Currently, consumers earn 2,000, the price of x-jae is 50 and the price of y-jae is 80. utility function u=1/2xy
(1) Get a Budget Set
(2) Seek a Consumer Balance Point
(3) What is the price effect if the price of x material falls to 20? And what are the income effects and the magnitude of the alternative effects respectively (take into account the magnitude of the utility represented by the indiscriminate curve)?

Suppose that there are two consumers A and B and two products x and y. The initial endowment W is such that consumer A is endowed with (WXA, WYA) = (1,8) and consumer B is endowed with (WXB, WXB) = (8,27). Both consumers have standard preferences, and their utility functions are the same and equal to UA(xA, yA) = xA * yA2 UB(xB, yB) = xB * yB2.

An economy produces 10,000 computers valued at $2,000 each. Of these, 2,000 are sold to consumers, 3,000 are sold to businesses, 3,000 are sold to the government, and 1,000 are sold abroad. No computers are imported. The unsold computers at the end of the year are held in inventory by the computer manufacturers. Please enter your answers as numeric responses with no decimal places. (ie. 4,000,000 or $4,000,000 not "Four million dollars") Also because these answers will be large numbers...
