Raylene's consumption of peanut butter (good 1) and almond
butter (good 2) is characterized by the utility equation
u(x1,x2)=3x1+3x2. Her
income is given by m = $100.00, and the prices
per unit for peanut butter and almond butter are
p1= 5 and p2= 10,
respectively.
She wakes up on Black Friday and her income has magically increased
by $150.00.
Assume prices have not changed. With this change in income, find
her change in consumption for both goods.
The change in peanut butter (good 1) consumed is 
units. Good 1 is
a(n)
good.
The change in almond butter (good 2) consumed is units. Good 2 is
a(n)
good.

Part 1 (1 point) Juliana's optimal consumption of movie tickets is given by the function x* = 5m, where m is her income and Pi is the price of a movie ticket. According to Juliana's preferences, movie tickets are a(n) good. Part 2 (1 point) Assuming her income (m =300.00) increases by $100.00 and the price of a movie ticket is Pi = 2, by how many units does her consumption of movie tickets change?

Arlo is very health-conscious and consumes only two goods, rice
cakes and quinoa. His utility function is ?(?,?)=?2?u(r,q)=r2q,
where ?r is the number of packs of rice cakes he consumes and ?q is
ounces of quinoa. The price of a pack of rice cakes is $4, and the
price of an ounce of quinoa is $8. Arlo has $720 to spend this week
on these two goods. Suppose that the price of quinoa suddenly falls
to $4.

Refer to the table above. Assume that the price of good X is $2
per unit, the price of good Y is $5 per unit, and that the consumer
spends a total of $44 on both goods. What combination of
X and Y will the consumer purchase in order to maximize
utility?
A.
We don’t have enough information of determine his consumption
bundle.
B.
He will spend more on X than on Y because X is less expensive
than Y.
