He does notreceive any utility from owning a toothbrush, but for the consumption of every tube oftooth paste he gains a utility of 2 utils – but only if he owns a tooth brush.

The current price of tooth brushes on the market is £5 andthe current price for tooth paste is £1 per tube. Assume that Andrea aims to maximiseconsumer surplus.a) In a graph, draw total utility as a function of number of toothpaste tubes,assuming that Andrea buys 1 tooth brush.b) How many tubes will Andrea buy if he wants to maximise consumer surplus,assuming that Andrea can buy any amount of tooth brushes? What is Andrea'stotal consumer surplus?c) How many tubes will he buy if the current price is £0.50 per tube?d) Find Andrea's income-consumption curve for tooth paste tubes for incomesbetween £0 and £21, assuming a price of £1 per tube.

Answered: d) Find Andrea's income-consumption…
