His current consumption choice is 3 apples and 5 bread. The price of apple is $3 each, and the price of bread is $2.5 each. The last apple added 5 units to Sadid's utility, while the last bread added 7 units. Is Riaz making the utility-maximizing choice? Why or why not? Do you suggest any adjustment in Riaz's consumption bundle? Why or why not? Give reasons in support of your answer. State the condition for a consumer's utility maximizing choice and illustrate graphically. 2.
