A. Complete the below table. NUMBER OF BURGERS | TOTAL UTILITY OF BURGERS | MARGINAL UTILTY OF BURGERS | NUMBER OF PIZZA | TOTAL UTILITY OF PIZZA | MARGINAL UTILTY OF PIZZA 0 | 0 | - | 0 | 0 | - 1 | | 40 | 1 | 12 | 2 | | 32 | 2 | 20 | 8 3 | 96 | 24 | 3 | 24 | 4 | | 16 | 4 | | 4 5 | 112 | | 5 | | 2 6 | 120 | | 6 | | 0 B. Suppose you had a budget of $20.00 and the prices of a burger and a slice of pizza are $5.00 and $2.00 respectively. 1. What is the marginal utility per dollar spent for the fourth burger? 2. What is the marginal utility per dollar spent for the fourth slice of pizza? 3. What would be your optimal consumption bundle?

Complete the following table and answer the questions below: $$\begin{array}{ccc} \begin{array}{c} \text { Units } \\ \text { Consumed } \end{array} & \text { Total Utility } & \text { Marginal Utility } \\ \hline 0 & 0 & \\ 1 & 10 & 10 \\ 2 & - & 8 \\ 3 & 25 & - \\ 4 & 30 & - \\ 5 & - & 3 \\ 6 & 34 & - \end{array}$$ a. At which rate is total utility increasing: a constant rate, a decreasing rate, or an increasing rate? How do you know? b. "A rational consumer will purchase only 1 unit of the product represented by these data since that amount maximizes marginal utility." Do you agree? Explain why or why not. c. "It is possible that a rational consumer will not purchase any units of the product represented by these data." Do vou agree? Explain why or why not.
