1. Jin purchases only two commodities. Her preferences are characterized by the utility function U(x1, x2) = x 3/5 1 x 2/5 2 Suppose that p1 = $15, p2 = $10, and M = $50.
a) Write down Jin's budget equation.
b) Find Jin's optimal consumption bundle (x ∗ 1 , x∗ 2 ) using the Lagrangian method. You must form the Lagrangian equation as part of your solution for full credit.
c) Now suppose the price of commodity increases to p2 = $20. Find Jin's optimal choice using the MRS Method.
