Infeasibility of Point C in Karim's Choice
Point C, which represents a bundle of 12 hours of free time and consumption of €450, serves as a specific example of an infeasible choice. This combination is unattainable because with 12 hours of free time, Karim can only work for the remaining 12 hours of the day. Given his wage of €30 per hour, his maximum earnings would be €360. This income is insufficient to afford the desired €450 of consumption.
