Question

13) Morty has preferences for yellow shirts and blue jeans represented by the utility function $U = Q_{ys}^{1/4}Q_{bj}^{0.75}$. If yellow shirts are $2, blue jeans are $3, and he has $50 to spend, what is his optimal bundle using the Lagrangian method? a. What are the Marshallian demand functions for each good?
