1.4. Consider two economies, labelled A person be endowed with 20 units of the consumption when young and nothing when old. In Economy A, each young person chooses to consume 10 units of the consump- tion good. In Economy B, each young person chooses to consume 8 units of the con- sumption good. In each economy, the young person's choice is the one that maximizes lifetime welfare. a. What, if anything, can you infer about the welfare level of the current and future generations from this information? Specifically, is one on an indifference curve representing greater welfare than the other? b. What, if anything can you infer about the welfare of the initial old from the descrip- tion given for Fir J.DO

3 part question, please answer completely: Jaime has preferences over GOOD (A) and GOOD (B), with $60 to spend on the two goods. The market price of GOOD A is currently $3. However, if she purchases a membership to Costco for $10, she can purchase GOOD B for $2. However, Costco does not sell GOOD B and can only be bought at a price of $1. 1. Write down the mathematical expression describing Jaime budget constraint for two separate cases. In the first, she does not buy the Costco membership, but in the second she does. Very carefully, graph both budget constraints on the same diagram with GOOD B on the horizontal axis and GOOD A on the vertical axis, again labeling all slopes and intercepts. A clear illustration will help you with the following subquestions. Assume for now that Jaime's preferences satisfy the standard consumer theory assumptions: they are monotonic, she has a diminishing marginal rate of substitution, etc so can you say for certain if Jaime will choose to buy the…
Carol needs to decide how to spend her wealth on sh and chicken.For Carol, 1 lb of sh is equivalent to 2 lb of chicken. Her preferences2Intermediate Microeconomics NYUAD, Spring 2023can be represented by the utility functionu(x; y) = 2x + ywhere x is the quantity of sh (in lbs) and y is the quantity of chicken(in lbs). The consumption set is R2+.(a) Draw two typical indi erence curves for Carol, one correspondingto a utility level of u1 and one corresponding to a utility level u2,where 0 < u1 < u2. Make sure you label the slope of the indif-ference curves and the intercepts with the horizontal and verticalaxes.(b) Suppose the price of sh is $1:5 per lb and and the price of chickenis $1 per lb. Carol has $20 to spend on sh and chicken.(i) Draw Carol's budget set, labeling the slope and the interceptpoints clearly.(ii) How much sh and chicken will Carol choose to purchase?
Pls help with below homework. Assume that the consumers A and B want to maximize utility, that they consume the same goods price ration. What decision rule would they employ, and how would this relate to the Welfare Frontier? (Assume that the goods are X and Y).

2. The standard model of consumer behavior assumes that income is exogenous. Of course, a person's income usually depends upon the number of hours the individual works. Suppose that an individual has T hours each day which can be allocated toward working time, H, or leisure time, L-that is, T = H + L. The individual earns w dollars for each hour worked. Then the individual's income is M + wH where M denotes any non-labor income. The individual has preferences over leisure time, L, and a consumption good, X, which can be represented by a quasi-concave utility function, U(X, L). The consumption good, X, can be purchased at the price Px. The individual seeks to maximize the utility subject to the constraints on time and money. (1) Formulate the individual's problem as an optimization problem with two constraints a time constraint and a money constraint. Derive the first-order conditions. Give an economic interpretation of the Lagrange multipliers. (2) The two-constraints problem can be…

Allison has a golden goose that will lay an egg every year until forever. The first egg will be out next year, and each egg is worth $500. Allison's friend, Eric, offers a price to buy the golden goose from Allison today. The interest rate is 10%. From the cost-benefit analysis, under which of the following offers would Allison be willing to sell the goose to Eric? O A $4,500 B. $5.500 C. Allison would want to sell it to Eric with both $4,500 and $5.500. D. Allison wouldn't want to sell it anyway since the eggs would be laid out forever.
