Q5. A consumer consumes commodity X and Y at any given point in time the utility function is given by U(XY) = VXY, the price of good X and Y are given by P, and Py respectively. Take the level of income to be M. I. Assume that P=1 and P = 1 and the income (M) = GH¢100. Find the consumption optimal bundle and corresponding total utility using the general approach and the Lagrange approach? II. If the price of X increases to GH¢2. What will be the utility maximum quantities of X and Y? III. Calculate the total utility at this consumption level? IV. What is the substation and income effect? V. Calculate the compensation and equivalent variation?
