C1 [19 marks] Suppose Malcolm and Barnaby are the only two people in a pure exchange economy. Food and clothing are the only two commodities. Malcolm is endowed with 30 units of food and 10 units of clothing, while Barnaby is endowed with 10 units of food and 30 units of clothing. Let F = units of food and C = units of clothing. Malcolm’s utility function is UM = 2 min(F, C) and Barnaby’s utility function is UB =...

Suppose that the profit of a car producing firm is given by: ? = ?? − ?(?) And that the cost function is given by: ?(?) = 4? where ? is profits, ? is the price and ? is quantity produced. By setting profits equal to a constant level, ?, derive an expression for the isoprofit curve of this firm which expresses ? as a function of ? (for a given level of profits, ?). c) Let the demand curve...

2. Consider a pure exchange economy with two goods, wine (x) and cheese (y) and two con- sumers, A and B. Let cheese be the numeraire good with price of $1. Consumer A's utility function is UA(x, y) = 2.c + y and B's utility function is UB(x, y) = xy. A's initial allocation is 10 units of c and 0 units of y. B's initial allocation is 0...

Question 1: Louis the retired Canadian lives on a fixed budget and consumes only two goods: toques (T) and maple syrup (M). Suppose Louis monthly budget is 100 and the price of the two goods are (PT,PM) (4,2).

(Question 5:9 points total, 4 for each part) Remember Fred and Penny: We assumed a two- person world. Penny is a smoker, Fred is not, and the smoke makes Fred sick. Cigars are provided for free by God, the marginal cost of cigars is zero for both Penny and Fred. Continue to assume that Penny enjoys smoking some cigars and continue to assume that her marginal benefit from each additional cigar...

Start with the demand side. The household in question has the following Cobb- Douglas utility function: The household also faces the following budget constraint: The above says that the household's after-tax income, (1-T)Y, is divided between consumption of goods and services, C,, and the amount spent on housing services (r+0+ τ.)P,HH, . This latter variable can be thought of as the user cost of housing and consist of the rate of interest (r), the rate of depreciation (6) and residential...

4. In this problem, you will illustrate the idea of resampling and sampling distributions. A ganma distribution with shape k and scale θ has density exp(-v/0) Assume shape k = 2 and scale θ = 3 (a) Use the function dgamma in R to evaluate the density for a range of values between 0 and 20. Produce a plot of the density (b) The (true) mean and variance of the gamma distribution are simple...
