Question
Mr Banda is consuming products A and B optimally and deriving total utility of 10
utiles. When his budget is increased from K80 to K81, his utility increases from 10
utiles to 10.1 utiles.
a) What is the marginal utility of X at the optimum when the price of X is K20?
b) What is the price of Y when the marginal utility of Y is 4 utiles?
c) Compute the Lagrange multiplier
d) What is the utility when the budget is reduced from K80 to K79?

After a bad harvest and thus bad economic conditions, the price of good X increases from Ksh.4.2 to Ksh. 4.8, while the price of good Y which was ksh. 4 increased to ksh.5. The income of the consumer was ksh. 30 before and after the good harvest.
