Using the demand curve for good x derived above calculate


Question: Consider the following Utility Functions below:

a. U = X2 + Y2

b. U = X2Y2

c. U = XY2

d. U=XY + X + Y

1. Assume the initial prices are Px = $2, Py =$4 and M = $100. Find the utility maximizing consumption bundle for each utility function.

2. Now derive the demand curve for Good X for each of the utility functions (Hint: solve the equations but do not substitute in for Px)

3. Using the demand curve for Good X derived above, calculate the price elasticity of demand for Good X at Px=$2. Note: calculate the point elasticity of demand.
