Question
Chapter 20.F, Problem 7P
To determine
Suppose that at a higher satisfaction level than in problem F-3, Sue’s constant-utility preferences are as shown in the table below. Calculate the slope of Sue’s new budget constraint using the information provided in problem F-5. Supposing now that the price of a soft drink falls to $1, find the combination of goods that satisfies Sue’s utility-maximization problem in light of her budget constraint.
| Combination of Bottled Water and Soft Drinks | Bottled Water per Month | Soft Drinks per Month |
|---|---|---|
| A | 5 | 22 |
| B | 10 | 14 |
| C | 15 | 8 |
| D | 20 | 4 |
| E | 25 | 2 |
