Question

Suppose $n = 2$, $p = (2, 1)$, and $y > 0$. Find the bundles that maximize the utility functions below subject to the consumer's budget constraint $px \leq y$. (i) $u(x) = x_1 x_2$; (ii) $u(x) = \min(2x_1, x_2)$.

Step 1

Given: Number of goods $n = 2$. Price vector $p = (p_1, p_2) = (2, 1)$. Income $y > 0$. Budget constraint: $px \leq y$, which means $p_1 x_1 + p_2 x_2 \leq y$. Substituting the given prices, the budget constraint is $2x_1 + 1x_2 \leq y$, or $2x_1 + x_2 \leq Show more…
