Question:

a. Draw a budget line for Cameron, who has a monthly income of $100. Assume that he buys steak and potatoes, and that steak costs $10 per pound and potatoes cost $2 per pound. Add an indifference curve for Cameron that is tangent to his budget line at the combination of 5 pounds of steak and 25 pounds of potatoes.

b. Draw a new budget line for Cameron, if his monthly income falls to $80. Assume that potatoes are an inferior good to Cameron. Draw a new indifference curve tangent to his new budget constraint that reflects this inferiority. What will happen to Cameron’s potato consumption? What will happen to his steak consumption?
