Jacob buys only milk and cookies.
a. In year 1, Jacob earns $100, milk costs $2 per quart, and cookies cost S4 per dozen. Draw Jacob's budget constraint.
b. Now suppose that all prices increase by 10 percent in year 2 and that Jacob's salary increases by 10 percent as well. Draw Jacob's new budget constraint. How would Jacob's optimal combination of milk and cookies in year 2 compare to his optimal combination in year 1?
