Microecon

Steve's utility function is U=BC, where B=veggie burgers per week and C=packs of cigarettes per week. Here, MUb=C and MUc=B. What is his marginal rate of substitution if veggie burgers are on the vertical axis and cigarettes are on the horizontal axis? Steve's income is $120, the price of a veggie burger is $2, and that of a pack of cigarettes is $1. How many burgers and how many packs of cigarettes does Steve consume to maximize his utility? When a new tax raises the price of a burger to $3, what is his new optimal bundle?
