Q1. Sam consumes two goods x1 and x2. Her utility function can be written as U(x1,x2)=x 1raised to 2/3 and x 2 raised to 1/5 ⁄. Suppose the price of good x1 is P1, and the price of good x2 is P2. Sam’s income is m. [20 marks] a) [10 marks] Derive Sam’s Marshallian demand for each good. b) [5 marks] Derive her expenditure function using indirect utility function. c) [5 marks] Use part c) to calculate Hicksian demand function for each good

The utility function is u = x1½ + x2, and the budget constraint is m = p1x1 + p2x2. Derive the optimal demand curve for good 1, x1(p1, p2), and good 2, x2(m, p1, p2). Looking at the cross price effects (∂x1/∂p2 and ∂x2/∂p1) are goods x1 and x2 substitutes or complements? Looking at income effects (∂x1/∂m and ∂x2/∂m) are goods x1 and x2 inferior, normal or neither? Assume m=100, p1=0.5 and p2=1. Using the demand function you derived in...
