Part 1. Annie has an income of $120 an hour, popcorn cost $6 a bag, and cost $5 a six pack cola.

a. Draw a graph of Annie's budget line (with six pack of cola on the x-axis and popcorn on the y axis)?

b. If we know that Annie maximizes her utility with the purchase of 10 bags of popcorn, how many six pack cola will she purchase? (by calculating an estimate from a graph), draw an indifference curve reflecting this optimum.
