Determine the value of the marginal utilities, when x, = 138 and x, = 500. Hence estimate the change in utility if the individual works for an extra hour, which increases earned income by GH¢15 per week. Does the law of diminishing utility hold for this function?2.

(Think about the total utility calculations.). Why or Why not?Question 1 Consider a person with the utility function U (C, L) = (1 − α) log C + α log L, where L is leisure time and C is consumption of other goods measured in dollars.

She therefore decides to spend six hours each day studying (in addition to her eight hours of sleep). How will she now divide the remaining hours between work and leisure?! hours working and hours leisure. Help Save C
- EXERCISE 7 Aisha is considering how to allocate the next 6 hours of her free time. She could choose between leisure (L) and helping her neighbour with the house chores. If she decides to help her neighbour, she is going to get paid at £25 per hour, which she can then spend on her favourite pizza (P). Suppose the price of pizza is £12.50. Aisha's preferences for leisure and pizza are given by the following utility function: U(L, P) = 3L + P. (MU₁ = 3, MUp = 1). a) Write down Aisha's budget equation and draw the corresponding budget line. Clearly label the axes and calculate the coordinates of the points of intersection of the budget line with each axis. b) Calculate Aisha's marginal rate of substitution between leisure and pizza. Explain the concept of MRS and interpret the figure obtained. c) Find Aisha's optimal consumption bundle, both algebraically and graphically.
