Suppose the price of x1 is $5 and the price of x2 is $1 and Toni's income is $20. Suppose Toni gets a $5 gift card that can only be used for the purchase of x1 and there is no resale value of the gift card. With the gift card, the commodity bundle (1,20) is on Toni's budget constraint. True False 3. Tiffany's utility function is given by the formula U(x1, x2) = min(20x1, 10x2).

(a) Find the market demand function (QDx) and the market supply function (QSx) for commodity X (b) Determine the market demand schedule and the market supply schedule of commodity X (for whole dollar prices) and from them find the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity. (c) Plot, on one set of axes, the market demand curve and the market supply curve for commodity X and show the equilibrium point (d) Obtain the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity mathematically. (e) Explain why the equilibrium condition is considered stable. (f) Determine the elasticity of demand for commodity X at the equilibrium point. Question 2 Suppose that from the condition of equilibrium in Question 1, there is an increase in consumers' incomes (ceteris paribus) so that a new market demand curve is given by QDx = 140,000 - 20,000Px.

(Assume that the increase in income is 106). (e) In the light of your answer to 2 (d), comment on the nature of commodity X.2. At this point, we can analyze (stability, steady-state gain, sinusoidal steady-state gains, time-constant, etc.) of first-order, linear dynamical systems. We previously analyzed a Ist-order process model, and a proportional-control strategy. In this problem, we try a different situation, where the process is simply proportional, but the controller is a Ist-order, linear dynamical system. Specifically, suppose the process model is non-dynamic ("static" ) simply y(t) = cu(t) + Bd(t) where o and B are constants. The control strategy is dynamic i (t) = ar(t) + bir(t) + bzym(t) u(t) = cr(t) + dir(t) where ym(t) = y(t) + n(t) and the various "gains" (a, bi, . .., di) constitute the design choices in the control strategy. Be careful, notation-wise, since (for example) d, is a constant parameter, and d(t) is a signal (the disturbance). (a) Eliminate u and ym from the equations to obtain a differential equation for r of the form r(t) = Ar(t) + Bir(t) + Bad(t) + Ban(t) which governs the closed-loop behavior of r. Note that A, B1, B2, By are functions of the parameters a, b1, ... in the control strategy, as well as the process parameters o and B. (b) What relations on (a, b1. .... dj, or, B) are equivalent to closed-loop system stability? (c) As usual, we are interested in the effect (with feedback in place) of (r, d, n) on (y, u), the regulated variable, and the control variable, respectively. Find the coefficients (in terms of (a, bi, . . ., d1, 0, B)) so that y(t) = Cix(t) + Dur(t) + Died(t) + Dian(t) u(t) = Car(t) + Dar(t) + Dad(t) + Dzan(t) (d) Suppose that T. > 0 is a desired closed-loop time constant. Write down the constraints on the a, b1, b2, c and di (i.e., the parameters of the controller to be design) such that the following conditions hold: . closed-loop is stable . closed-loop time constant is To . steady-state gain from d -> y is 0 . steady-state gain from r - y is 12.
