Question #12 In Textbook Chapter Four

The U.S. government spends over $74 billion on its Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to provide millions of Americans with the means to purchase food. Beneficiaries use an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card to transfer their government benefits from a Federal account to a retailer account.The funds on an EBT card cannot be sold for cash or used to purchase non-food items. The average SNAP benefit is about $284 per month. Suppose that, in the absence of SNAP, the average consumer must divide $600 in monthly income between food and "all other goods" such that the following budget constraint holds: $600 = $12A + $4F, where A is the quantity of "all other goods" and F is the quantity of food purchased. Using the graph below, draw the consumer's budget line in the absence of SNAP. On the same graph, show the budget line with SNAP.

What is the market rate of substitution between food and "all other goods" for the budget line without SNAP?

a.Show an illustration of the average consumer's budget line, in the absence of SNAP (Food Stamp Program), From the textbook question #12). Clearly show steps and calculations.
