There are two consumers on the market : Jim and Donna. Jim's utility function is U(x,y)=xy, with associated marginal utility function MUx=y and MUy=x. Donna's utility function is U(x,y)=x^2 y ,and MUx=2xy,MUy=x^2. Income of jim is Ij=100 and income of Donna is Id=150

(a) Find optimal basket of jim and donna when price of y is Py=1, and price of x is P.

(b) On separate graphs plot jim's and donna's demand schedule for x for all value of P.

(c) Compute and plot aggregate demand when jim and donna are the only consumer.
