Price of Cake = $3.60
Price of Coke = $1.00
Expenditure available = $8.60
Calculate the marginal utility per dollar
MU per $ = MU/Price
Equilibrium condition = MUcake/Pricecake= MUcoke/Pricecoke
In this table there are two combinations where the marginal utilities per dollar of both the goods are equal.
1st
1 unit of cake and 5 units of coke
Expenditure = 1*$3.60 + 5*$1 = $8.60
2nd
4 units of cake and 6 units of coke
Expenditure = 4*$3.60 + 6*$1 = $20.4
This combination is not attainable.
Out expenditure limit is $8.60
Hence, if William wants to maximize his utility, he should buy 1 slice of cake and 5 cans of coke.
