On their weekly visits to a local restaurant, Bram and Mila usually buy one slice of appeltaart (Dutch apple pie) to share and two cups of coffee each. However, the restaurant offers a special discount for the month of April to celebrate Koningsdag (King's Day): buy one slice of appeltaart and get the next at half-price.

Constrained Consumer Choice
Darius buys only milk and cookies. a. In year 1 dollar Darius earns 100 dollar milk costs 2 dollar per quart, and cookies cost 4 dollar per dozen. Draw Darius's budget constraint. b. Now suppose that all prices increase by 10 percent in year 2 and that Darius's salary increases by 10 percent as well. Draw Darius's new budget constraint. How would Darius's optimal combination of milk and cookies in year 2 compare to his optimal combination in year $1 ?$
