abby is a single mom with a weekly budget of $100. She can spend her weekly income on food and diapers for her son. Price of food is $1 and price of a diaper is 50 cents. Her son needs at least 5 diapers a day, therefore she must purchase at least 35 diapers weekly. Jennifer’s utility function is U (f, d) = f 0.9d0.1, where f and d represent quantity of food and diapers, respectively. Question 1 Part a Find abbys optimal consumption bundle. Make sure to draw her budget constraint and indifference curves and clearly demonstrate your solution.
