Expert Solution

1)

(a) u(x, y) = min{2x, y} [z is misprinted here]

Now, this is an example of perfect complement. The indifference curves are L shaped along the line: 2.x = y.

Now, u(x, y) = 2

Either, 2.x = 2 => x = 1

or, y = 2

Hence, the kink point on the indifference curve u=2 is at (1, 2).

Also, u(x, y) = 4

Either, 2.x = 4 => x = 2

or, y = 4

Hence, the kink point on the indifference curve u=4 is at (2, 4).

The following diagram shows the two indifference curves.

The two indifference curves are U=2 and U=4.

(b) u(x, y) = 2.x + 3.y

Now, this is an example of perfect substitute. The indifference curves are negatively sloped straight lines. The slope of the indifference curves is (-2/3).

Now, u(x, y) = 2

or, 2.x + 3.y = 2

or, x + y/(2/3) = 1

Hence, horizontal intercept is 1 and vertical intercept is (2/3).

Also, u(x, y) = 4

or, 2.x + 3.y = 4

or, x/2 + y/(4/3) = 1

Hence, horizontal intercept is 2 and vertical intercept is (4/3).

The following diagram shows the indifference curves at u = 2 and u = 4.
