Consider the following utility function of 2 goods, x and y: U(x,y)=min{x+2y, y+3x} ; x,y ≥0. a) Carefully draw the indifference curve when utility level is 10. Explain your answer. b) If income is $100 and price of good x and y is $10 and $20 respectively, then find out the consumption bundle that maximizes utility.

13. Consider an individual with a utility function U = min{3x,, x} where x1 and x2 are the quantities of goods 1 and 2 consumed, respectively. If the prices of good 1 is $5 and the price of good 2 is $5 and the consumer's income is $60, how much of goods 1 and 2 does she buy? a. x, = 4, x, = 4 b. x, = 6,X, = 3 c. x, = 8, x, = 2 d. x,...

Consider a consumer whose utility function is given by U(x, y) = x^1/4y^1/2, where x and y represent quantities of consumption of two consumer goods. (a) Derive and interpret the consumer’s Marshallian demand functions for x and y. (b) Derive and interpret the consumer’s Indirect Utility Function. (c) If the consumer’s income is $1000 and the prices of x and y are both $5, how should the consumer maximize her utility? What is her maximum level of utility? (d) Suppose...

Consider a consumer whose utility function is given by U(x, y) = x^1/3 y^2/3, where x and y represent quantities of consumption of two consumer goods. (a) If the consumer’s income is $100 and the prices of x and y are both $1, how should the consumer maximize her utility? What is her maximum level of utility? (b) If the price of y rose to $2, what would be the resulting income and substitution effects? Illustrate your answer.

Consider the consumer Mr. Magnificent, who has the utility function u(x,y) = min{ x, 2y}. This consumer has an income of $234 and the price of both x and y is $6 a unit. Unfortunately for Mr. Magnificent, the federal government needs to raise tax revenue of $30. a. Find the consumer’s optimal basket and utility in the absence of taxes. b. If the government uses the lump‐sum approach for taxation, what is the resulting utility earned by Mr. Magnificent? c. Now,...

3. Suppose an individual has perfect-complements preferences that can be represented by the utility function U(x,y)= min[3x,2y]. Furthermore, suppose that she faces a standard linear budget constraint, with income denoted by m and prices denoted by px and p,, respectively. a) Derive the demand functions for x and y. b) How does demand for the two goods depend on the prices, p, and p, ? Explain.
