Respuesta :

Answer:

3 and 46.67 units

Explanation:

The formula and the computations are shown below:

The price of good B is

= {The price of good Z (Pz)} ÷ {Marginal rate of transformation}

= {$6} ÷ {2}

= 3

Now the number of units to be purchased for all income used is

= (Monthly income spent on two goods) ÷ (price of good B)

= ($140) ÷ (3)

= 46.67 units

By applying the above formula we can find out the price of good B and the number of units purchased
