The graph to the right shows the entertainment budget for a consumer whose entertainment activities are Dining Out (Di) and Going to Movies (M).

   Initially, she is going to MO movies each month; then the price of going to the movies increases. As shown on the graph, this moves her from the magenta budget constraint to the blue budget constraint, and reduces her consumption of movies to MN.
