Assume That We Are Modeling Inter-Temporal Consumption for a Typical

question 9

True/False

Assume that we are modeling inter-temporal consumption for a typical consumer. Further assume that we measure current consumption on the horizontal axis and future consumption on the vertical axis. A market exists where borrowing and lending can occur for a fixed interest rate, r. When the rate at which a consumer can borrow is higher than the rate at which the consumer can lend, the consumer's budget constraint is composed of two straight lines with different slopes.
