Suppose that a consumer’s utility function is U=xy with MUx=y and MUy=x. Suppose the consumer‘s income is $480. For this question you may need to use the following approximations: sqrt(2) is approximately 1.4, sqrt(3) is approx. 1.7 and sqrt(5) is approx 2.2. a) Initially, the price of y is $4 and the price of x is $6. What is the consumer’s optimal bundle? b) What is the consumer's initial utility? Now suppose that price of x increases to $8 and...

4. Andy's utility is represented by the function U(X,Y) - XY. His marginal utility of X is MUx = Y. His marginal utility of Y is MUY = . He has income $12. When the prices are Px - 1 and Py -1, Andy's optimal consumption bundle is X* -6 and Y' = 6. When the prices are Px = 1 and P, = 4, Andy's optimal consumption bundle is X** = 6 and Y* 1.5. Suppose the price of...

Rachel’s utility funtion U = x ∗ y, where MUx = y and MUy = x. The price of x is 2 and the price of y is unknown and equal to the variable py. Rachel’s budget constraint is 40 = 2 ∗ x + py ∗ y. When Rachel maximizes utility subject to her budget constraint, she purchases 5 units of y. What must be the price of y and the amount of x consumed? (Hint: solve for how...

Suppose that a consumer’s utility function is U(x,y)=xy＋10y. the marginal utilities for this utility function are MUx=y and MUy=x＋10. The price of x is Px and the price of y is Py, with both prices positive. The consumer has income I. (this problem shows that an optimal consumption choice need not be interior, and may be at a corner point.) Assume first that we are at an interior optimum. Show that the demand schedule for x can be written as...

Suppose a consumer’s preferences are represented by the utility function U(X,Y) = X2*Y. Therefore, MUx = 2XY • MUy = X2 Also, suppose the consumer has $32 to spend (M = $32), PY = 1, and that they spend all of their money on goods X and Y. Also, assume the consumer maximizes their utility subject to their budget constraint. Complete the following table: Px Quantity Demanded of X $1 $2 $3

Consider a consumer whose income is 100 and his preference is given by U-10x04yo6. If PX-Py-1, what is the optimal consumption bundle by the consumer? (Please write out the constraint utility maximization problem completely, including the budget function.) Derive the demand of Good X and Y by this consumer.
