Abby has to consume 2 times as many units Y as she does good X

The Utility function is given as

Utility = X²Y²

MUx = 2XY²

MUy = 2X²Y

The cost of good X = 10 dollars

The cost of good Y = 5$

At the optimum cost of consumption

\frac{MUx}{MUy} =\frac{X}{Y}

\frac{2XY^{2} }{2X^{2}Y } = \frac{10}{5}

When we cancel out the equation

\frac{Y}{X} = 2

Y = 2X

In conclusion, Abby has to consume 2 times as many units Y as she does good X
