Mary spends all her budget on statistical software (S) and office supplies(O). Her preferences can be represented by the utility function: U(S, O) =2 ln(S) + 3 ln(O). Compute the marginal rate of substitution of software for office supplies. Is the MRS increasing or decreasing in S? How do we interpretthis?
Mrs. Rochester earns $4500 a week and spends her entire income on computers andpastries, since these are the only two items that provide her utility. Furthermore, Mrs.Rochester insists that for every computer she buys, she must also buy a pastry.e) Assume for this question only that when the price of computers decreases, less ofthat good is demanded. Illustrate the income and substitution effect of this pricedecrease.
