Solved 2 Utility Function U X Y X1 2y1 2 Budget Chegg Question: 2. utility function: u(x,y)=x1 2y1 2. budget constraint: 2x 4y=90 a. calculate the utility maximizing amount of x and y. now suppose that the price of x changes to px=4. b. calculate the compensating variation. c. calculate the equivalent variation. Substitute the expression of y into the utility function u(x,y). maximize the utility function which is now a function of only one of the good (good x in this case). the f.o.c yields the solution for good x. substitute the value of good x onto the budget constraint to get the solution for good y. x yy m p yx pp.

Suppose a consumer’s preferences for two goods can be represented by the cobb douglas utility function u(x, y) = a x α y β, where a, α, and β are positive constants. a. what is mrsx, y ? b. is mrsx, y diminishing, constant, or increasing as the consumer substitutes x. for y along an indifference curve?. Utility function: u(x,y)=x 1 2 y 1 2. budget constraint: x 2y=12. if the price of good y changes to py=3, what is the compensating variation? (round to the nearest one tenth). Problem 1. utility maximization. (75 points) in this exercise, we consider a standard utility maximization problem with an unusual (for us) income. the utility function is ( )= log( ) (1− )log( ) this function is well defined for 0 and for 0 from now on, assume 0 and 0 unless otherwise stated.
