An individual’s utility is expressed by the function u(x,y) = xy The person’s income is ten dollars (I = $10) The price of item x is $1. The price of item y is $1. Maximize this consumer’s utility subject to a budget constraint using the Lagrange Multiplier method. At what point does the marginal rate of substitution equal the price ratio?
