Explain why utility maximization subject to the budget constraint implies that the consumer purchases that basket of commodities for which
1. all income is used up.
2. the marginal rate of substitution equals the price ratio.
3. the marginal utilities per dollar of the two goods are equal.
If you use a diagram in your answer, make the diagram large and label all curves, axes, and points.

Suppose that a consumer with an income of $1,000 finds that basket A maximizes utility subject to his budget constraint and realizes a level of utility U1. Why will this basket also minimize the consumer’s expenditures necessary to realize a level of util

Q1. A consumer chooses an optimal consumption point where the A) marginal rate of substitution equals the relative price ratio. B) slope of the indifference curve exceeds the slope of the budget constraint C) ratios of all the marginal utilities are equal D) All of the above are correct. Q2. A budget constraint illustrates the A) prices that a consumer chooses to pay for products he consumes. B) consumption bundles that give a consumer equal satisfaction. C) purchases made by consumers. D) consumption bundles that a consumer can afford
