Post by: stars_and_moon on Jul 20, 2016
The following table shows Kristine's utility from cross-country skiing and rock climbing.  The price of rock climbing is $5 and the price of skiing is $5.  Calculate the combination of rock climbing and skiing that maximizes Kristine's utility if she has $30 to spend.  Calculate the combination of rock climbing and skiing that maximizes Kristine's utility if she has $40 to spend.  How does an increase in income affect Kristine's quantity demanded for rock climbing and for skiing?  In this example, are rock climbing and skiing normal goods?
