The utility function of a consumer from consumption of Q1 units of good x1 and Q2 units of good is given by U(Q1,Q2) =5 lnQ1 + 2 lnQ2 , while the unit price of good x1 is 4 dollars while that of good x2 is 2. Find the combination of Q1 and Q2 which will maximize the utility function with the budget constraint of 28 dollars.
