His utility function is as follows:U(Qc,Qd) = (Qc)(Qd)The marginal utility that Donald receives fr

25、om carrots (MUc) and donuts (MUd) are given as follows: MUc = QdMUd = QcDonald has an income (I) of $120 and the price of carrots (Pc) and donuts (Pd) are both $1.a. What is Donalds budget line?b. What is Donalds income-consumption curve?c. What quantities of Qc and Qd will maximize Donalds utility?

26、d. Holding Donalds income and Pd constant at $120 and $1 respectively, what is Donalds demand curve for carrots?e. Suppose that a tax of $1 per unit is levied on donuts. How will this alter Donalds utility maximizing market basket of goods?f. Suppose that, instead of the per unit tax in (e), a lump

27、sum tax of the same dollar amount is levied on Donald. What is Donalds utility maximizing market basket?g. The taxes in (e) and (f) both collect exactly the same amount of revenue for the government, which of the two taxes would Donald prefer? Show your answer numerically and explain why Donald pref

28、ers the per unit tax over the lump sum tax, or vice versa, or why he is indifferent between the two taxes.Answer:a.Budget line: 120 = Qc + Qdb.The income consumption curve must satisfy:MUd/MUc = Pd/PcSubstituting for MUd, MUc, Pd, and Pc yields:Qc/Qd = 1 or Qc = QdSubstituting the information in (b)

29、 into the budget line:120 = Qc + Qc = 2QcQc = 60Qd = 60d.Rewriting the budget line:120 = PcQc + QdSubstituting the information in (b) into the budget line:120 = PcQc + Qc = Qc(Pc + 1)Qc = 120/(Pc + 1)e.The $1 tax on donuts raises the after-tax price to $2. The income-consumption curve becomes: MUd/M

30、Uc = Pd/PcSubstituting for MUd, MUc, Pd and Pc yields:Qc/Qd = 2 or Qc = 2QdThe budget line is:120 = Qc + 2QdSubstitute the income-consumption curve into the budget line to eliminate Qc:120 = 2Qd + 2Q = 4QdQd = 30Qc = 60/Donald buys 30 donuts, so he pays $30 in tax. If Donald paid $30 in a lump sum t

31、ax, his income would be $90. Resolve the utility maximization problem with I = 90, Pc = Pd = 1.The utility maximizing market basket is Qc = Qd = 45.4Donald prefers the lump-sum tax to the excise tax. Use the utility function to show which market basket is preferred.U(Qc, Qd) = QcQdlump-sum taxU(45,
