II. A. Mr. Jones has $15,000 per year of "pocket money." He buys 500 packs of cigarettes at $10.00 per pack. Although he is a heavy smoker cigarettes are not necessary for his survival. Show his budget line and his equilibrium position in a diagram utilizing indifference curves. (Measure packages of cigarettes on the horizontal axis and "pocket money" on the vertical axis.) B. The Anti-Tobacco Alliance threatens to win its fight to have smoking prohibited by law. Where would Jones' equilibrium lie if this legislation were passed? Show on the diagram you have drawn the maximum amount Jones would be willing to pay annually to avoid the ban on smoking and explain briefly. (Assume that Jones would still pay $10.00 per pack). Show also the minimum amount the U.S. Smokers Compensation Commission (set up to compensate smokers for the loss of their right to smoke) would have to pay Mr. Jones to compensate him for the loss of his opportunity to smoke
