(A) The equation of the budget line is P1X1+P2X2=M′P_1 X_1 + P_2 X_2 = M'.

(B) Consumer's income increases from MM to M′M', but the price of goods remains constant.

(C) The set of available bundles depends upon prices and the income of the consumer.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

P1X1+P2X2=M′P_1X_1 + P_2X_2 = M'
