Question: #16) Julio receives utility from consuming food (f) and clothing (c) as given by the utility function \(u\left( f,c \right)=fc\). In addition the price of food is $2 per unit, the price of clothing is $10 per unit, and Julio's weekly income is $50.

a. What is Julio’s marginal rate of substitution of food for clothing when the utility is maximized? Explain.

b. Suppose instead of Julio consuming a bundle with more food and less clothing than his utility maximizing bundle. Would his marginal rate of substitution of food for clothing be greater than or less than your answer for part a? Explain.
