Simon's utility function is U = B¹/32/3 where B, C represent the number of tea bags and strawberry cheesecakes respectively that he consumes. Marginal utility for good B and Cis: MUB=B-2/3C2/3, MUC=B1/BC-1/3, (a) Write down Simon's budget constraint if tea bag cost PB per unit and strawberry cheesecake costs Pc per unit. Solve Simon's demand functions for B and C given prices PB, Pc and income m. (You should find the demand function, which relates the quantity A 3 demanded to the prices and income.
