Danny has 40 hours per week to allocate to work and leisure. He is currently paid an hourly wage of $20 for any hours worked. The figure below illustrates Danny's budget constraint (BCo). His preferences are reflected in the indifference curve (ICo). Consider instead the situation where his employer pays him $40 for the first 10 hours worked per week, $30 for the next 10 hours (10-20 hours) and $20 for any hours beyond 20 hours. This is shown in the blue budget constraint, BC, , in the figure below. Given Danny's preferences, which of the following statements is correct in this new situation (compared to his current situation)? BC BC IC YN Loa40 L 40 20 10 0 -h Danny is likely to work more hours. O Danny is likely to earn and consume more overall. O None of the answers in this list apply. Danny is likely to keep working the same number of hours. Danny will be worse off: he will achieve a lower level of utility. The substitution effect is the main driver of the impact on hours worked. O The income effect is the main driver of the impact on hours worked.
