Ari intends to purchase a new car and has narrowed it down to a Dodge Ram truck or a Toyota Camry. A Dodge Ram truck costs $55000 while a Toyota Camry costs $20000. The utility that Ari will get from Dodge Ram truck is 12500 while Toyota Camry will generate a utility of 2500. Note: A purchase generating utility tells us the marginal utility of the good. What is the Marginal Utility per Dollar for Dodge Ram truck? What is the Marginal Utility per Dollar for Toyota Camry? Will Ari be better off buying a Dodge Ram truck or a Toyota Camry?
