Armando consumes two goods: grapes and wine. He can purchase both at the market and also possesses a technology that allows him to costlessly convert any quantity of grapes into the same number of units of wine. This technology is not reversible: there is no quantity of wine that he can convert to grapes. Thus, for example, if he purchases 4 units of grapes and 3 units of wine, he could consume any bundle (4-s,3+ s) with s € [0, 4]. Armando's utility from consuming a units of grapes and y units of wine is u(x, y) = x²y. For each of the following questions, you may use, without proof, any results from the lectures for this course.
