Question

Mikkel likes both books (x) and cinema tickets (y). Mikkel's preferences over these two goods can be represented by the following utility function: $u(x, y) = 12y + 60x - x^2$ (c) what is Mikkel's marginal rate of substitution between books and cinema tickets MRS(x,y)? 1.2 $\frac{2x}{3y}$ $5 - \frac{1}{6}x$ 10 $60 - 2x$

          Mikkel likes both books (x) and cinema tickets (y). Mikkel's preferences over these two goods can be represented by the following utility function:
$u(x, y) = 12y + 60x - x^2$
(c) what is Mikkel's marginal rate of substitution between books and cinema tickets MRS(x,y)?
1.2
$\frac{2x}{3y}$
$5 - \frac{1}{6}x$
10
$60 - 2x$

Mikkel likes both books (x) and cinema tickets (y). Mikkel's preferences over these two goods can be represented by the following utility function:
u(x, y) = 12y + 60x - x^2
(c) what is Mikkel's marginal rate of substitution between books and cinema tickets MRS(x,y)?
1.2
(2x)/(3y)
5 - (1)/(6)x
10
60 - 2x
