Max in problem 1 has $35 a day to spend, and he can spend as much time as he likes on his leisure pursuits. Windsurfing equipment rents for $10 an hour, and snorkeling equipment rents for $5 an hour. 

  

a. Make a table that shows the various combinations of hours spent windsurfing and snorkeling that Max can afford. 

  

b. In your table, add two columns and list Max’s marginal utility per dollar from windsurfing and from snorkeling. 

  

c. How long does Max spend windsurfing and how long does he spend snorkeling to maximize his total utility? 

  

d. If compared to c, Max spent a dollar more on windsurfing and a dollar less on snorkeling, by how much would his total utility change? 

  

e. If compared to e, Max spent a dollar less on windsurfing and a dollar more on snorkeling, by how much would his total utility change? 

  

f. Explain why, if Max equalized the marginal utility per hour from windsurfing and from snorkeling, he would not maximize his utility.
