Solution :

a). Bundles  = U ( _____ , 2), lie on the same indifference curve. Suppose missing numbers is x.
 = U ( _____ , 2), lie on the same indifference curve. Suppose missing numbers is x.
So, 
    (40 x 5) + (2 x 5) = 50x + (2 x 2)
      210 - 4  = 5x
        
So Alexander has  apples and
 apples and  bananas. The indifference curve though
 bananas. The indifference curve though  also include bundle.
 also include bundle.
 Therefore, (41.2, 2)
b). 
                   
                   
                  = 0.4
So Alexander  has  apples and
 apples and  bananas with this bundle. Alexander would like to give up
 bananas with this bundle. Alexander would like to give up  unit apples for a banana.
 unit apples for a banana.
 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Pn = P0(1+r)∧n
Pnis future value of P0
P0 is original amount invested
r is the rate of interest
n is the number of compounding periods (years, months, etc.)
P(n) = 2250(1+(.03/4)∧8
** since the interest is compounding quarterly, you need to divide the rate by 4, the number of quarters in a year. 
Then you would do the math.

If a  family spends $56,000 a year for living expenses. If prices increase 5 percent a year for the next four years, the amount that the family need for their annual living expenses after four years is $68,068.35.
<h3>
Annual living expenses</h3>
Using this formula
Amount=Amount spent× (1+ rate)^ Number of years
Let plug in the formula
Amount=$56,000× (1+0.05)^4
Amount=$56,000× (1.05)^4
Amount=$68,068.35
Therefore If a  family spends $56,000 a year for living expenses. If prices increase 5 percent a year for the next four years, the amount that the family need for their annual living expenses after four years is $68,068.35.
