Answer:

Explanation:

(i) No, the consumer cannot afford a bundle of 4X and 5Y.

Given, money income =Rs.24;P X

=Rs.4 and P Y

=Rs.2, if he purchases 4X and 5Y, then

4×4+5×2=26>24

Therefore, he is not able to buy a bundle of 4X and 5Y.

(ii) When the consumer is in equilibrium : MRS XY = P Y / PX

The price ratio indicates that for every additional unit of Good−X, the consumer has to sacrifice 2 units of Good−Y. So that price ratio is 2:1. Accordingly, in a state of equilibrium, the marginal rate of substitution between Good−X and Good−Y must be equal to 2:1.
