The price per unit of consumption is p, and his available free time is T hours Let's think about Ivan's "time expansion path" (that is, the analog of the income expansion path a.k.a. income-consumption loci but for changes in T). Sketch it and explain why it has this shape. with reference to Ivan's demand functions
