question 48

Multiple Choice

The consumer's demand curve can be obtained analytically by solving which two equations?

• A) \(M U _ { x } / M U _ { y } = P _ { x } / P _ { y }\) ;\(U = \bar { U }\) where\(\bar { U }\) is the initial level of utility.
• B) \(M U _ { x } / M U _ { y } = P _ { x } / P _ { y }\) ;\(P _ { x } X + P _ { y } Y = I\)
• C) \(P _ { x } X + P _ { y } Y = I\) ;\(U = \bar { U }\) where\(\bar { U }\) is the initial level of utility.
• D) \(M U _ { x } / M U _ { y } = P _ { x } / P _ { y }\) ;\(U = \bar { U }\) where\(\bar { U }\) is the final level of utility.
