Question
Suppose that BC1 on the following graph represents your initial budget constraint for good X and good Y, and point A represents the best bundle, given this choice set. After a change in the price of good X, your new budget constraint is now BC2. The compensated budget is parallel to BC2, representing the same tradeoff between good X and good Y, and it is tangent to the given indifference curve (U) at point B.
