1. Chuck has the following quasi-linear utility function: a) Derive Chuck's demand curve for x as a function of P,and P b) Derive Chuck's demand for for y c) Is y a normal good?
Dafna’s utility function for weekly consumption of apples (X) and bananas (Y) is given by U = 3XY. a. Derive equations for Dafna’s demand functions for X and Y. b. Draw a diagram of Dafna’s demand curve for apples (X) when PY = 2.5 and M = 100. c. Dafna always spends the same fraction of her budget on apples, no matter what the prices. What fraction is that? Explain. (Hint: Use the demand functions from part a.)

answer e and f only please
Exercise 3. Slutsky (Quasilinear) The utility function is u = x + xy, and the budget constraint is m=P,X, + P2XZ. a) Derive the optimal demand curve for good 1, x,(PP2), and good 2, x2(m, PP.). b) Looking at the cross price effects (@x_/ôp, and Ox_/ôp.) are goods x, and X, substitutes or complements? Looking at income effects (@x,lôm and Ox_lām) are goods x, and X, inferior, normal or neither? c) Assume m=100, =0.5...
Suppose a consumer's preferences can be represented by the utility function: U(X,Y)=X3/5Y1/4 a. Derive the function for the marginal rate of substitution holding utility constant: U X Y b. Derive the demand curves for the two goods, X and Y. c. Confirm that both demand curves slope downward. d. Calculate the price elasticity for each of the goods. e. Calculate the income elasticity for each of the goods.
3. Suppose an individual has perfect-complements preferences that can be represented by the utility function U(x,y)= min[3x,2y]. Furthermore, suppose that she faces a standard linear budget constraint, with income denoted by m and prices denoted by px and p,, respectively. a) Derive the demand functions for x and y. b) How does demand for the two goods depend on the prices, p, and p, ? Explain.
1) Given the following demand function Q=8.5-p+0.1y a) Derive a formular for the price elasticity of demand and income elasticity of demand. b) find the elasticity if p=6 and y=1000 c) what will happen to price elasticity of demand if income varies. d) what will happen to income elasticity of demand if income varies. e) derive the total revenue function. show that the relationship between price and revenue depends on elasticity (Assume y = 0).
Consider a customer (i) with a utility function u(x, y) = 200x − 25x2 + y where the price of good x is $p, and the price of the composite good y is one dollar ($1). Also, assume that each consumer has an income I. (MUx=200-50x , and MUy=1) Derive the consumer's demand function for good x. Now, consider an economy with 100 exact same type of consumers. Calculate an aggregate demand for only good x. Now, consider a firm...
