Refer to Figure 18.7 below. The intercept point N is actually found by I 1 + I 0 (1 + r). The intercept point M is calculated by I 0 + I 1 /(1 + r). Show that the slope of the budget constraint is indeed 1-r| .
At 35 hours worked, total consumption is $10 * (35) = $350. At a wage of $8.50 and 35 hours,
total consumption becomes 8.50 * (40) = $340.
