See Answer →Marshallian demand function for goods X and Y.
See Answer →Consider a Cobb-Douglas utility function
U (X, Y) = X^1/2 Y^1/2
Where X and y are the two goods that a consumer consumes at per unit prices of Px and Py respectively. Assuming the income of the consumer to be ₹M, determine:

See Answer →. a. Consider a pure-exchange economy of two individuals (A and B) and two goods (X and Y) Individual A is endowed with 5 units of good X and 3 units of good Y, while individual B with 3 and 4 units of goods X and Y respectively. Assuming utility functions of individuals A and B to be UA=XAYA^2 and UB=XBYB where Xi and Yi for i= {A, B} represent individual i's consumption of good X and Y respectively, what will be the set of Pareto optimal allocation in this economy?
