Answer to Question 1

False

Answer to Question 2

a. She will buy the Mitsubishi, because its marginal-utility-to-price ratio, 4.397, is higher than the marginal-utility-price ratio for the BMW (4.03).
b. If the price of the BMW falls to 34,114.17 = 160,000 / 4.397, she will be indifferent between the two. If the price of the BMW falls to 34,114.16, she will buy the BMW.
