Problem on Marginal utility
Question:
Max has a utility function U =√ x1x2 where x1 is litres of ice-cream and x2 is boxes of strawberries. The marginal utility of a litre if ice-cream is MU1 =0.5 √x2/ x1 and the marginal utility of a box of strawberries is MU2 =0.5 √x1 /x2. The prices of x1 and x2 are both $2 and Max has a budget of $80.
(a) How much of each good will Max demand?
(b) A fat-tax of $2 per litre is placed on ice-cream so that it now costs Max $4 per litre. Everything else remains the same. How much of each good does Max now consume? How much tax does he pay?
(c) Now suppose that, instead of imposing a $2 tax on ice-cream, the government imposes a $20 income tax, reducing Max’s budget to $60. Would Max prefer the $2 tax on ice-cream or the $20 reduction is his budget?

I chose civil engineering for my graduate studies because I am fascinated with the concepts of municipal and urban engineering. Since it has been my area of interest from high school and I had done some research on the topic I thought the graduate program would be a breeze. But I was soon proved wrong and found myself struggling from the very first semester. At TheReliableTutor my online civil engineering assignment tutor helped walk me through the different concepts and with in-depth quality research that was missing from my work.

I was unable to find any sort of solution to my case study related to the hip and femur fracture patient. However, I was surprised to see that in HwA they have a separate group of nursing experts for the musculo-skeletal assignments and homeworks. It was really helpful and till now I keep in touch with HwA for all my nursing solutions.

When I got the opportunity to get my Masters in Finance Management from one of the top B-schools of London I jumped and took it. But once there I realized that I was being unable to keep up with the course structure and the way the professors wanted the assignments to be researched. That is when I found TheReliableTutor.com. Their online finance tutor guided me through the process and showed me how to structure the research and citations. Now my grades have improved and I can submit all my assignments and do my finance homework on time."

I needed help writing the solution to the assignment on how to derive the equilibrium constant expression for a protein crosslinking reaction using mass spectrometry. But i just did not know where to get the relevant solution material. Thanks to the chemical equilibrium assignment expert at HwA I was able to write the assignment with all the relevant research work and also get the accurate solution.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
