To derive the Marginal Rate of Substitution (MRS) from the utility function u(t, c) = (t-6)²(c-45), where 't' is free time and 'c' is consumption, a specific sequence of calculus-based steps must be followed. Arrange the following steps in the correct logical order.

Calculus-Based MRS Calculation at Point A
An individual's preferences for daily hours of free time (t) and consumption (c) are represented by the utility function u(t, c) = (t-6)²(c-45). At a point where the individual has 16 hours of free time and a consumption level of 95, what is the value of their marginal rate of substitution (the rate at which they are willing to trade consumption for an additional hour of free time)?

Analyzing a Flawed MRS Calculation
Consider an individual whose preferences for daily hours of free time (t) and consumption (c) are represented by the utility function u(t, c) = (t-6)²(c-45). True or False: According to this model, the more free time this individual has, the less consumption they are willing to sacrifice for an additional hour of free time, assuming their consumption level is held constant.
