Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

No, she is not maximizing utility. She should be consuming such that the marginal utility per dollar spent on movies is equal to the marginal utility per dollar spent on books. In this case, the marginal utility per dollar spent on movies is higher. Therefore, she should increase her consumption of movies and lower her consumption of books.
