Kevin is in a band and likes to advertise upcoming shows using flyers he posts around the city. Making one black-and-white flyer costs $0.02, and making a flyer in color costs $0.08. Kevin budgets $14.00 for making flyers each month. The following graph shows three of Kevin's indifference curves for the number of black-and-white and color flyers that he makes. Use the green line (triangle symbol) to plot Kevin's budget constraint. Then, place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate Kevin's optimal consumption choice given that budget constraint.
