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?

Clara’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. What is (x,y) that maximizes her utility?
