Mitchell’s money income is $150, the price of X is $2, and the price of Y is $2. Given these prices and income, Mitchell buys 50 units of X and 25 units of Y. Call this combination of X and Y bundle J. At bundle J Mitchell’s MRS is 2. Given these prices and income, what is Mitchell’s equilibrium consumption of X?

  • X > 50

Mitchell’s money income is $150, the price of X is $2, and the price of Y is $2. Given these prices and income, Mitchell buys 50 units of X and 25 units of Y. Call this combination of X and Y bundle J. At bundle J Mitchell’s MRS is 2. At bundle J, if Mitchell increases consumption of Y by 1 unit how many units of X can he give up and still reach the same level of utility?
