An individual's preferences for combinations of daily free time and daily consumption are represented on a standard preference map where having more of either good is always preferred. An indifference curve, IC1, passes through Point X (16 hours of free time, $70 consumption). Match each of the following points to the statement that correctly describes its relationship to Point X.

An individual's preferences are represented on a graph with daily free time on the horizontal axis and daily consumption on the vertical axis. Assume this individual always prefers more free time to less, holding consumption constant. If Point A represents 15 hours of free time and $100 of consumption, which of the following points is definitively preferred to Point A based only on this principle?

An individual's preferences are modeled on a graph where more free time is always preferred to less, holding consumption constant. Given this, the individual would be indifferent between a bundle of 18 hours of free time and $100 of consumption, and a bundle of 17 hours of free time and $100 of consumption.

Job Offer Choice Based on Free Time

An individual's preferences are modeled on a graph with daily free time on the horizontal axis and daily consumption on the vertical axis. A core assumption is that, holding consumption constant, this individual always prefers more free time to less. If Point A represents a specific combination of free time and consumption, which other point is guaranteed to be preferred to Point A, based solely on this assumption?

An individual's preferences are modeled with daily free time on one axis and daily consumption on the other. A core assumption is that, holding consumption constant, more free time is always preferred. Consider an initial situation represented by Point A: 17 hours of free time and $120 of consumption. For which of the following points can a preference ranking relative to Point A not be determined using only the stated assumption?

An individual's preferences are represented on a graph with daily free time on the horizontal axis and daily consumption on the vertical axis. A single combination of these two goods is marked as Point A. We are given only one piece of information about this individual's preferences: holding the level of consumption constant, they will always prefer a combination with more free time. Based solely on this information, which of the following describes the set of all points that are unambiguously preferred to Point A?
