5.2 The rational spending rule requires MUF/PF = MUS/PS where MUF and MUS are Juans marginal utilities

Question:

5.2 The rational spending rule requires MUF/PF = MUS/PS where MUF and MUS are Juan’s marginal utilities from food and shelter and PF and PS are the prices of food and shelter, respectively. At Juan’s original combination, MUF/PF = 4 utils per dollar and MUS/PS = 3 utils per dollar. Juan should thus spend more of his income on food and less on shelter. (LO3)
