In Table 7.1, suppose the marginal utility numbers for books change: for each quantity of books, the marginal utility is 6 utils higher. For example, for 24 books, the marginal utility is 8 utils instead of 2 utils, and for 21 books, the marginal utility is 10 utils instead of 4 utils. Determine the new utility-maximizing bundle.
