The weekly utility function of a consumer is: U = 2AB where A and B are...
The weekly utility function of a consumer is: U = 2AB where A and B are two goods in the consumer’s consumption bundle. Based on this utility function the marginal utility of good A is: MUA = 2B and the marginal utility of good B is: MUB = 2A, where A and B represent the quantities of good A and good B, respectively. The price of good A is $5 whereas the price good B is $10. a. Write the...

1. Charlie’s utility function for weekly consumption of bananas (B) and Apples (A) is given by U = BA . a. Suppose Charlie consumes 20 bananas and 10 apples in a week. Sketch his indifference curve through that bundle on a diagram. (While it doesn’t really matter which good is on the horizontal axis, for consistency with our classwork, assume bananas are on the horizontal axis.) b. Use calculus (partial derivatives) to derive formulas for the marginal utilities (MU) of...

Arlo is very health-conscious and consumes only two goods, rice
cakes and quinoa. His utility function is ?(?,?)=?2?u(r,q)=r2q,
