Q4)
A) MU = value due to additional banana
= dU/dB
= 10 + 6B - B2
B) table
Banana B | TU | MU |
0 | 0 | - |
1 | 12.667 | 12.667 |
2 | 29.33 | 18 |
3 | 48 | 19 |
4 | 66.67 | 18 |
5 | 83.33 | 15 |
6 | 96 | 10 |
7 | 102.667 | 3 |
8 | 101.33 | -6 |
9 | 90 | -17 |
C) no, more than 7 bananas are not Consumed .
Bcoz if B > 7 , then MU becomes negative,
its mandatory to answer only first question

Suppose the consumer's utility from consuming goods X and Y is U = X0.4 y1 -0.4, and her budget constraint is 1X + 3y = 16. If she optimally chooses her bundle, how much of good X does she consume?
Diana's utility function for consuming apples (Xa) and Bananas (Xb) is U(Xa,Xb) = XaXb. Suppose the prices of apples is $1, bananas $2, and her income is $40. On a graph with bananas on the y-axis, use blue ink to draw Bianca’s budget line.With red ink, plot an indifference curve that gives her a utility level of 150. Using black ink, plot an indifference curve that gives her a utility level of 300. Can Bianca afford any bundles that give...
