Alice's consumption leisure tradeoff [15%] Alice is a worker-consumer, she chooses how many hours per week to work in a job that pays a constant wage of 20 per hour. Her job is her only source of income for consummion. Alice's indifference curves and budget constraint are represented in Fjggre 1. a. What is the slope of Alice's budget constraint? Give its interpretation as a marginal rate of transformation. b. Find Alice's optimal choice of free time, consumption, and hours worked. c. Suppose Alice's wage rate drops from w = 20 down to w = 7.66. Find Alice's new optimal choice of free time and consumption. d. Decompose the overall effect of the wage drop into a substitution effect and an income effect. e. How does the income effect change Alice's choice? Give the interpretation of the income effect. f. How does the substitution effect change Alice's choice? Give the interpretation of the substitution effect
