A consumer has income M, and faces prices (for goods 1 and 2) p1 and p2. For each of the following utility functions, graphically show the following: (i) the Slutsky substitution and income e⁄ects when p1 decreases. (ii) the Hicks substitution and income e⁄ects when p1 decreases. (iii) the Marshallian and Hicksian demand curves for good 1: (a) perfect complements: U(x1 , x2) = min {4x1, 5x2} (b) quasi-linear: U(x1 , x2) = x^2/3 1 + x2

Consider the utilityfunction u(x1,x2) = 2lnx1+lnx2. Initially, the prices are p1 = $2 and p2 = $1 per unit. The consumer has an income of $18. Then, the price of good x1 increases to p'1 = $3 per unit. State the consumer's maximization problem and use this problem to derive his demand functions for the two goods. Determine whether the two goods are ordinary or Giffen. Determine whether the demand functions for the two goods are elastic, inelastic or unit...
