Simone has the utility function below. Her income is $100 and the price of Y is always $1. For each possible price of X, what is the optimal amount of consumption of X for Simone? U(x, y) = x^(2/5) y^(3/5) Price of X = $8 Price of X = $4 Price of X = $2 Price of X = $1
'The table shows the marginal utility schedules for product X and product Y for a hypothetical consumer, The price of product X is $6 and the price of product Y is $2. The income of the consumer is 530. Units of x MU Units of Y Muy 16 When the consumer purchases the utility-maximizing combination of product X and product Y, total utility will be 76 356 96 156 306 086'
