Suppose a typical consumer s budget constaint is PX X + PY Y = I: a) Calculate the marginal rate of substition (MRS).
b) Suppose the consumer wishes to maximize utility subject to the budget constraint. Write down the Lagrangian for this problem.
c) Calculate the rst order conditions. (That is, calculate the equations that the consumer s utility-maximization problem must satisfy.)
