How many hours will a person allocate to leisure activities if her indifference curves between consumption and goods are concave to the origin?
Would you expect total utility to rise or fall with additional consumption of a good? Why?
Dave currently consumes 10 hot dogs and 6 sodas each week.  At his current consumption basket, his marginal utility for hot dogs is 5 and his marginal utility for sodas is 3.  If the price of one hot dog is $1 and the price of one soda is $0.50, is Dave currently maximizing his utility?  If not, how should he reallocate his spending to increase utility?
