Answer:

Explanation:

At a wage of $10/hour

Cost of a bus pass - $5

Two way trip =$10

Weekly bus trip = 10*5 -$50 (to & fro)

Extra time spent with bus 5hr (to & fro)

(leisure time are charged at wage rate )

Extra wage forgone with bus = 10*5= $50

the cost of earning extra if i drive =$60

Cost outweighs benefit

I will prefer to go by bus.

But if wages increase to $20

Leisure time valued at $20, Extra wage forgone = 20*5 = 100

Cost of earning extra if i drive by car = $60

If i drive the car . i will save extra time that worth a benefit of $40/week

If the wage increase to$20 , i will prefer to drive my car.
