Suppose Edison has a weekly budget of $24 to spend on oat milk and peanut butter. Oat milk is priced at $2 per quart, and peanut butter is pric $6 per jar. If Edison spends his entire $24 on oat milk, he can buy jars of peanut butter. Use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Edison's budget constraint on the following graph. Next, use the orange point (square symbol) to shade area that represents combinations of oat milk and peanut butter that are affordable for Edison. Finally, place the black point (plus symbol) on th point on Edison's budget constraint that corresponds to a scenario in which Edison spends $12 on each good.

Suppose Edison has a weekly budget of $24 to spend on oat milk and peanut butter. Oat milk is priced at $2 per quart, and peanut butter is priced at
$6 per jar.
If Edison spends his entire $24 on oat milk, he can buy
jars of peanut butter.
Use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Edison's budget constraint on the following graph. Next, use the orange point (square symbol) to shade the
area that represents combinations of oat milk and peanut butter that are affordable for Edison. Finally, place the black point (plus symbol) on the
point on Edison's budget constraint that corresponds to a scenario in which Edison spends $12 on each good.
Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes.
