Homework Answers
Answer 1: option 5: it is not possible to if anything about the consumer's preference for x relative to z
Answer 2: option 1: x>z. it assumes that the concept of transitivity holds true.
Answer 3: option 3: perfect complements. this is because both the goods should be consumed in equal quantities to maintain utility levels.

For each of these utility functions, find the optimal consumption choices z" and y" for a consumer with budget w = 1, who faces prices pr-0.05 and Py 0.3. Are the goods substitutes or complements, or neither (no need to show a calculation for this part)? (i) u (x, y) (ii) u (z, y) +2y min {x, 2y

Consider the following utility function of 3 goods, x, y and z: U(x,y,z)=ax+by+cz; x,y,z≥0 and a, b, c are constants. The prices of good x and y is denoted by pX and pY respectively. The income is denoted by m. Good z is provided by the government free of cost but the quantity of good z provided by the government depends on the consumption of good x and y chosen by the consumer. For example, if in equilibrium, the consumer...

Suppose a consumer views two goods, X and Y, as perfect complements. Her utility function is given by U = MIN [2X, Y]. Sketch the graph of the consumers indifference curve that goes through the bundle X = 7 and Y = 8. Put the amount of Y on the vertical axis, and the amount of X on the horizontal axis. Which of the three assumptions that we made about consumer preferences is violated in this case?
