Problem: Brian is grabbing beer for his party tonight. He can choose PBR (P) AND Natural Light ( N). Brian has $160 to spend, PBR IS $0.8 a can and Natural Light is $0.5. For Brian, PBR and Natural Light are the same thing. ( He has no preference of one over the other). His utility is therefor:
U(P,N) = P+N
Required:
Question 1: What is Brian's best feasible bundle?
Question 2: Holding constant the price of Natural Light, what will be the new optimal bundle if the price of PBR is now half off per can?
Question 3: If the price of PBR and Natural Light double, What's Brian's best feasible bundle?
