Now, imagine a “poor” graduate student with a weekly income of $330. What is her optimal allocation of spending between these two activities? What is her total utility with this allocation? What would be the graduate student’s allocation if the price of an “On-the-town” event fell to $60? What would be her total utility now? (Work with whole number quantities).

With the given income of $330,the student will purchase until her MU/P for In home = MU/P of on the town events
So,the student will purchase 3 units of In home Event and 1 unit of On the Town Event
Total utility = 1100+800 = 1900
When the price of On the town event falls to $60,then, the student will purchase
3 units of On the Town event and 2 units of In home Event
Total Utility = 780+1900 = 2680
