Question

Suppose we provide the consumer with a voucher $v > 0$ for good 1. That is, the consumer can spend an amount of $u$ on top of their income to purchase good 1, but only good 1. Time left 0:35:16 They cannot use the voucher to buy any units of good 2. To buy units of good 2, they can only use their income. Which of the plots below corresponds to the consumer's budget line? Note: the dotted line corresponds to the budget line before the voucher is introduced, and the solid line to the budget line after the voucher is introduced.

Step 1

The budget line for good 1 will shift to the right by an amount proportional to $v/p_1$, where $p_1$ is the price of good 1. The budget line for good 2 remains unchanged because the voucher cannot be used to purchase good 2. Show more…
