Draw a set of indifference curves that would make it optimal


Problem

Consider the optimal choice of labor and leisure discussed in the text. Suppose a consumer works the first8 hours of the day at a wage rate of $10 per hour, but receives an overtime wage rate of $20 for additional time worked.

b) Draw a set of indifference curves that would make it optimal for him to work 4 hours of overtime each day.

The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
