- Ann and Bob consume clothes (C) and food (F) only. Ann's utility function is U (C, F) = aA ln C +bA ln F, and Bob's utility function is U (C, F) = aB ln C + bB ln F. aA ,bA , aB ,bB > 0 . The price of clothes is PC, and the price of food is PF. Ann and Bob must have the same marginal rates of substitution (MRS) of clothes for food at the optimal level of consumption.
