An individual consumes products X and Y and spends $36 per time period. The prices of the two goods are $3 per unit for X and $2
vekshin1

Answer:

a) 3X + 2Y = 36

b) X = 6 , Y = 9

c) 27

Explanation:

Individual consumes : X and Y

Spends : $36 per time period

unit cost : $3 per unit for X

                 $2 per unit for Y

utility function : U( X, Y ) = .5XY

<u>A) Budget equation mathematically</u>

X* Px + Y* Py = M

3X + 2Y = 36

Px and Py = unit cost for X and Y

M = Total spent ( revenue )

<u>b) Values of X and Y that will maximize utility </u>

Maximum utility ( MRS )  = Px / Py ,

MRS = MUx / MUy

 = Y/X  = 3/2

∴ 2Y = 3X

From BC : 6X = 36 ( X = 6 plug into mathematically equation above )

∴ X = 6 , hence Y = 9

<u>c) Total utility generated per unit of time </u>

U( X,Y ) = .5XY

            = 0.5 * 6 * 9 = 27

Charlie's brother, Alexander, also consumes apples (A) and bananas (B). Alexander's utility function happens to be U(A, B) = 5A
Andrei [34K]

Solution :

U(A, B) = 5A + 2B

a). Bundles (40, 5) = U ( _____ , 2), lie on the same indifference curve. Suppose missing numbers is x.

So, U(40, 5) = U(x, 2)

   (40 x 5) + (2 x 5) = 50x + (2 x 2)

     210 - 4  = 5x

       x = 41.2

So Alexander has 40 apples and 5 bananas. The indifference curve though (40, 5) also include bundle.

Therefore, (41.2, 2)

b). $MRS_{BA} = \frac{MU_B}{MU_A}$

                  $=\frac{\delta U/\delta B}{\delta U/\delta A}$

                  $=\frac{2}{5}$

                 = 0.4

So Alexander  has 40 apples and 5 bananas with this bundle. Alexander would like to give up 0.4 unit apples for a banana.
