8. Problems and Applications Q8 Consider your decision about how many hours to work. The following graph shows your budget constraint assuming that you pay no taxes on your income. On the following graph, show the effect of a 15 percent income tax on your budget constraint. Deborah is awake for 100 hours per week. Use the green line (triangle symbol) to draw Deborah's budget constraint if she earns $12 per hour. Then use the blue line (circle symbol) to draw her budget constraint if she earns $16 per hour. Finally, use the purple line (diamond symbol) to draw her budget constraint if she earns $20 per hour.
