Q1. Assume you are given $20 a week to spend only on your favorite choices of drinks. You have two favorite drinks: Di costs $2 and D2 costs $4. Your utility from the purchase of your drinks is U(D₁) and U(D2). The values of utilities are given below - D₁ 0 1 2 3 4 5 U(D₁) 0 12 20 26 30 32 D₂ 0 1 3 U(D₂) 0 2 3 32 5 20 40 444 46 X is the number of D1 and Y is the number of D2 you purchase in a week. a) What combination of X and Y would make you a utility maximizer? b) If you are not maximizing your utility, how should you reallocate your allowance? Explain.
