The Student's MRT and Opportunity Cost at a $90 Daily Wage
For the student with a $90 daily wage, the marginal rate at which they can transform free time into consumption (MRT) is constant and equal to their wage. This means the opportunity cost of taking one additional day of free time is always $90 in forgone consumption.

Generalized Budget Constraint for the Student's Summer Break
A student has a 70-day summer break and can earn $90 per day at a summer job. The student's total earnings are used for consumption. If the student is suddenly offered a new job that pays $110 per day instead, how does this change the opportunity cost of taking one day of free time?
A student has a 70-day summer break and a job offer that pays $90 per day. The student's total earnings are their only source of funds for consumption. Given these conditions, it is possible for the student to take 30 days of free time and also achieve a total consumption of $4,000.
