PROBLEM 1 Max has the utility function U(x‚ y) = x(y + 1). The price of x is $2 and the price of y is $1. Income is $10. How much x does Max demand? How much y? If his income doubles and prices stay unchanged‚ will Max’s demand for both goods double? To set his MRS equal to the price ratio‚ Max sets (y+1)/x = 2. His budget constraint is 2x + y = 10. Solve these two equations to find that x=11/4 and y=9/2. If his income doubles and prices stay unchanged‚ his demand for both goods does not double
