Suppose a consumer’s preferences are represented by the utility function U(X,Y) = X2*Y. Therefore, MUx = 2XY • MUy = X2 Also, suppose the consumer has $32 to spend (M = $32), PY = 1, and that they spend all of their money on goods X and Y. Also, assume the consumer maximizes their utility subject to their budget constraint. Complete the following table: Px Quantity Demanded of X $1 $2 $3

Suppose a consumer spend all of her income on only two goods, x and y. Her preferences over these two goods are represented by the utility function u(x,y)=2x1/2+3y. Find the mrsxy. Is it diminishing or not? (In the solution of this problem our teachers prefers to solve this via MUx/ MUy this ratio. But in other schools they prefer to solve this MUx/ MUy . Which one is true ? Why they use minus sign ?

Marta consumes only goods X and Y and faces the following utility function: U=7 X+4 Y. The marginal utility for X is MUX=7 and the marginal utility for Y is MUY=4 . The price of X is $10 and the price of Y is $50. Marta has an initial budget of $200. How many of X and Y will Marta buy given her utility function, her budget, and the prices? X= Y= Suppose that the government places a restriction on X...

Suppose that a consumer’s utility function is U(x,y)=xy＋10y. the marginal utilities for this utility function are MUx=y and MUy=x＋10. The price of x is Px and the price of y is Py, with both prices positive. The consumer has income I. (this problem shows that an optimal consumption choice need not be interior, and may be at a corner point.) Assume first that we are at an interior optimum. Show that the demand schedule for x can be written as...

Donna and Jim are two consumers purchasing strawberries and chocolate. Jim’s utility function is U(x,y) = xy and Donna’s utility function is U(x,y) = x2y where x is strawberries and y is chocolate. Jim’s marginal utility functions are MUX=y and MUy=x while Donna’s are MUX=2xy and MUy=x2. Jim’s income is $100, and Donna’s income is $150. What is the optimal bundle for Donna if the price of strawberries is $2 and the price of chocolate is $4?
