- Question 2 David spends his budget on chocolate and chip. His utility function is given by ?(?1,?2)= 2?1?2, where ?1 is the number of chocolates he consumers per week, and ?2 is the number of chips he buys per week. A chocolate costs 10 SEK, and a chip costs 20 SEK. David’s weekly budge for consuming on these two goods is 120 SEK. (1) What is David’s budge line? Draw the budget line on a graph with chocolate amounts on the horizontal axis and chip amounts on the vertical axis. Write explicitly at which points budget line crosses the axis. (2) What is David’s marginal utilities for the two goods, respectively? What is his marginal rate of substitution between the two goods? (3) What is David’s optimal choice? Calculate the numerical answer for the optimal bundle. Also draw an indifference curve for David on the same graph as question(1) and show the optimal bundle.If a household has an income of $50 and buys only milk at $3 each unit and honey at $6 each unit, what is the household’s budget equation? Explain your answer.A consumer’s budget set for two goods (X and Y) is 500 ≥ 4X + 5Y.a. The budget set is illustrated below. What are the values of A and B? The horizontal axis is labeled Good X. The vertical axis is labeled Good Y. A line begins at a point on the vertical axis goes down to the right and ends at a point on the horizontal axis. A = B = b. Does the budget set change if the prices of both goods double and the consumer’s income also doubles? multiple choice Yes, it rotates clockwise Yes, it shifts out from the origin Yes, it shifts in toward the origin No, it does not change c. Given the equation for the budget set, what are the prices of the two goods?Good X: $ Good Y: $ What is the consumer’s income? $
