Six (6) pounds of potatoes. 1. Is it the utility-maximizing combination, yes, or not? 2. Demonstrate and explain your answer #1 based on the two (2) consumer equilibrium conditions to maximize utility: a) consumer's budget is totally exhausted through this combination, b) marginal utility per dollar (last dollar spent on each good yields the same marginal utility). Use formulas, do the math, and indicate the units of measurement. Answers must be separated and indicating the question's number
