Suppose Kate has a weekly budget of $24 to spend on seltzer water and peanut butter. Seltzer water is priced at $2 per case, and peanut butter is priced at $6 per jar. If Kate spends her entire $24 on seltzer water, she can buy jars of peanut butter. Use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Kate's budget constraint on the following graph. Next, use the orange point (square symbol) to shade the area that represents combinations of seltzer water and peanut butter that are affordable for Kate. Finally, place the black point (plus symbol) on the point on Kate's budget constraint that corresponds to a scenario in which Kate spends $12 on each good. Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes. PEANUT BUTTER (Jars) 24 22 20 18 16 14 10 4 2 0 0 + 2 + 6 8 10 12 14 16 SELTZER WATER (Cases) 18 cases of seltzer water.
