Principles of Microeconomics
... It might seem that a firm that can sell as many output as it wishes at a constant market price would always do best in the short run by producing and selling the output level for which price equals marginal cost. But there is an exception to this rule. ...

Answers to Homework #4
... it tangent to the initial indifference curve (IC1), we get the tangent point C. Point C (Xc, Yc) has the same utility level as point A, which means Xc*Yc = 18. Also we know point C is Jack’s optimal consumption choice given BL3, so we have the following equation: MUx(Xc, Yc)/MUy(Xc, Yc) = Yc/Xc = Px ...
