SUMMARY
Person A allocates his entire income of $100 to purchase good X, priced at $5 each, and composite good Y, which is obtained through a coupon system. For every 5 units of good X purchased, Person A receives a coupon for one unit of good Y. The maximum quantity of good X he can buy is 20 units, which grants him 4 units of good Y. The budget constraint can be represented graphically in an XY coordinate system, illustrating the trade-off between good X and good Y.
