a. Please see attached graph with the shaded budget set labelled A
b. Please see attached. Curve C; D and E are the indifference curves. The most suitable one would be D since it is on the budget curve. E is not maximum utility and C is unattainable given his budget of $20.
c. U (X,Y) = X + 2Y
At C, Utility = 10 + 2(10) = $30. That is above his budget
At D, Utility = 10 + 2(5) = $20. This is within his budget. – most utility.
At E, Utility = 5 + 2(5) = $15. This is below his budget.
The Indifference curve that gives most utility is D, where cheese is 10 and cocoa is 5 units.
