Utility Maximization:

The maximum utility that a consumer derives from the use of a specified amount of a good or service.

Consumer M aximise the utility when following condition is satisfied.

MUx / MUy = Px / Py

Y / X = 5 / 4

4Y = 5X

According to given sitation the budget constraint is

Px ( X ) + Py ( Y )= M

5X + 4Y = 410

Using 4Y = 5X

thus, 5X + 4Y = 410

5X + 5X = 410

10X = $410

X = 41.

notka56 [123]

Answer:

Explanation:

Where Price equals marginal cost ( MC ) , supply will be made .

A ) Supply curve for rainfed area  almond growers

P = .02 Q

Q = 50 P

Supply curve for drier area growers

P = .04 Q

Q = 25 P

B ) No of growers of rainfed area = 500

no of growers of dry area = 300

Total supply = Qs = 50 P x 500 + 25 P x 300

= 25000 P + 7500 P = 32500 P

C )

Market demand Qa = 105000 - 2500 P

For equilibrium Qa = Qs

32500 P = 105000 - 2500 P

35000 P = 105000

P = 3

D ) Qs = 32500 x 3 = 97500 .

E ) amount by rainfed growers

= 500 x 50 x 3 = 75000

amount by dry area growers = 300 x 25 x 3 = 22500
