Consider the following 3 utility functions with good x and good y: ? ?(?, ?) = (?^2)*sqrt(?), ? ?(?, ?) = 2? − (1/2)?, ? ? (?, ?) = 4 ln ? + ln ? a. Find Marginal Utility (MUx and MUy) for each these utility functions. b. Is assumption that more is better satisfied for both goods in all of these utility functions? If not, specify for which function(s) and for which good(s) it is not satisfied. c. Does...

(b) Suggest two distinct utility functions that represent such preterences. (Hint: Think about monotonic transformations.) (c) Find MRS analytically. How does MRS depend on the values of (1, 72). Intuitively explain why (d) She spends her total income of $100 paying pi $2 for each Red Delicious and p2 $1 for each Gala. Find her optimal demand and show it on the graph. (e) Describe Kate's optimal choice(s) when p $1. Consumer Demand 5. For each of the...
