Crefull sketch the udget line c. If Dorcs discovers tht sustituting two () tins of ilo for three () will not chnge her level of stisfction, wht must e the lowest price of ook efore she will sustitute ilo for ooks given tht the price of ilo remins t $ rice of ilo, m $ rice of red, $8 Income from shoes (s) = 0 pirs of shoes multiplied $0=$00 Income from Jens (j)=0 pirs of Jens multiplied $0 = $800 Totl income () =00+800=$00 () udget line m Dorcs udget = ilo +8 ooks = () udget Eqution (ilo in terms of red) Alterntivel, () udget Eqution (red in terms of ilo) Compiled : enedict Afful Jr. 006 skiuk@hoo.com ge

To find the eqution of the 0 unit Isoqunt, we solve this eqution for K in terms of L K 00.This is the eqution of the 0 unit Isoqunt.
