- Edna is living in a retirement home where home where most of her needs are taken care of, but she has some discretionary spending. Based on the basket of goods in Table 22.5, by what percentage does Ednas cost of living increase between time 1 and time 2Explain how does adecrease in the current income y affect the consumer’s consumption-saving decision. In particular,explain: 1) How will current consumption c, future consumption c', and savings s change; 2) Arethere any substitution effect or income effect. Make sure you draw two figures, one for the borrowersand one for the lenders.Consider the intertemporal consumption problem of Mr Cronus between two periods, say this yearand next year. His utility function takes the form U (c1; c2) = pc1 +0:97pc2, where c1 and c2 arehis consumption this and next year respectively. It can be shown (and you do not have to) thatthis utility function satis es diminishing marginal rate of substitution.His yearly income is stable at 100 unit (let say a unit is ten-thousand). He faces di¤erent interestrates between borrowing and saving. Speci cally, the saving interest rate is 0:02, whereas theborrowing interest rate is 0:04.(a) Describe the budget set facing Mr Cronus.(b) Is Mr Cronus a borrower? Explain your answer.(c) Is Mr Cronus a saver? Explain your answer.
- Given the utility function: U = ln c + l + ln c’ + l’ and the budget constraint: w(ℎ−l)+(w′(ℎ−l′))/(1+r)=c+(c′)/(1+r) (see pictures of function and constraint) where c = current consumption, c' = future consumption, l = current leisure, l' = future leisure, and r is the market interest rate.Suppose that the current wage, w = 20 and the future wage w' = 22. a) What is the optimal value of current consumption, c? b) What is the optimal valueof future consumption, c’*?QUESTION 1An individual lives for two periods and decides how much to consume in each period.- In the first period his consumption equals C1 and his income Y1 = 200- In the second period his consumption equals C2 and his income Y2 = 100He can save or borrow money in the first period to finance his consumption in the second period.The interest rate he gets in case he saves or has to pay in case he borrows money equals 7%.Determine the budget constraint of this individual. C2 = −0.935·C1 +314C2 =−1.07·C1 +314C2 =−0.8·C1 +314C2 =−1.08·C1 +314 QUESTION 2The total production of a good y is determined by the production function y = 3L2/3K1/3, where L is labour input and K capital input.The reward (factor prices) for labour and capital are, l = 27 en r = 2, respectively.The producer needs to produce 9000 units of good y.How much units of labour will he hire if he wants to miminize his total costs? 1587,4839,953000515,23 QUESTION 3A good is traded on a perfectly competitive…Consumption when young and consumption whenold are both normal goods for Seymour, a workersaving for retirement. When the interest rate falls,what happens to Seymour’s consumption when old?a. It definitely increases.b. It definitely decreases.c. It increases only if the substitution effect exceedsthe income effect.d. It decreases only if the substitution effectexceeds the income effect.
- (Short Answers) 1. Jie works in a university. He can work as many hours as he wishes at a wage rate of w. Let C be the number of dollars he has to spend on consumption and let R be the number of hours of leisure that he chooses. Assume that Jie has the utility function U(C, R) = In(C) + In (R). He carms $4 per hour and has 80 hours per week to devote to labor or leisure, and has no income from sources other than labor. a) How many consumptions does he choose? How many hours of leisure does he choose? b) Suppose that Jie's wage rate will rise to $6 per hour from next year. How many hours of leisure per week will he choose next year? You are required to decompose his change in demand into the substitution effect, ordinary income effect and endowment income effect. c) Suppose that Jie will get $4 per hour for the first 35 hours that he works and $6 per hour for every hour beyond 35 hours a week from next year. How many hours of leisure per week will he choose next year?Assume that Abdullah has RO 44 to spend on Energy drinks and Protein Bars each month and that both goods must be purchased whole (no fractional units). Energy drinks cost RO 8 and Protein Bars cost RO 3 each. Abdullah’s preferences for Energy drinks and Protein Bars are summarized by the following information: Energy drinks Protein Bars No. per Month TU MU MU/Px No. per Month TU MU MU/Py 1 42 1 18 2 78 2 33 3 108 3 45 4 132 4 54 5 150 5 60 6 162 6 63 7 168 7 66 Fill in the figures for marginal utility and marginal utility per dollar both Energy drinks and Protein Bars. Are these preferences consistent with the law of diminishing marginal utility? Explain briefly. Given the budget of RO 22, what quantity of Protein Bars and what quantity of Energy drinks will maximize Joe’s…Suppose that a person has 2000 hours to allocate each year between leisure and work. a. Derive the equation of his budget constraint given an hourly wage of $(15)/hour. b) Graph his budget constraint line based on the equation you derived in part a. (Consumption (C) on the vertical axis and leisure (L) on the horizontal axis). Please make sure to include the value for the vertical and horizontal intercepts. c) Now suppose that the local government introduces an income guarantee program for single parents in which the income transfer is $10,000 per year if an individual does not work during that year (this dollar amount represents the benefit guarantee). If the individual decides to work, this transfer program imposes a 100% benefit reduction rate (e. g.. each additional hourly wage earned is reduced by 100%). Derive the new budget constraint equation that corresponds to this scenario. d) Draw the budget line that corresponds to the new scenario on a new graph. (Consumption (C) on the…
- You are an economic advisor to the government. Discuss your opinion . a) How COVID-19 pandemic will affect the consumption behavior as well as the investment done by the firms and household for the next two years? b) What are the actions or policies that the government can implement to face this situation? please answers with analysis and --graph (if possible)Describe the effects of a decrease in the interest rate on present and next period’s consumption if the individual is a net lender (i.e., has savings) after period 1 and the substitution effect is larger than the income effect. Show your answer graphicallyAssume Marco is initially borrowing and investing 100, with a return on investment of 50% and an interest rate on borrowing at 10%. The return on investment falls to 5%. Which statements are correct? Select one or more: A. Marco’s decision to continue to invest will depend on his preference between consumption today and consumption in the future. B. Marco will wish to invest and borrow, but he will be worse off than when the return to investment was 50%. C. If he continues to invest and borrow, the dashed line representing his new frontier will start at 105 on the y axis and be shallower than the solid red line, so he’ll continue to invest and borrow D. In the remaining questions, assume the central bank now cuts interest rates so that the real interest rate falls to zero. Marco will still not wish to invest and borrow. E. If he just invests his money in the bank instead, his frontier will cross the x axis at 100 and be steeper than the frontier if he invests.…
