Available Options Are:
A. decrease his spending on both coffee and soda.
B. reallocate his spending away from soda and towards coffee.
C. not change his consumption of either coffee or soda.
D. reallocate his spending away from coffee and towards soda.
Answer:
D. Reallocate his spending away from coffee and towards soda.
Explanation:
The utility per dollar of Coffee = 15 utils / $3 = 5 utils per dollar
Similarly
The utility per dollar of Soda = 11 utils / $2 = 5.5 utils per dollar
As the utility per dollar spending is more in the case of soda, hence ALex must spend more on soda to draw maximum utility out of its spending. Option D is correct statement.
