For an individual the Marginal Rate of Substitution for good X and Y is constant and equal to 1 for all combinations of the two goods in his indifference map. The price of good X is $4 per unit and the price of good Y is $5 per unit. The individual has a total budget of $80. Determine the bundle of goods X and Y that maximize his utility.

Form Utility

The term utility in general refers to the satisfaction earned from usage of a particular product or service. Utility always plays an important role because it influences various important elements like demand & thereby the price of the good or service as well. Though utility is not easy to measure, various types of economic models can be used indirectly. There can be various types of utilities like economic utility, marginal utility, cardinal utility, form utility.
