Solution :

U(A, B) = 5A + 2B

a). Bundles (40, 5) = U ( _____ , 2), lie on the same indifference curve. Suppose missing numbers is x.

So, U(40, 5) = U(x, 2)

   (40 x 5) + (2 x 5) = 50x + (2 x 2)

     210 - 4  = 5x

       x = 41.2

So Alexander has 40 apples and 5 bananas. The indifference curve though (40, 5) also include bundle.

Therefore, (41.2, 2)

b). $MRS_{BA} = \frac{MU_B}{MU_A}$

                  $=\frac{\delta U/\delta B}{\delta U/\delta A}$

                  $=\frac{2}{5}$

                 = 0.4

So Alexander  has 40 apples and 5 bananas with this bundle. Alexander would like to give up 0.4 unit apples for a banana.
