U(B,Z)=AB^(1/α) Z^(1/β), where A, α and β are constants, B is burritos, and Z is pizzas. If the price of burritos, Pb is 10 and the price of pizzas, Pz, is N$5, and Y is N$1790, what is John’s optimal bundle

U(B,Z)=AB^(1/α) Z^(1/β), where A, α and β are constants, B is burritos, and Z is pizzas. If the price of burritos, Pb is 10 and the price of pizzas, Pz, is N$5, and Y is N$1790, then John’s optimal bundle is at: MUb/Pb = MUz/Pz and Pb*B + Pz*Z = Y, MUb = U'(B) = A*(1/α)*B^(1 - 1/α)*Z^(1/β) MUz = U'(Z) = A*(1/β)*Z^(1 - 1/β)*B^(1/α) 10B + 5Z = 1790.
