Luke only consumes strawberries (S) and turnips (T) each week with his $36 income. The price ofstrawberries is Ps = $3/basket, while the price of turnips is Pt = $1.50/turnip. Luke’s preferences are given by the following utility function:
U(S,T) = SquareRoot(ST)
(a) Set up the Lagrangian equation for this constrained maximization problem.
(b) What are the 3 first order conditions (FOC) of optimization from the Lagrangian?
(c) Find Luke’s optimal consumption bundle of strawberries and turnips.
