- Donald likes fishing (X1) and hanging out in his hammock (X2). His utility function for these two activities is u(x1, x2) = 3X12X24. (A) Calculate MU1, the marginal utility of fishing. (B) Calculate MU2, the marginal utility of hanging out in his hammock. (C) Calculate MRS, the rate at which he is willing to substitute hanging out in his hammock for fishing. (D)Last week, Donald fished 2 hours a day, and hung out in his hammock 4 hours a day. Using your formula for MRS from (c) find his MRS last week. (E) This week, Donald is fishing eight hours a day, and hanging out in his ham mock two hours a day. Calculate his MRS this week. Has his MRS increased or decreased? Explain why? (F) Is Donald happier or sadder this week compared to last week? Explain.Suppose that we have a utility function involving two goods that is linear of the form U(x, y) = ax + by. Calculate the expenditure function for this utility function. Hint: The expenditure function will have kinks at various price ratios.Individual that consumes two goods (X and Y) and has a CES Utility Function of the form: U = 100(X^(0.75) + Y^(0.75)). Income of 1000, the price of Good X is 10 and the Price of Good Y is 20 a) Find the Marginal Rate of Substitution as a function of the quantities consumed of Good X and Good Y. b) Write out the Lagrangian for this problem. c) Solve to find the demand for Good X, the demand for Good Y, and the highest level of utility for this individual. d) Now consider an increase in the price of Good X to 20. What is the demand for Good X and Good Y? What is the Utility of the consumer following the price change? e) Considering the change in demand for each good between parts c) and d), how much is due to the substitution effect and how much is due to the income effect? f) Show your answers on a graph.
- The utility function of a consumer is u = √x + 2y. (a) Calculate how much MRS of that consumer when x = 4. (b) If the consumer currently consumes 4 units of goods x and the price ratio of Px / Py = 1/4, then the consumer should increase or decrease the consumption of goods x?Charlie's utility function is (1-a) U(xa, XB) = Ax“xr-) where A > 0 and a > 0A student has a lunch utility function U(S, P) 8S + 3P, where S is number of salads per month and P is number of pizzas per month. The price of a salad is $5, the price of a pizza is 8, and his monthly income for lunch is $80. a) Derive the equation representing the consumer's demand for Salad. Represent the demand for Salad graphically. b) The price of Salad goes up to $25 and the price of Pizza does not change. Compute and represent graphically the new equilibrium of the student.

- Questions 1. Will's utility from vacations (91) and meals (92) is given by the function U(V, M) = 91 x 92. Last year, the price of vacations was $200 and the price of meals was $50. This year, the price of meals rose to $75, while the price of vacations remained the same. Both years, Will had an income of $1500. (a) What is the compensating variation for the price change in meals? (b) What is the equivalent variation for the price change in meals?Utility is a type of function that occurs in economics. When a consumer receives x units of a certain product, a certain amount of pleasure, or utility U, is derived. The graph represents a typical utility function. a) Find the average rate of change of U as x changes from 0 to 1; from 1 to 2; from 2 to 3; from 3 to 4. b) Why do the average rates of change decrease as x increases? a) The average rate of change of U as x changes from 0 to 1 is. (Type an integer or a decimal.) C Utility (pleasure units) AU 200- 150- 100- 50- 0 (1,67) (2,106) I (3,134) (4,156) 2 Number of units of product 4 XUtility maximization with a budget constraint. A hypothetical consumer spends all tgheir income on ramen noodles (N) and wild rice (W). N is the quantity of noodles; W is the quantity of wild rice. Their income is $1,600 per month. the price of noodles is $2 per package and the price of wild rice is $20 per pound. The utility function is U=sqrt(N*W). the MRS = -N/W. The budget constraint is: 1,600 = 2*N + 20*W Graph Qty of noodles (N) on vertical axis and Qty of wild rice (W) on horizontal axis. SOLVE: a. Graph the budget constraint. label all points. What is the slope of the budget constraint? b. Find the optimal quantities of noodles(# of packages) and the wild rice (# of pounds) given the budget constraint. graph these optimal quantities. draw your indifference curve on the same graph. c.
