A consumer can afford to move between any two points on his current budget line.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If a consumer stays on his budget line, it means that he is spending all his available income on the goods and services represented by that budget line. Therefore, if he moves between any two points on the budget line, he is still within his budget and can afford it. If he moves beyond the budget line, then he would be spending more than his available income and thus cannot afford it.
