Since 1979, low-income recipients have been given food stamps without charge. However, before 1979, people bought food stamps at a subsidized rate. For example, to get $1 worth of food stamps, a household paid about 40¢ (the exact amount varied by household characteristics and other factors). What is the budget constraint facing an individual if that individual may buy up to $100 per month in food stamps at 40¢ per each $1 coupon? Compare this constraint to the original budget constraint with no assistance and the budget constraint if the individual receives $100 of food stamps for free. Assume the individual has income of $120 per month. 1.) Using the multipoint curved line drawing tool, graph the budget constraint facing this food stamp recipient with subsidized food stamps. Label this line 'L₁'. 2.) Using the line drawing tool, graph the budget constraint with no food stamp assistance. Label this line 'L₂.' 3.) Using the multipoint curved line drawing tool, graph the budget constraint with $100 in free food stamps. Label this line 'L3.' Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects.

Transcribed Image Text:Since 1979, low-income recipients have been given food
stamps without charge. However, before 1979, people
bought food stamps at a subsidized rate. For example, to
get $1 worth of food stamps, a household paid about 40¢
(the exact amount varied by household characteristics and
other factors). What is the budget constraint facing an
individual if that individual may buy up to $100 per month in
food stamps at 40¢ per each $1 coupon? Compare this
constraint to the original budget constraint with no
assistance and the budget constraint if the individual
receives $100 of food stamps for free.
Assume the individual has income of $120 per month.
1.) Using the multipoint curved line drawing tool, graph the
budget constraint facing this food stamp recipient with
subsidized food stamps. Label this line 'L₁'.
2.) Using the line drawing tool, graph the budget constraint
with no food stamp assistance. Label this line 'L2.'
3.) Using the multipoint curved line drawing tool, graph the
budget constraint with $100 in free food stamps. Label this
line 'L3.
Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the
required objects.
