- Suppose that a consumer's marginal rate of substitution at her current chosen bundle is MUx/MUy=3 but she can exchange X and Y at Px/Py=5. Should she keep her current bundle, or can she make herself better off by trading at these prices? Which good will she buy, and which will she sell?Suppose that Alex's marginal rate of substitution (MRS) between good A and B is always equal to -2. The prices of the goods are $5 and $4 respectively. Alex's income is $20. Thus, his optimal consumption bundle must be (x*1,x*2) = (4,0), i.e., his demand for good A and good B is x*1 = 4 and x*2 = 0, respectively. Is this true or false? If true, show the steps in full to justify and if it is false, show the correct demand and expalin in details.Columns 1 through 4 of the accompanying table show the marginal utility, measured in utils, that Ricardo would get by purchasing various amounts of products A, B, C, and D. Column 5 shows the marginal utility Ricardo gets from saving. Assume that the prices of A, B, C, and D are $18, $6, $4, and $24, respectively, and that Ricardo has an income of $105. What quantities of A, B, C, and D will Ricardo purchase in maximizing his utility? How many dollars will Ricardo choose to save? Check your answers by substituting them into the algebraic statement of the utility‑maximizing rule. In other words, show it works when using this rule.
