Question
(a) Dividing MUX and MUY by their respective prices compute the weighted
marginal utility or marginal utility of money expenditure and draw up Table 2 showing diminishing returns for the consumption of the 6 units?
(b) Briefly state what you can infer on this equation; MUX/PX = MUY/PY as far as equi marginal principle and managerial economics is concerned?
C)Given that MUX/PX and MUY/PY are equal to 6 when 5 units of X and 3 units of Y are purchased. By purchasing these combinations of X and Y, calculate
the amount the consumer will spend and derive the maximum satisfaction from combination of these units.
(d) Applying the above principle illustrate in terms of a figure, and draw marginal
utility curves for goods X and Y. You need to use marginal utility and price
i.e. Marginal utility per Kwacha spent on good X = MUX/PX, and that of Y =
MUY/PY. The MUX/PX curve should be shown in figure (a) while the
MUY/PY curve should be shown in Fig (b). Please do not draw negative
portion of the marginal utility curves.
