PROBLEM 1 Max has the utility function U(x‚ y) = x(y + 1). The price of x is $2 and the price of y is $1. Income is $10. How much x does Max demand? How much y? If his income doubles and prices stay unchanged‚ will Max’s demand for both goods double? To set his MRS equal to the price ratio‚ Max sets (y+1)/x = 2. His budget constraint is 2x + y = 10. Solve these two equations to find that x=11/4 and y=9/2. If his income doubles and prices stay unchanged‚ his demand for both goods does not double

can be calculated either per unit of output or in terms of total contribution of all units produced. Contribution ignores fixed costs and only considers any surplus left once variable costs have been subtracted from revenue. Hence‚ contribution is what a product contributes towards the fixed costs of the business and‚ once these are paid‚ the profits of the business. Managers need to know‚ as accurately as possible‚ the cost of each product or service produced by the firm. One reason for this is
