Constructing a Choice Model Graph
An economist wants to create a visual model of an individual's daily trade-offs. The model needs to show all possible combinations of two specific goods: 'daily free time' and 'daily consumption'. Describe how you would set up a two-dimensional graph for this purpose. Your description should explain what each axis would represent, what a single point on the graph signifies, and why defining specific numerical ranges for each axis is important for the model's context.

Example Points on Karim's Preference Map
A person's daily options are visualized on a graph. The horizontal axis represents hours of free time, and the vertical axis represents consumption in euros. This person always prefers a combination with more free time if the level of consumption is the same. Given two available combinations, Bundle A (17 hours, €400) and Bundle B (19 hours, €400), which statement correctly analyzes the person's preference?
Interpreting a Bundle on a Choice Graph
An economic model visualizes a person's daily choices on a two-dimensional graph. The horizontal axis represents hours of free time, with a possible range from 8 to 24 hours. The vertical axis represents daily consumption in euros, with a possible range from 0 to 600 euros. Which of the following combinations of (free time, consumption) represents a bundle that is impossible to plot within the defined boundaries of this graph?
Calculating a New Position on a Choice Map
A person's daily choices are represented on a graph where the horizontal axis is free time and the vertical axis is consumption. This person always prefers more free time if their consumption level does not change. Based only on this information, it is true that the bundle (18 hours, €500) is preferred to the bundle (16 hours, €450).
Analyzing Preference Bundles
An economic model is used to visualize a person's daily choices between two goods on a two-dimensional graph. The person is assumed to always prefer more of the good on the horizontal axis if the amount of the good on the vertical axis remains constant. Match each graphical component to its correct economic interpretation.
Constructing a Choice Model Graph
A person's daily choices are modeled on a graph where the horizontal axis represents hours of free time and the vertical axis represents consumption in euros. If this person works for 9 hours a day and earns €20 per hour, spending all their earnings on daily consumption, their situation is represented by the coordinate pair (free time, consumption) of ____. (Assume a 24-hour day).
A person's daily choices are visualized on a graph with free time on the horizontal axis and consumption on the vertical axis. This person always prefers a combination with more of one good, as long as the amount of the other good is not less. Based on this rule, arrange the following consumption bundles from least preferred to most preferred.
