1. A consumer is considering to buy only two products, X, and Y. The amount of total utility yielded by their consumption is shown in the table below. Assume that the prices of X, and Y are $8, and $2 respectively, and that the consumer has an income of $24 to spend. a) Complete the following table by computing the marginal utility and the marginal utility per dollar for successive units of product X and Y.

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

True or False.
1. If MUX/PX > MUY/Py at the best affordable bundle with goods X and Y the individual will not consume any of good Y.

Rachel’s utility funtion U = x ∗ y, where MUx = y and MUy = x. The price of x is 2 and the price of y is unknown and equal to the variable py. Rachel’s budget constraint is 40 = 2 ∗ x + py ∗ y. When Rachel maximizes utility subject to her budget constraint, she purchases 5 units of y. What must be the price of y and the amount of x consumed? (Hint: solve for how...
