Indifference curves and utility maximization AaAa Tim is in a band and likes to advertise upcoming shows using flyers he posts around the city. Making one black-and-white flyer costs $0.02, and making a flyer in color costs $0.10. Tim budgets $40 for making flyers each month The following graph shows three of Tim's indifference curves for the number of black-and-white and color flyers that he makes Use the purple line (diamond symbols) to plot Tim's budget line. Then place the black point (X symbol) on the graph to indicate Tim's consumer equilibrium (that is, his optimal consumption choice) given that budget line. Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes. BLACK-AND-WHITE FLYERS 2500 2250 2000 1750 1500 1250 1000 750 500 250 Budget Line Cons.

Explanation / Answer

Budget constraint:

0.02x + .10y = 40

if y=0, then x = 2000

if x=0 then y = 400

Therefore, consumer equilibrium is at x=1000 and y=200

MRS: change in y/change in x = (1000-750)/ (200-250) = -5
