B) always able to price produce above the competition and earn a larger profit.
C) never able to determine any prices he charges for anything, such as soybeans.
D) a price taker and cannot affect the market price of wheat.

Grant has $200 to spend each month on restaurant meals and jazz performances at his

neighborhood jazz club. The price of a typical restaurant meal is $20 and the price of a jazz performance ticket is $10. Grant is maximizing his utility by consuming 6 restaurant meals and attending 8 jazz performances. Suppose Grant still has $200 to spend, but the price of restaurant meal rises to $25, while the price of jazz performance ticket drops to $8. Can it be determined if Grant is better off or worse off than he was before the price change? Use a budget constraint/indifference curve graph to illustrate your answer.
