A graphic designer who is paid by the hour is currently earning €40 per hour. They are considering a new contract that would pay them €50 per hour. Assuming their available hours for work or leisure remain the same, how does this potential change in pay affect the graphical representation of their budget constraint between free time and consumption?

An individual has a fixed number of hours per day to allocate between free time and work. The income earned from work is used for consumption. If this individual's hourly wage rate increases, what is the direct effect on the budget constraint that illustrates the trade-off between daily free time and daily consumption?

An individual's hourly wage for their job increases from $20 to $25. In a model where this person chooses between hours of free time and total consumption, and assuming free time is plotted on the horizontal axis and consumption on the vertical axis, what is the direct effect of this wage increase on their budget constraint and the opportunity cost of their free time?
