A consumer buys Bread (B) and Milk (M) each week at prices of Rs. 10 and Rs. 8 respectively. Suppose that the consumer's current consumption of Bread and Milk is giving him MUBrend = 80 and MUMia = 70. Is the consumer buying the utility-maximizing combination of bread and milk? If not, how should he reallocate his expenditures between the two goods to maximize utility? Draw diagram and explain.
