Suppose the weighted
marginal utility for two
goods, x and y, at a position
of consumer equilibrium is
70. If the price of good x is
R10 and the relevant
marginal utility for y is 140,
what is the price of good y
and the relevant marginal
utility for good x?
A. The price of y = R70; the
marginal utility for x = 70
%3D
B. The price of y = R2; the marginal
utility for x =
700
C. The price of y = R10; the
marginal utility for x = 700
D. The price of y = R2; the marginal
utility for x = 140
E. The price of y = R140; the
marginal utility for x = 70
