Use the image 2.2 below to answer this question. The slope of the indifference curve is given by AY/AX, where Y is the good measured on the vertical axis and X is the good measured on the horizontal axis. The slope gives the marginal rate of substitution (MRS). The slope of an indifference curve (the MRS) also gives: Image 2.2 MUX a) MUY MUY b) MUX MUX c) Px MUX d) PY Py e) Рх

Consider two commodities: toy cars and batteries. Each toy car takes three batteries to operate. Suppose Andy enjoys a toy car only if it moves and Andy has no other toy that needs battery. That is, one toy car and three batteries are a set of perfect complements to Andy. Task 1: Let x1 >= 0 be the quantity of toy cars and x2 >= 0 be the quantity of batteries. FindafunctionU(x1, x2)thatrepresentsthispreference. Task 2: Draw Andy's indifference curves going through bundles (2, 3), (4, 3) and (5, 5) in the commodity space in the same graph.
