Given the following:   zA = 16 − 3x         zB = 14 − 2y,  where z is the marginal utility per dollar measured in utils (zA = MUA/PA, zB = MUB/PB), x is the amount spent on product A, and y is the amount spent on product B. Assume that the consumer has $9 to spend on A and B—that is, x + y = $9.     Instructions: Enter your answers as whole numbers.   a. How is the $9 best allocated between A and B? On A: On B:     b. How much utility will the marginal dollar yield?
