Define the Marginal Rate of Substitution between two goods (X and Y). If a consumer’s preferences are given by U(X,Y) = X1/4Y 3/4, compute the consumer’s marginal rate of substitution as a function of X and Y. Calculate the MRS if the consumer has chosen to consumer 12 units of X and 30 units of Y.
