Example

Julia's Maximum Present Consumption at a 78% Interest Rate (56, 0)

When the interest rate is 78%, Julia's maximum possible present consumption is $56. This is because if she borrows $56, the interest owed would be $44, and the total repayment of $100 ($56 principal + $44 interest) would exhaust her entire future income. This choice is represented by the point (56, 0) on her feasible frontier, leaving no funds for future consumption.
