An hypothetical consumer is faced with the budget constraint specified as Y=3A + 4B, where Y= money income, A= quantity of commodity A and B is the quantity of commodity B consumed ( price of A and B in #).
(A) from the budget constraint; state:
(I) the price of commodity A
(ii) the price of commodity B
(B) given that the money income Y= #1,200
(I) sketch the budget line with commodity A on the horizontal axis and commodity B on the vertical axis ;
(ii) Determine the quantity of A if 60 units of B is consumed.
(iii) Determine the amount of money income unspent if 100 units of A and 80 units of B are consumed.
(iv) determine the extra amount of money the consumer will need to purchase 250 units of each commodity

B. How many oranges and apple will he buy in order to maximize his utility?
C. How much will he spend on the fruits?
D. What should he do if his marginal utility (MU) of orange is 35 utils
