Utility Maximization Steps MPP 801 Fall‚ 2007 The MRS and the Cobb-Douglas Consider a two-good world‚ x and y. Our consumer‚ Skippy‚ wishes to maximize utility‚ denoted U (x‚ y). Her problem is then to Maximize: U = U (x‚ y) subject to the constraint B = p x x + py y Unless there is a Corner Solution‚ the solution will occur where the highest indifference curve is tangent to the budget constraint. Equivalent to that is the statement: The Marginal Rate of Substitution equals the price ratio‚ or px
