Charlotte has $40 to spend on two goods, x1 and x2. Her utility function for these two goods is U(x1, x2) = √(x1) + x2. The price of each unit of good 1 is $2 and the price of good 2 is $20. (a) How many units of each good will Charlotte choose to maximize her utility? (b) What must her income be in order to consume positive quantities of both goods?

Assume Matt's utility function is given by u(x1, x2) = (min(x1, x2))^2. The prices of goods 1 and 2 are p1 and p2, respectively, and his income is m. a) What kind of preference does this utility function represent? b) Find the optimal levels of consumption for goods 1 and 2.

Jane's utility function is U(x, y) = x + 2y, where x is her consumption of good X and y is her consumption of good Y. Her income is $2. The price of Y is $2. The cost per unit of X depends on how many units she buys. The total cost of x units of X is the square root of x.
