a. A consumer is willing to trade 3 units of x for 1 unit of y when she has 6 units of x and 5 units of y. She is also willingto trade in 6 units of x for 2 units of y when she has 12 units of x and 3 units of y. She is indifferent between bundle(6, 5) and bundle (12, 3). What is the utility function for goods x and y? Hint: What is the shape of the indifferencecurve?b. A consumer is willing to trade 4 units of x for 1 unit of y when she is consuming bundle (8, 1). She is also willing to tradein 1 unit of x for 2 units of y when she is consuming bundle (4, 4). She is indifferent between these two bundles. Assumingthat the utility function is Cobb–Douglas of the form U(x, y) ¼ xayb, where a and b are positive constants, what is theutility function for this consumer?c. Was there a redundancy of information in part (b)? If yes, how much is the minimum amount of information required inthat question to derive the utility function?3.8Find
