Exercise 2 (The Saving Schedule). Consider a two-period economy populated by identicalhouseholds with preferences defined over consumption in period 1, C1, and consumption in period2, C,, and described by the utility functionAssume that households are endowed with Y, kilos of apples in period 1 and with Y, kilos of applesin period 2. Let P, and P, denote the price of apples in periods 1 and 2. Households can save (orborrow) at the nominal interest rate i. Let r denote the real interest rate, so that the gross real interestrate is 1 +r = P, P, (1 + i). Let St denote saving in kilos of apples.1. State the household's budget constraints in periods 1 and 2.2. Derive the household's intertemporal budget constraint in terms of C1, C2, Y1, Y,, and r.3. State the household's utility maximization problem.4. Find the optimal level of consumption in period 1, C,, in period 2, C2, and the associated levelof saving, S,. Express your answer in terms of Y,, Y,, and r.5. Now assume that output is 10 kilos of apples in both periods (Y, = Y, = 10) and that the realinterest rate is 0 percent (r = 0). Find C,, C2, and S1. (Your answer should be 3 numbers.) Finally,compute the same 3 numbers but under the assumption that the real interest rate is 10 percent (r0.1). Is saving increasing in r? Provide intuition.

7) A consumer has to choose the optimal amount of cheese and crackers to purchase. He or she has drawn his or her budget constraint (BC) and indifference curves on a graph with the amount of cheese (in ounces) on the horizontal axis and the amount of crackers (in packages) on the vertical axis. Which of the following statements is true if the price of crackers declines? The BC shifts to the left (down). The BC shifts to the right (up). The BC rotates such that it intersects the horizontal axis at the same point as before and intersects the vertical axis at a lower point. The BC rotates such that it intersects the horizontal axis at the same point as before and intersects the vertical axis at a higher point.
