You have six hours to study for two exams tomorrow. The following table shows the relationship between hours of study and test scores:
Psychology Economics Hours Score Hours Score 54 54 62 60 2 69 65 3 75 69 80 4 72 5 84 74 87 75

a. Use the rule for determining optimal purchases to decide how many hours you should study each subject. Treat each point on an exam as 1 unit of utility and assume that you consider an extra point on an economics exam to have the same value as an extra point on a psychology exam.
b. Now suppose that you are a psychology major and that you value each point you earn on a psychology exam as being worth three times as much as each point you earn on an economics exam. Now how many hours should you study each subject?
