2 and 3 please.
A consumer purchases two goods, food (F) and clothing (C). Her utility function is given by U(F,C)= FC +F. The marginal utilities are MU, = C +1 and MUS = F. The price of food is Pc , the price of clothing is Pc, and the consumer's income is I. 1) What is the demand curve for clothing? 2) Is clothing a normal good in this case?

Nora consumes only two goods (food and clothing) and her preferences for these goods can be represented by the following utility function UF,C=F2C where F is the quantity of food consumed and C is the amount of clothing consumed respectively. Suppose Nora’s allocated monthly income on the two goods is $M and the prices of the two goods (food and clothing) she prefers are $PF for food and $PC for clothing. Using the above information write Nora’s utility maximization problem...

Consider a simple economy with two goods, clothing and food, and two consumers Jacob and Will. Jacob is endowed with 100 units of clothing and 100 units of food. Will is endowed with zero units of clothing and 200 units of food. Suppose that Jacob’s optimal demand for clothing is C = 50 + 50PF / PC where PF is the price of food and PC the price of clothing. Will’s optimal demand for clothing is C = 100PF /...

Jennifer buys two goods, food (F) and clothing (C), with the
utility function U(F,C) = FC. Assume initially that she has an
income of $72, the price of clothing is PC = $1 per unit, and the
price of food is initially PF1 = $9 per unit and that the price
subsequently falls to PF2 = $4 per unit. Use this information and
the accompanying graph to answer the following questions.

The utility that Julie receives by consuming food F and clothing C is given by U(F, C) = FC. For this utility function, the marginal utilities are MUF = C and MUC = F. a) On a graph with F on the horizontal axis and C on the vertical axis, draw indifference curves for U = 12, U = 18, and U = 24. b) Do the shapes of these indifference curves suggest that Julie has a diminishing marginal rate...

Consider a small open economy (e.g. the Netherlands) producing two goods, clothing and food. The clothing industry uses capital (K) and labor (LC) as inputs, while the food industry uses land (La) and labor (LF ) as factors of production. The production technologies for the two industries are given by QC = K ¼ LC 3/4 ; QF = La1/2L F 1/2 . Also, the country is endowed with 216 units of capital, 360 units of labor, and 9 units...

John has preferences for food F and clothing C described by a utility function U(F,C) = min (F, 2C). Suppose that food costs $1 a unit and that clothing costs $2 a unit. John has $12 to spend on food and clothing. (10 pts.) a) On a graph, draw indifference curves corresponding to u = 6, u = 10, u = 14. Make sure to label coordinates clearly. Using the graph, find the optimal choice of food and clothing. Let...
