Example Points on Karim's Preference Map
To illustrate how bundles are represented on Karim's preference map, consider two specific points. Point A, with coordinates (15, 540), represents a combination of 15 hours of free time and €540 in consumption. Point B, at (13, 540), represents 13 hours of free time with the same €540 consumption level.

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.

Learn After
On a graph where the horizontal axis represents daily free time (in hours) and the vertical axis represents daily consumption (in euros), consider two points: Point X at (16, 300) and Point Y at (16, 450). What is the relationship between the bundles of goods represented by these two points?
Interpreting a Point on a Graph
On a graph where the horizontal axis represents daily hours of free time and the vertical axis represents daily consumption in dollars, the bundle represented by the point (14, 300) contains less free time but more consumption than the bundle represented by the point (16, 250).
On a graph where the horizontal axis represents daily free time in hours and the vertical axis represents daily consumption in euros, an individual is currently at a point corresponding to 18 hours of free time and €200 of consumption. Which of the following points represents a new situation where this individual has traded 3 hours of free time for an additional €150 of consumption?
On a preference map, the horizontal axis measures daily free time in hours and the vertical axis measures daily consumption in euros. Match each description of a bundle to its correct coordinate point, using the bundle at point (17, 400) as a reference.

Calculating a Consumption Bundle
On a graph where the horizontal axis represents daily free time in hours and the vertical axis represents daily consumption in euros, the point (19, 350) represents a bundle containing 19 hours of free time and ____ euros of consumption.
On a graph where the horizontal axis represents daily free time (in hours) and the vertical axis represents daily consumption (in euros), an individual's current situation is represented by Point Z at (16, 350). Assuming the individual prefers more of both free time and consumption, which of the following points represents a bundle of goods that is unambiguously worse than the bundle at Point Z?
On a graph where the horizontal axis represents daily free time (in hours) and the vertical axis represents daily consumption (in euros), you are given four different bundles of goods. Arrange these bundles in order from the one with the most hours of free time to the one with the fewest hours of free time.
On a graph where the horizontal axis represents daily free time in hours and the vertical axis represents daily consumption in euros, an individual is currently at a point corresponding to 18 hours of free time and €200 of consumption. Which of the following points represents a new situation where this individual has traded 3 hours of free time for an additional €150 of consumption?
