Suppose that the consumer’s income is only $2000 and that Px = $8 and Py = $4. Solve for the utility maximizing quantities to be consumed of each good.

For all questions on this homework assume that the consumer spends all his/her income on goods x and y, whose quantities are denoted and and prices are Px and Py. For all questions, assume that the consumer’s utility function is

Suppose that the consumer has an income of $4,000 and that Px = $8 and Py = $4.

Solve for the utility maximizing quantities to be consumed of each good.

Draw a graph of the solution, plotting on the vertical axis and on the horizontal axis. (Use a ruler to make straight line, scale graph properly, put a label on each axis.)

Suppose that the consumer has an income of $4,000 and that Px = $4 and Py = $4.

Solve for the utility maximizing quantities to be consumed of each good.

Draw a graph of the solution using the same scaling used in question 1, plotting on the vertical axis and on the horizontal axis. (Use a ruler to make straight line, scale graph properly, and put a label on each axis.)

Create a new diagram using that combines and builds on the graphs for question 1 and 2 (using the same scaling used in question 1). Specifically, create an upper panel graph that combines those completed for questions 1 and 2, and create a graph showing the demand for good x below the upper panel.

Again: use a ruler to make straight lines, scale graphs properly, and put a label on each axis of each graph.
