You are not maximizing utility, because the marginal utility per dollar spent renting movies is not equal to the marginal utility per dollar spent on CDs. We will maximizing utility when the consumers decide to allocate their money incomes so that the last dollar spent on each product purchased yields the same amount of extra marginal utility.
