b. For utility maximization, the MU of the last dollar spent on each good should be the same, that is, MU per dollar = MU/price.

6 | 3 |
Thus 2 units of movie and 3 units of wine would be consumed.
c. Now since the price of wine changed, so the MU per $ would be = MU / 5

Now the equilibrium is when the MU per $ is same, which is at 10 and 6.
When MU per $ is 10, total cost = 3 * 10 + 4 * 5 = $50.
When MU per $ is 6, total cost = 5 * 10 + 5 * 5 = $75. (exceeds budget)
3 units of movies and 4 units of wine would thus be equilibrium allocation.
d. PED =
When Price = $10, Quantity = 3
When Price = $5, Quantity = 4
PED =
PED = 0.2857/-0.667
PED = -0.4283
what will be the budget allocation? WORK IT OUT w LaunchPad interactive activity 16. Answer the...
