A consumer has a utility function of the form U(x1, x2) = u(x1) + x2 where good 1 is a discrete good


Question: A consumer has a utility function of the form

U(x1, x2) = u(x1) + x2

where good 1 is a discrete good (say, a car); the only possible levels of consumption of good x1 are x1 = 0 and x1 = 1. Suppose also that u(0) = 0 and p2 is normalized to one.

(a)The consumer will definitely choose x1 = 1 if p1 is strictly less than what?

(b) What is the indirect utility function?
