0.1 0.9 Jordan has the utility function u(x₁, X2)=x₁₁¹×2. As this is a Cobb-Douglas function, we know that 10% of Jordan's income will be spent on good 1, and 90% of his income will be spent on good 2. We also know that the demand functions associated with this utility function are: x₁=0.1 m P1 m and x2=0.1. P2 Assume that Jordan is initially endowed with 200 units of good 1.
