Steve's utility for socks (q1) and other goods (q2) is given by U(q1,q2) =109¹929 The price of the composite good is P2=1 and the price of a pair of socks is p+2. Steve's income is Y=100. Every year, Steve's mom buys him 20 pairs of socks. How many dollars is the equivalent variation of the $40 that his mom spends on socks every year? Your Answer:

I. A)MRS=1/3, B)MRS=1/4, C)MRS=4/3, D)MRS=12 II. A)Rhea should buy more bread, less milk, B)Rhea should buy more milk, less bread, C) Rhea maximizes her utility at bundle A, so she should not change her consumptions of either good, D) Rhea cannot afford bundle A, so she should buy less of both goods III. A)Rhea's MRS at bundle A is greater than the price ratio (Pb/Pm), B)Changing her bundle moves Rhea to a higher indifference curve, C)The slope of the indifference curve (where bundle A is found) is not equal to the slope of Rhea's budget constraint, D)All of the above statements explain your answer to part II.
