5.      Jane is a full-time worker at Aksarben Hospital. Assume that her supervisor offers her two options for her daily wage income and leisure time: A ($200, 16 hours) and B ($300, 12 hours). Given that Jane told her supervisor that she strictly prefers option B to option A, we would assume that:

3. she is willing to give up wage income to gain additional leisure time.
4. options A and B are on the same indifference curve according to her preferences 

6.      Given his income of $100, John consumes food (F) and medical care service (M) to maximize his utility. The price of food is $5 per unit, and the price of medical care is $20 per unit. His preference is represented with the utility function U = F*M. In consumers’ optimal decision-making process:

1. the indifference curve is tangent to the budget line.

b.   slope of the indifference curve is the same as the slope of the budget line.

c.   optimal choice lies on the budget line.

d.   (a), (b), and (c) are correct.
