Lainey has 80 hours per week that she can devote to time spent working or on leisure activities. Assume that Lainey is paid by the hour, and that her
job will always allow her to work as many hours as she chooses.
The following graph presents Lainey's weekly leisure-Income tradeoff. The three lines labeled BC₁, BC₂, and BC, show her time allocation budget at
three different hourly wage levels. The given points A, B, and C represent her optimal time allocation choices along each of these constraints.
