The table below show the marginal utility, measured in utils, that Ricardo would get by purchasing various amounts of products A, B, C, and D. Column 5 shows the marginal utility Ricardo gets from saving. Assume that the prices of A, B, C, and D are, respectively, $18, $6, $4, and $24 and that Ricardo has a budget of $106.

Refer the attached image
Therefore, number of units of A = 4, B = 3 units, C = 3 units, D = 0, zero unit and Dollar saved = 4.
4 × 18+ 3 × 6 + 3 × 4 + 0 × 24 + 4 = 72 + 18 + 12 + 0 + 4 = $ 106.
