- Terry attends college and works part-time in a drug store. She can work up to 40 hours each week and is paid $9 per hour. The following table shows her utility from different levels of leisure and income. Refer to the attached picture for the table. 1. Fill in the Marginal Utility columns above. 2. What will be Terry’s total utility from both leisure and income when working 20 hours per week?arrow_forward8. Fabian consumes X and Y and the following utility function represents his utility: U = 2XY a. With a utility function of U = 2XY, Fabian's MU, = 2Y and his MU, = 2x ,where MU is marginal utility. Write an equation for Fabian's marginal rate of substitution (MRS). b. Suppose Fabian's income is $120 and Px = S6 and Py-$2, where Px is the price of X and Py is the price of Y. Write an equation for Fabian's budget constraint. c. Write the equation that equates the slope of Fabian's budget constraint to the slope of Fabian's indifference curve: d. If Fabian is spending all of his income, how much X and how much Y will he choose? Use the equations you wrote in part's b and c to answer this question. e. What will Fabian's utility be with this combination of X and Y? f. Now suppose the price of X increases to P.=10. Write the equation that equates the slope of Fabian's budget constraint to the slope of Fabian's indifference curve. How will this change the optimal combination of X and Y? What…arrow_forward
