Roman loves corn bread. He buys corn meal and wheat flour in order to make corn bread. His recipe calls for two cups of corn mea
l and one cup of flour for each batch that he bakes. More corn bread is better for Roman. He can bake fractions of a batch, but has no use for corn meal or flour that is left over. What of the following is Roman’s utility function on cups of corn meal, denoted by c, and cups of flour, denoted by f? (A) U(c,f)=min{c,2f}
(B) U(c,f)=min{2c,f}
(C) U(c,f)=min{2c,3f}
(D) U(c,f)=min{3c,sf}
(D) U(c,f)=2c+3f
This is an example of Leontif utility function which states that the preferences of a consumer is to a constant ratio of quantities of two or more goods in his demand bundles and having an extra unit of a single good will not increase the utility of the consumer and will make the extra unit to waste. But having more units of all the goods in the demand bundle which maintain the constant ratio will increase the utility of the consumer.
A good example usually used in economics is that of a pair of shoe. Having one right and one left of a type of shoe gives a consumer utility at a constant ratio of 1:1, and increasing each leg by multiple of one at every point in time will increase the utility of the consumer, while increasing just only one makes the utility not to change. For instance, having only two left shoe will not give the consumer any utility and make both the left shoe useless.
In the question, the ratio of cups of corn meal, denoted by c, and cups of flour, denoted by f, is 2:1. This implies that to increase the utility of the consumer, c has to increase by a multiple of 2 at every point in time while f has to increase by one at the same point in time to maintain the constant ratio of 2:1. Increasing only c by 2 or only f by 1 will maintain the constant ratio and it will lead to a waste of the increased unit of the affected commodity.
Therefore, option (B) U(c,f)=min{2c,f} is the correct answer that gives a constant ratio of 2:1 = 2c:f.
I would give homless people food clothes some cash and let them wash their hair. I would travel to Italy with my family and Hawaii. If I could have millions of dollars I would take it and use it for good.

I hope it helps, kindly give brainliest if it does.
Regular savings accounts are also called deposit savings accounts. They are the easiest way to save money in a bank or credit union and receive interest. These types of accounts require a small deposit to open, and the minimum balance is also low. One can avoid monthly charges by maintaining the minimum balance at all times.
The deposit/regular savings accounts are very liquid. Most banks will not have restrictions on the number of deposits and withdrawals per period, say a month. Due to this feature, these accounts earn the lowest interest compared to the other savings accounts. Deposit/ regular accounts are also referred to as transactional savings accounts.
The other types of savings accounts include Money market accounts and Certificates of deposit accounts.
