1. In class, we saw that for a fall in price the Compensating Variation (CV) was less than Marshallian Consumer Surplus (MCS), and that MCS was less than Equivalent Variation (EV). Use a 2-panel graph to demonstrate that CV>MCS>EV for a price increase.

CV=Compensating Variation EV=Equivalent Variation
3. Utility maximization under constraint, substitution and income effect, CV and EV (20 points) Josh gets utility (satisfaction) from two goods, A and B, according to the utility function U(A,B) = 5A1/4B3/4. While Luke would like to consume as much as possible he is limited by his income. a. Maximize Josh's utility subject to the budget constraint using the Lagrangean method. b. Suppose PA increase. Show graphically the income, substitution effect and total effect and explain....

Income and substitution, Compensating Variation: Show your work in the steps below. Consider the utility function u(x,y)-x"y a. Derive an expression for the Marshallian Demand functions. b. Demonstrate that the income elasticity of demand for either good is unitary 1. Explain how this relates to the fact that individuals with Cobb-Douglas preferences will always spend constant fraction α of their income on good x. Derive the indirect utility function v(pxPod) by substituting the Marshallian demands into the utility function C....

2.6 Marcia spends her money on coffee and sugar, which she views as perfect complements. She adds one table- spoon of sugar to each cup of coffee. A cup of cof- fee costs $1. Use graphs to show her compensating variation and equivalent variation if the price of sugar increases. Discuss the relative sizes of the change in her consumer surplus, compensating variation, and equivalent variation.

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...

Suppose u(x1, x2 ) = x1^ax2^1-a (a) Find the optimal bundle x(p, w) and the indirect utility function v(p, w). (b) Find the Hicksian demand function h(p, u) and the expenditure function e(p, u). (c) For the remainder of the problem, suppose α = 4 and w = 5. If p = (2,1), what is5 the optimal bundle? What is the utility of that bundle? [Leave your answer in terms of fractions and exponents] (d) Suppose the price of good...

A consumer has the following preferences u(11, 12) = log (11) + 12 Suppose the price of good 1 is pı and the price of good 2 is P2. The consumer has income m. (a) Find the optimal choices for the utility maximization problem in terms of P1, P2 and m. Denote the Lagrange multiplier by 1. (b) How do the optimal choices change as m increases? What does the income offer curve (also called the income expansion path) look...

Anna's utility function is given by U (r.y) = (r + 3) (y + 2), where I and y are the two goods she consumes. The price of good r is p ,. The price of good y is Py. Her income is m. (a) Write her maximization problem and find her demand functions for the two goods. Is it always possible to have an interior solution? Justify your answer. (b) Are the two goods ordinary or giffen? Are the...
