what kind of problem is this.
Answer:
The correct answer is Maverick buying.
Explanation:
Maverick, is a wayward, a dissident, a rebel, someone who refuses to abide by the rules or resists joining a group. The term originates from Samuel A. Maverick (1803-1870), a Texas rancher, who refused to mark his cattle.
The "maverick buying", refers to purchases out of contract or channels established by an organization. For example, the Corporate Supply department negotiates a competitive price for certain particular models of laptops with a distributor. Days later, someone from the Human Resources department requests the purchase of a much more expensive model, for which a discount has not been negotiated.
Another example: traveling in an airline and staying in a hotel other than those with which the company has signed agreements.
The impact of bypassing the preferred purchasing channels and systems can vary from operational inefficiency, to missing out on the advantages of corporate contract negotiation, large fines and even jail time.

Answer:
a. Toby is not maximizing his utility
b. Toby should reduce his spending on cashew and increase his spending on peanuts.
Explanation:
a. Is Toby maximizing his total utility from the kinds of nuts? If so, explain how you know.
Toby will maximize his utility when we have:
MUp/Pp = MUc/Pc
Where;
MUp/Pp = Marginal utility of peanut divided by price of peanut = 100/10 = 10
MUc/Pc = Marginal utility of cashew divided by price of cash = 200/25 = 8
From the above, Toby is not maximizing his utility. I am able to know this because MUp/Pp > MUc/Pc (i.e. 10 > 8). An Toby will only maximize his utility when MUp/Pp = MUc/Pc.
b. If not, how should he rearrange his spending?
Since MUp/Pp > MUc/Pc (i.e. 10 > 8), Toby should reduce his spending on cashew in order to increase MUc and increase his spending on peanuts reduce MUp until MUp/Pp = MUc/Pc.
