QUESTION 10.5 CHOOSE THE CORRECT ANSWER(S) Figure 10.6 depicts Marco's choice of consumption in periods 1 (now) and 2 (later). He has $100 worth of grain in period 1 and no income in period 2.

Finally in scheme 4, he can invest the entire amount of grain and borrow against his future income at 10%. Based on this information, which of the following statements is correct? A: 20% depreciation from storage means that Marco is worse off at H than at his initial endowment of consuming all $100 worth of grain in period 1.
