Transcribed Image Text:1. An individual's budget
Suppose Darnell has a weekly budget of $32 to spend on ranch dressing and spinach. Ranch dressing is priced at $4 per bottle, and spinach is priced
at $2 per container.
If Darnell spends his entire $32 on ranch dressing, he can buy
16 containers of spinach.
8 bottles of ranch dressing. If he spends his entire $32 on spinach, he can buy
Use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Darnell's budget constraint on the following graph. Next, use the orange point (square symbol) to shade the
area that represents combinations of ranch dressing and spinach that are affordable for Darnell. Finally, place the black point (plus symbol) on the
point on Darnell's budget constraint that corresponds to a scenario in which Darnell spends $16 on each good.
