Q2. Thirsty Ed drinks only pure spring water, but he can purchase it in two different-sized containers: 0.15 liter and 0.4 liter. Because the water itself is identical, he regards these two goods as perfect substitutes. a. Assuming Eds utility depends only on the quantity of water consumed and that the containers themselves yield no utility, express this utility func- tion in terms of quantities of 0.75-liter containers (x) and 2-liter containers (y). Graph a few indifference curves.
