- Sanna lives for two time periods. She receives income in both and can consume in both. Her utility function is increasing in both period 1 and period 2 consumption. Any income saved from Period 1 must be consumed in Period 2 and earns interest (at interest rate r); in contrast, if Sanna borrows in Period 1 she must pay this back (at interest rate r) from her income in Period 2. Suppose that initially Sanna's optimal bundle makes her a lender in Period 1. If the interest rate increases, which of the following is true? O None of the other answers are correct Sanna might become a borrower and will be made better off Sanna might become a borrower and might be made better off OSanna will remain a lender and will be made better off Sanna will remain a lender but might be made worse offConsider the plight of Bonget, a middle-aged professor facing retirement soon. Suppose that the present value of Bonget's consumption is equal to financial wealth plus the present value of income (a.k.a. human wealth). Suppose, too, that Bonget derives utility from consumption using the log utility from where = 1. Suppose that the real interest rate is 5%; initial financial assets f = P50,000, y = P100,000 (working age) and y'= P10,000 (retirement age). Assume that taxes are zero. A. B. C. D. What is this person's human wealth and total wealth? According to the neoclassical consumption model, how much does this person consume today and in the future? How much does she save today? If her current labor income y were to increase by P20,000, how much will saving change? If her future labor income were to increase by P10,000, how much will con- sumption today (c) rise? E. Using initial conditions, what if the interest rate rises to 10%? By how much will total wealth and today's consumption…Suppose Jack lives for two periods. Period one is his working life, during which he earns income $50,000; period two is his retirement, during which he earns nothing. During retirement he consumes from the savings during his working life. The rate of interest on his savings is 10%. His consumption during his working life is Cw, and his consumption during his retirement life is Cr. Assume that Jack's utility function is a standard utility function exhibiting diminishing marginal rate of substitution between Cw and Cr. His current consumption during the working life is 75% of his earned income. a. Using the intertemporal choice model, draw a well labeled graph that details all the information discussed above. Notably, indicate the slope of the budget constraint, the intercepts of the budget constraint on both axes, the value of current and future consumptions, and the current savings. Keep in mind that no tax has been imposed on the saver, yet. b. Now the government taxes interest…

The interest rate at which she can borrow and lend is 20%. (i) Find the equation for Anya’s budget line. (ii) Find her optimal bundle. (iii) Explain whether her utility would rise or fall if the interest rate were to fall slightly. (iv) Now suppose that the interest rate is again 20% and Anyahas M1= 0 and M2= 18,000.Explain why her optimal bundles here and in (ii) are related as they are. *just answer part iv.Anya has a two-period horizon.

If he consumes $1,200 in the first period and $1,550 in the second period, what is the interest rate? Now if Milo’s consumption changes to $1,800 in the first period and $2,000 in the second period, what is the new interest rate?
- 2. Suppose Jill derives utility from not only consuming goods, but also from enjoying leisure time. Let her utility function be defined as follows: U=C.25.R.75 where C is a consumption good that can be bought at a price of $1 and R is hours of leisure (relaxation) consumed per day. There are 24 hours in a day and leisure is defined as time spent not working. Jill has a job that pays $w per hour, a trust fund that pays her $M per day, and she can work any number of hours per day, L, she desires. C, consumption good; R, Leisure (relaxation); L, labor M, non-wage income; w, wage rate. a. Derive her labor supply function? b. Assume M = $100, at what wage is her quantity supplied of hours = 0?Consider the 2-period household model that you have seen in class. Suppose the household wants to consume equal amounts in both periods. She earns $100 in the first period and $150 in the second period. The interest rate depends on whether she saves or borrows. The interest rate on saving is 1%, while the interest rate on borrowing is 10%. What is her optimal consumption? Note: Type in your answer approximated to two decimal points, i.e., your answer must be of the form "999.99". I will not be able to fix correct answers that were entered incorrectly, such as "999.999" or "999,99" or "999". In case the last digit in the correct answer is zero, e.g., "999.90" or "999.00", Blackboard will automatically delete it and you should not do anything about it.The diagram below depicts Marco’s choice of consumptions in periods 1 and 2. He has $100 worth of grain in period 1 and no income in period 2. Marco has two choices. In scheme 1, he can sell the grain that he does not consume and lend the money at 10%. In scheme 2, he can invest the grain that he does not consume (e.g., planting as seed) for a return of 50%. Which of the following statement is correct? [ Only One Option correct ] GIVE EXPLANATION FOR EACH OPTION. A. Going from scheme 1 to scheme 2, the substitution and income effects have opposite effects on period 2 consumption.B.Marco can do better than consumption choice B by investing all of his grain and consuming the output in period 2.C. Marco is less impatient at B than at AD. Marco can do better than consumption choice B by investing all of his grain and borrowing against his period 2 output.
- Rodrigo is taking a year between high school and college to work and save up. His utility from consumption each year is U(c) = discounts future utility by B. Rodrigo is going to make $I his year of working, and whatever he doesn't consume from that income will a savings account which will earn return r before he consumes next year.

Mr. A has the following utility function and budget constraints: Max 0.1Ln(C1) + 0.7Ln(C2) Subject to S1 + C1 = 100 C2 + S2 = (1 + r)S1 where C1 and C2 are consumption level at young and that at old respectively. Likewise, S1 and S2 are saving at young and saving at old respectively. a) Find out Mr. A’s optimal consumption levels (i.e. C1*, C2*) and optimal savings (i.e. S1*, S2*) in terms of interest rate r. b) Show clearly the results in part a) in a suitable diagram (with C1 as x-axis and C2 as y-axis). c) Is Mr. A a saver ? or a borrower ? d) If r is equal to 0 (i.e. saving gives no returns), will Mr. A still choose to save when he is young (i.e. is S1 still bigger than 0) ? Why ? e) Suppose that Mr. A is not allowed to save (i.e. S1 = 0). What are his optimal consumption levels ? Show his optimal consumption levels in the same diagram you prepare for part a) (with a suitable indifference curve). f) If r increases,…
