Suppose Maryís utility function is given as U(X; Y ) = 2X + Y . Mary has and income of 60 dollars. If the price of X is Px = 1 and the price of Y is PY = 3, how many units of X and Y should Mary consume in order to maximize her utility. Show your result on a graph (Plot the indi§erence curve and the budget constraint and show the utility maximizing point).
