function u(x, y) = y + 2x. a) Peter is currently consuming bundle A = (2,4) with 2 units of good x and 4 units of good y. Calculate his current level of utility from consuming this bundle. b) Write the expression the indifference curve representing Peter's current level of utility (i.e., the one you found in part (a). Next draw this indifference curve. c) By looking at the indifference curve you drew in part (b), answer the following questions: • Does Peter like good x? Good y? Explain. • What can you say about the marginal rate of substitution of good x for y, MRSxy? Is it positive? Negative? Constant? Increasing? Decreasing? Interpret/explain your answer in terms of the tradeoffs Peter is willing to make between goods to keep the same utility level. d) On the same graph you drew in part (b), draw the indifference curve for a utility level of 10. Plot and label in the graph bundles B = (1,2), C = (1,6), and D = (2,6). Next, indicate (using the corresponding notation) how Peter would rank bundles A, B, C and D. e) What if Peter's utility function would be u(x, y) = y - 2x, instead? Repeat the analysis done in parts (b) and (c).

While Alberto is a bike enthusiast, unfortunately, Alberto's record keeping has been spotty. Each mechanic is paid $120 a day and labor costs are the only variable costs of production.
