Eren’s two main hobbies are taking vacations overseas (V) and eating expensive meals (M). His utility function is given as: U(V,M) = V^2MLast year, the average price of taking a vacation overseas was US$200 and the average price of an expensive meal is $50. However, due to supply problems in Onions, the average price of an expensive meal rose to $75. The average price of a vacation did not change. His income, which is $1500, did not change. Suppose that the Department of Welfare wants to know how much should be given to Eren to offset his change un utility due to the price increase of an expensive meal. Calculate the compensative variation (CV).
Suppose a consumer's utility is given by: u (x1, x2) = a/xT + b/x2 Where a= 8, and b = 4 %3D What is the value of MU1 (x1, X2)when x1=9 and x2=8. (Note: The answer may not be a whole number, so round to the nearest hundredth) (Note: The numbers may change between questions, so read carefully)
Upon graduating from UT this May, you take on a management position working at UtMax theater. You will consider the utility of seeing performance over 1 month, and suppose that at a regular price of $$$ per ticket (my assigned ticket price is 145), customers will see no performance, however with the price reduced by $5, customers will see one performance per month and when reduced by $10, customers will see two performances. As long as the number performances, x, is small, your demand function for performance can be modeled by p=D(x). Write down your demand function.

Consider a consumer who like combination a = (10,1) better than combination b = (3, 3) and is indifferent between combination a, combination c = (2, 5) and combination d = (4, 2.5)., 1. Which of the following functions could be the consumer's Utility function? i) U(x,y) = xy; ii) U(x,y) = x + y; iii) U(x,y) = x²y² 2. In an X/Y diagram, draw the consumer's indifference curve through combination a. 3. Does the consumer have a preference for mixing x and y? 4. Using calculus, find the expression for the consumer's Marginal Rate of Substitution as a function of variables x and y.
Zeynep is at the supermarket buying her bi-weekly groceries. As she arrived at the store right before closing, not much is left on the shelves; so her purchases are limited to beef, B, and an assortment of organic vegetables, V. Beef costs £50/kg and vegetables Ł10/kg. Her utility function is expressed as U(B,V) = B0-6v0.3. She has ±150 to spend. Please answer the following questions using this information: A) Given the vegetables cost less than beef, explain why Zeynep would not only buy vegetables. B) Write Zeynep's constrained maximization problem (objective function subject to her budget constraint). C) Using the Lagrangian technique, find how much beef and vegetables would Zeynep buy? D) Show that for the preferences represented as above, demand for beef is a function of only its own price, pg, and income, m, but not the price of vegetables, py. Note: Rather than using the given prices and income, use PB, Py and m. Find and comment on the comparative statics, i.e., how do changes…
