You have the following observations about a consumer's purchase choices of two commodities, 1 and 2: When the prices were ($3,$6) consumer purchases bundle A = (2, 5). When the prices were ($7, $3) consumer purchases bundle C = (3, 5) You did not observe when consumer purchases Bundle B = (4, 4) . a. Compute the cost of each bundle A, B, C given each price pair. Then determine how the consumer ranks the bundles using Directly Revealed Preferred (DRP) relation. b. What can you say about the bundles using Indirectly Revealed Preferreu (IRP) relation?
