b. On the graph below, draw Jane’s budget constraint and several of her indifference curves. Illustrate her utility-maximizing bundle.

c. Jane’s local apple orchard has had a huge harvest. To try to sell more apples, they offer Jane a quantity discount. She still pays $1 per apple for the first 100 apples, but she can buy any additional apples beyond that for only $0.40 each.
