2. Consider the utility maximization problem with n goods (a finite) (a) If the utility function u(c) is strictly concave, increasing, C1, and as- suming interiority of the optimal solution, what is the problem the consumer is solving? What are the FOCs for this problem using an "unconstrained" ap- proach (i.e., variable substitution in "primal" problem)? (b) Do optimal solutions for all goods satisfy "MRS" "price ratio" condition (i.e., MRSy(c) for all (V) i j)? If so, explain why. If...
