Suppose that Ken cares only about bathing suits (B) and flip-flops (F). His utility function is U = B0.8F0.2. The price of bathing suits is $30, and the price of flip-flops is $2. Ken has a budget of $150.
a. What Lagrangian equation can be used to solve Ken's utility maximization problem?
b. Derive the first-order conditions for the maximization problem.
c. What is the solution to Ken's maximization problem?

Standard Error
A statistical measure that represents the accuracy with which a sample distribution represents a population using the standard deviation.
P-value
The odds of getting results from a test that are as extreme as or exceed the extremity of the observed results, on the assumption that the null hypothesis is in effect.
