His utility function is given by U = m2+2c2, where MUm=2m and MUc=4c. (Each following subquestion is worth 3 points) 1. Write an equation for MRSmc. 2. Would bundles of (m=4 and c=1) and (m=0 and c=3) be on the same indifference curve? How do you identify your answer? 3. Write an equation for Michael's budget constraint (e.g., Income = Pmm + Pcc) 4. Assuming he spends the entire $270, how many music downloads does Michael purchase if he chooses to purchase 20 concert tickets? 5. What is the optimal number of m and c for Michael to purchase?
