Non-Labor Income Expands the Feasible Set
An individual's budget constraint illustrates the maximum amount of goods they can consume for each level of free time they choose. Suppose a person's income comes solely from an hourly wage. If this person then receives a one-time, unconditional cash gift, how will their budget constraint be affected?
Budget Constraint Shift from a Cash Gift
Modeling a Cash Gift on the Budget Constraint
A student who works an hourly job receives a one-time, unconditional cash gift. This event increases the student's total potential income and also increases the amount of consumption they must give up for each additional hour of free time they take.

An individual's budget constraint illustrates the trade-offs between consumption and free time, based on an hourly wage. The initial constraint is a downward-sloping line. If this individual receives a fixed, unconditional cash gift, how does their budget constraint change?

An individual's budget constraint shows the trade-off between consumption and free time, given their hourly wage. Match each of the following economic events to its corresponding effect on the budget constraint.
An individual's budget constraint is represented by a downward-sloping line on a graph with 'Daily Consumption ($)' on the y-axis and 'Hours of Free Time' on the x-axis. The slope of this line represents the hourly wage. If this individual receives a one-time, unconditional cash gift, which of the following graphical changes correctly illustrates the effect on their budget constraint?
