John has a utility function for goods x1 and x2 which is represented by u(x1,x2)=x10.2x20.8. Assume her income is 100 TL and the prices of x1 and x2 are 10 TL and 20 TL, respectively.     A) What is the optimal consumption bundle, given income and prices of the two goods?   B) How will this bundle change, when all prices double and income is held constant? When all prices double and income doubles?   C) Derive the Engel curves.
