Clayton's utility function can be written as x0.751x0.252, where x1 is the quantity of hamburgers consumed and x2 is the quantity of milk shakes. His income is $2,000.00.
Hamburgers cost $8.00 each and the price of one milk shake is
$4.00. If he is maximizing his utility, how much will Clayton spend
on hamburgers? 
$
The price of hamburgers decreases to $7.37 each. Now, how much will Clayton spend on hamburgers if he is maximizing his utility?

Consider an individual who considers x1 and x2 to be perfect substitutes at a rate of 2:1 i.e. he gets the same utility from consuming 2 units of x1 as he gets from consuming 1 unit of x2. Let his utility function be given as: U=x1+2x
Furthermore, let the price of x1 be $1 and the price of x2 be $4, while his income is fixed at $20. a) Graph the budget line with x1 on the x axis and x2 on the y-axis. (1 Marks) b) On the same sketch above, graph two indifference curves. (Be careful about the rate of substitution between both x1 and x2 and hence the slopes of the indifference curves).
