The government decides to place a tax 7 on the price of sport cars. How large does T need to be so
that Alonso buys half of his original number of sport cars? What is Alonso's new utility under the
tax?
O T = 2, V = 450
OT=2, V = 400
O T = 1.5, V = 350
OT=1, V = 500

U(C, P) =
= 4CP. The prices for C and P are, respectively, pc and pp. In what
