Consider two individuals A and B, both of whom have preferences defined over two goods x and y: U(x, y) = -1/2(1-x)^2 - 1/2 (1-y)^2

Assume that Px = Py = 1.

a. Suppose that individual A has an income of $2 and individual B has an income of $0.50. Set up and solve both (UMP]s. What is each individual's optimal consumption bundle?
b. Compare the marginal utilities of each good between individuals A and B at the optimal bundle. Is either individual satiated? What implications does this have for their marginal utilities of income? Explain.
