11) Option C. When there is a diminishing MU, the total utility curve gets flatter and flatter. This happens with curve C so we select C
12) Option B. This is because the MU/$ is 4 for both in this case, (40/10 and 40/10) and that the income is getting exhausted (2*10 + 2*10 = $40)
13) Option C. Now optimal choice is 2 units of skiing and 4 units of skating which gives a total utility of (50 + 40 + 70 + 40 + 30 + 20) = 250.

Cole is about to purchase 4 units of good A and 6 units of good B. The price of A is $3 and the price of B is $2. Cole has only $24 to spend. Assume that the marginal utility of the fourth unit of A is 18 and the marginal utility of the sixth unit of B is 6. If Cole wants to maximize utility he should buy less of B and more of A. Cole cannot maximize utility...
