Question

(draw graph!!! Draw graph!!! Draw graph!!! Draw graph!!!) The Lump Sum Principle: Suppose that the government subsidizes hous- ing expenditures of low-income families by providing a dollar-for-dollar subsidy to a family’s housing expenditure. The Marschkes qualify for this subsidy and spend a total of $500 per month on housing: they spend $250 of their own and receive a government subsidy of $250. Recently, a new policy has been proposed that would provide each low income family with a lump sum transfer of $250 which can be used for housing or other goods. Using a graph, demonstrate whether the Marschkes would prefer the cur- rent program, the proposed program, or would be indifferent between the two. Please draw clearly.
