You are choosing between two goods, X and Y, and your marginal utility from each is shown in the following table. Units of X MUx Units of Y MUy 1 10 1 8 2 8 2 7 3 6 3 6 4 4 4 5 5 3 5 4 6 2 6 3 a. If your income is $9 and the prices of X and Y are $2 and $1, respectively, what quantities of each will you purchase to maximize utility? ______units of X and ______units of Y b. What total utility will you realize? ______utils c. Assume that, other things remaining unchanged, the price of X falls to $1. What quantities of X and Y will you now purchase? _____units of X and ______units of Y d. Using the two prices and quantities for X, complete the table to derive the demand schedule (a table showing prices and quantities demanded) for X.

The market demand for productXis given by: \[ Q_{d}=6-1 / 2 P \text { or } P d=12-2 Q \] The market supply for goodXis given by: \[ Q_{s}=-14+2 P \text { or } P s=7+1 / 2 Q \] whereP=price per unit andQis number of units. Draw a supply-and-demand graph with these curves. 1.) Using the line drawing tool, draw the supply and demand curves. Properly label your lines. 2.) Using the point drawing tool, plot the equilibrium point. Label your point 'E'. Note: Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required objects. The equilibrium price is$and the equilibrium quantity is unit(s). (Enter your responses as integers.) A per-unit excise tax is imposed on suppliers of productX, and the market supply with the tax is now given by: \[ Q_{s}=-19+2 P \text { or } P s=9.50+1 / 2 Q \] Using the graph on the right, show this supply curve. 1.)

As a general rule, is it safe to assume that a change in the price of a good will always have its most significant impact on the quantity demanded of that good, rather than on the quantity demanded of miller goods? Explain.
