Charlie’s utility function is U(xA, xB) = xAxB. Suppose that the price of apples is 1, the price of bananas is 2, and Charlie’s income is 40. (a) On a graph, use blue ink to draw Charlie’s budget line. (Use a ruler and try to make this line accurate.) Plot a few points on the indifference curve that gives Charlie a utility of 150 and sketch this curve with red ink. Now plot a few points on the indifference curve...

Consider the utility function U(x,y) = 3x+y, with MUx=3 and MUy=1 e) On a graph with x on the horizontal axis and y on the vertical axis, draw a typical indifference curve (it is not exactly to scale, but it needs to reflect accurately whether there is a diminishing MRS x,y). Also, indicate on your graph whether the indifference curve will intersect either or both exes. label the curve U1. f) on the same graph draw a second indifference curve...
