4. Indifference Curve and Budget Line (20%)
Annie has an income of $160 an hour. Popcorn costs $5 a bag, and costs $4 a six-pack of
energy drink
a. Draw a graph of Annie’s budget line with six-pack of energy drink on the x-
axis, and popcorn on the y-axis. (4%)
b. What is the slope of Annie's budget line (2%)? What could this slope be also
called? (2%)
c. If we know that Annie maximizes her utility with the purchase of 20 bags of
popcorn, how many six-pack energy drink she will purchase?-(an estimate
from your graph & actual calculation) (5%), draw an indifference curve
reflecting this optimum. (5%)
