Question 16

Essay

A consumer has a budget constraint given by p0x1^+p1x1+p2x2yp_{0} \widehat{x_{1}}+p_{1} x_{1}+p_{2} x_{2} \leq y where p0=5,p1=0p_{0}=5, p_{1}=0 , y=20,p2=1y=20, p_{2}=1 . x1^=1\widehat{x_{1}}=1 if positive amounts of x1x_{1} are purchased and 0 otherwise. If the consumer has a utility function given by U(x1,x2)=(x113)2+x2U\left(x_{1}, x_{2}\right)=\left(x_{1}-13\right)^{2}+x_{2} , then how much of x1x_{1} does the consumer purchase?
