2. Suppose that Person B has 16 hours a day available to work for pay or do unpaid activities. This person's wage rate is $10/hr. Person B obtains the highest level of utility by working 5 hours/day (remotely). Today, Person B was told that she will begin receiving $20/day in unearned income, say from interest on a savings account.

a. (5 points) Draw a fully-labeled graph to illustrate the shape of indifference curves that could lead Person B to quit working upon receiving the $20/day of unearned income. Explain what kind of real-life circumstances might be such that the person would be better off by quitting work.

b. (5 points) On the same graph above, illustrate Person B's reservation wage after receiving the unearned income. There is not a numerical value that you can calculate for this question, just draw what is needed on the graph and describe in words how the reservation wage is determined and what the reservation wage represents.

c. (10 points) On a second, fully-labeled graph illustrate a case where Person B will continue to work after receiving the unearned income. Do they work more or less than they were before? Explain.
