  1. A. A consumer has $360. Good X costs $4 each. Good Y costs $8 each. Draw the budget line. Label it “budget line A.” Preferences are perfect complements: utility = min{X,Y}. Both X and Y are normal goods. Numerically solve the consumer’s budget choice. Label it on the diagram, including the indifference curve, and all solved numbers.

B. A consumer has $400. Good X costs $6 each. Good Y costs $7 each. Draw a new budget line, on a new graph. Label it “budget line B.” Once again, preferences are perfect complements: utility = min{X,Y}. Both are normal goods. Numerically solve the consumer’s budget choice.
