I only need answers for e and f. Problem 3: Suppose your utility function (i.e. level of satisfaction from consuming a and b) is given by ?(a, b)=?1/3?2/3 where a represents apple and b represents banana. Your total income is $500. The price of apple is $5 and the price of banana is $10.(a) Write your Budget Constraint (BC).(b) Write your Rational Choice (RC). (c) Find the consumption combination of bananas and apples that maximizes your satisfaction given your budget...

Multiple Choice Practice- Show work or provide short explanation 4. Charlie's utility function for apples (A) and bananas (B) is U(AB)-AB. The price of apples used to be S1 per apple and the price of bananas used to be $2 per banana. His incomse was $40 per day. If the price of apples increases to $2.25 and the price of bananas falls to S1.25, then in order to be able to afford his old bundle,...

5. (30 points) Ashley splits her income of $30 between apples and bananas. She has a utility function of U(A, B) AB (that is, A times B). Each apple costs $3 and each banana also costs $3. She chooses the optimal bundle of apples and bananas to maximize her utility (o) (10 pointo) () How many apples does she consume? (1) How many bananas does she consume? (i) What is the total utility from the optimal affordable choice?
