Suppose that the price of a rental car (Prc) is $50 while the price of a flight (Pfl) is $85. Also, suppose that the marginal utility of a rental car (MUrc) is 20 utils while the marginal utility of flying (MUfl) is 30 utils. What is the best advice for this consumer?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Consumers should choose to take the flight.

Explanation:

The price of a rental car = $50

Marginal utility from the car = 20 utils

Now find the per dollar utility from car = $50 / 20 = 2.5

The price of a flight = $85

Marginal utility from the flight = 30 utils

Now find the per dollar utility from flight = $85 / 30 = 2.83

Since the per dollar, MU is greater in the case of flight so consumers should choose to take the flight.
