Table 10-5

Refer to Table 10-5, which lists the values of Harry Taber's marginal utility and marginal utility per dollar for Italian submarine (sub) sandwiches and tacos. Assume that the price of a sub sandwich is $4 and the price of a taco is $2. When Harry's income is $14, he buys two Italian sub sandwiches and three tacos. The last column lists the values of the marginal utility per dollar for tacos when the price of a taco decreases to $1.
