Ali Receives Utility From (D)omestic Vaccines from Kayseri, and the Sinovac Vaccine-(F)oreign. The utility structure is U(D,F)=D x F. The price of the foreign vaccine because of increasing returns to scale is $200, whereas at its earlier stages, the domestic vaccine is produced at a higher cost, and higher price of $250. The government has given each and every citizen a fixed payment of $8000 to spend just on vaccines, but it has not specified which vaccines. a- Does Ali Solve the Utility Maximization Question in an interior equilibrium or a corner solution? How do you know? What condition does the interior equilibrium necessitate regardless.

a- Does Ali Solve the Utility Maximization Question in an interior equilibrium or a corner solution? How do you know? What condition does the interior equilibrium necessitate regardless.
b- Find Ali's Utility Maximizing Level of Domestic and Foreign Vaccines when he uses just the government allowance on vaccines? What is his utility level?
C- Suppose the government wants to decrease Turkey's health exports. It pushes a vaccine subsidy, just for domestic vaccines that makes the price of domestic equal to $160. How does the utility maximizing Domestic and Foreign Vaccine equilibrium change? Has the government policy worked? What is its cost?
d- Disaggregate the income effect and substitution effect using the Slutsky decomposition strategy?
e- Let us say that the efficacy of the vaccines are learned to be differentiated so that the (D)omestic Vaccine has shown twice as much medical value as the (F) vaccine? What part of the PpXF PpxD Question 3a will change as a result of this information? How will change?
