1. If Px= $10, and Py= $20, and consumer's income = $120, find the optimal combination of good X and good Y that will maximize the consumer’s utility.

2. What is the total utility of that combination?

3. If the consumer’s income increases to $150, and prices of goods X and Y are unchanged: a. Find the new optimal quantity of good X and good Y that will maximize the consumer’s utility. b. Calculate the income elasticity of demand for good X, and for good Y, for an income increase from $120 to $150. What can you conclude?
