litre Price of composite good: Py = $1 per unit Qn. 1 To find Sally’s optimum consumption basket, we need to apply the constrained optimisation process. * Using the tangency condition: MUxMUy=PxPy 110/y = 1.51 y10=1.51 y=15 y=225 * Using the budget constraint: Px(x) + Py(y) = I $1.50(x) + $1(225) = $324 1.5x = 324 – 225 1.5x = 99 X = 66 Therefore, Sally’s optimum consumption basket: x = 66 litres of petrol y = 225 units of composite goods * Sub the values x = 66
