Eliza is a seven year old who loves chocolate and is neutral about any other food (ie. she gains no utility from consuming anyther other than chocolate). Suppose chocolate costs $1 and Eliza’s mother gives her $5 to spend on any food she wants at the grocery store. Let chocolate be good 1, and good 2 be a ‘numeraire good’ of $1 spent on any other good. Show using indifference mapping how much chocolate Eliza will consume.
