Q1. Megan used to work at the local pizzeria for $15,000 per year but quit in order to start her own deli. To buy the necessary equipment, she withdrew $20,000 from her inheritance, (which paid 8 percent interest). Last year she paid $25,000 for ingredients and $500 per month rent but had revenue of $50,000. She asked her dad the accountant and her mom the economist to calculate her profit for her.
Q2. Joe has $16 to spend on Twinkies and Hohos. Twinkies are prices at $1 and Hohos are priced at $2 per pack. How can Joe maximize his utility?
