Transcribed Image Text:True or False: The opportunity cost of an additional bag of bird seed, in terms of other consumption goods, decreases once you have bought more than 4
bags of bird seed relative to if you had bought less than 4 bags.
True
False
Which of the following bundles of goods are affordable? Check all that apply.
4 bags of bird seed and $20 spent on other consumption goods
8 bags of bird seed and $20 spent on other consumption goods
2 bags of bird seed and $40 spent on other consumption goods

Transcribed Image Text:12. Kinked budget constraints
Suppose that your family has just decided to adopt a parakeet named Daisy. You have a monthly budget of $50 that you can choose to spend on either
bird seed or other consumption goods. Assume the price of a bag of bird seed is $5 for the first 4 bags, but then it drops to only $3 per bag for each
additional bag. All other consumption goods will be treated as a composite good, so you can think of this as simply the cash left over to spend on other
items after buying bird seed.
On the following graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to graph your family's budget constraint. Remember to plot from left to right. Line segments
will automatically connect the points.
