Short Answer/Calculation     The table below shows the consumption choices between two goods: running shoes and running shorts. Assume that you have an income of $300, running shoes cost $150, and running shorts cost $30. Fill in the total utility columns, as well as the marginal utility per dollar (MU/$) columns. Then decide which is the optimal combination of goods based on maximizing your total utility.   In your answer, if the answer is a whole number, no decimal is needed. If the answer has (non-zero) decimals, round to two digits. Example answers: [100; 97.50; 10.35; 500]   [Key: TU: Total Utility; MU: Marginal Utility; MU/$: Marginal utility per dollar] Running Shoes TU MU MU/$ Running Shorts TU MU MU/$ 1 [TU1] 300 [MU1] 1 [TU6] 150 [MU6] 2 [TU2] 50 [MU2] 2 [TU7] 120 [MU7] 3 [TU3] 50 [MU3] 3 [TU8] 90 [MU8] 4 [TU4] 50 [MU4] 4 [TU9] 75 [MU9] 5 [TU5] 50 [MU5] 5 [TU10] 60 [MU10]
