Budget Constraint/Indifference Curve
At commodity bundle A, which consists of only apples and oranges, Annette's marginal utility per dollar spent on apples is 10 and her marginal utility per dollar spent on oranges is 8. Diagram a representative budget constraint and indifference curve that passes through bundle A given Annette's budget is exhausted at bundle A. Is Annette maximizing utility? Why or why not? If she is not, what could she do to increase her level of satisfaction?
