Answer:

b. 3 McBurgers and 2 cans of Alpo

Explanation:

If the goal is to maximize utility, Ms. Tightwad should look into purchasing the combination that yields the highest utility.

a. 4 McBurgers, 0 Alpo cans:

$U_a = 40$

b. 3 McBurgers, 2 Alpo cans:

$U_b = 36+13 = 49$

c. 2 McBurgers, 4 Alpo cans:

$U_c = 28+17 = 45$

d. 1 McBurger, 6 Alpo cans (assume marginal utility stays constant after the 4th can):

$U_d = 16+17+2 = 35$

Since option b. yields the highest utility, she should buy 3 McBurgers and 2 cans of Alpo

Answer and explanation:

Demand elasticity measures the changes in quantity demanded as the result of changes in price. Demand elasticity is calculated by dividing the percentage change in quantity demanded by the percentage change in price. If the result is equal or higher than one (1) the product is <em>elastic </em>but if the result is lower than 1 the product is <em>inelastic</em>.

In the case, <em>as the elasticity of demand of the museum ticket is 0.45 it means the museum tickets is inelastic. This scenario implies that in front of changes of price the quantity demanded will not change. Thus, as a curator of the museum you should </em><u><em>increase the museum ticket price to increase revenue</em></u><em>.</em>
