From Blueprint to Factory Floor
An individual has an endowment of $500 and can only choose between consuming it now or storing it for consumption in the next period. Assume the stored cash is perfectly secure and prices remain constant. Which statement best analyzes the trade-off this individual faces between consumption now and consumption in the next period?
An individual receives a one-time income of $80. Their only options are to spend it in the current period or store it in a secure box to spend in the next period. Assuming prices remain constant, which of the following consumption plans is not in their feasible set?

Consider an individual with a one-time income who can only choose between consuming it now or storing it as cash for a later period. Assuming the cash is secure and prices are stable, the marginal rate of transformation of current consumption into future consumption is greater than 1.
An individual has a one-time income of $200, which they can either consume now or store securely as cash for consumption in a future period. Prices are stable. On a graph with 'Consumption Now' on the horizontal axis and 'Consumption Later' on the vertical axis, match each graphical component with its correct economic description.
An individual has a one-time income of $150. They can either consume it now or store it securely as cash for consumption in a future period, with no change in prices. For every dollar of consumption they give up now, they gain exactly ____ dollar(s) of consumption in the future.
