Angela's Constrained Choice Problem as an Independent Farmer
An independent farmer, who keeps all the food she produces, is trying to decide how many hours to work. At her current choice of 16 hours of free time and 9 bushels of grain, she determines two things: 1) She would be willing to give up 4 bushels of grain for one more hour of free time. 2) Her production schedule shows that if she works one hour less (gaining one hour of free time), her grain output will fall by only 3 bushels. Based on this information, what should the farmer do to increase her overall satisfaction?
