oe and Curly both face the same budget line for consumption and leisure. At every possible consumption-leisure bundle on the budget line, Curly always requires marginally more leisure than does Moe in order to be equally happy when asked to forego a dollar of consumption. Using a standard budget line, graph the indifference curves for Moe and Curly that shows the optimal consumption-leisure bundle for both people. Which person optimally chooses more consumption? Which feature of indifference curves guarantees this result?
