: The price of X is Px, the price of Y is Py.) Suppose that initially Px=$0.5 and then it falls and becomes Px=$0.2 Calculate the substitution effect, income effect, and the price effect and show the answer graphically.
