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?

Suppose you have the following indirect utility function: 72 V(Px, Py, I) = In (. PxPy
Consider a consumer who can borrow or lend freely at an interest rate of 100% per period of time (think of the period as being, say, 30 years, a bit like with a mortgage). So r = 1.0, or 100%. The consumer's two-period utility function is: U = In(ct) + (1/2)In(Ct+1) The consumer earn Y=100 each period, so Y₁=100 and Yt+1 also equals 100. If this consumer is behaving optimally, trying to maximize her lifetime utility subject to the IBC, what's her consumption in period t?
Mia is a registered nurse. She has 18 hours per day to devote to labor or leisure, and has $20 nonlabor income per day. She is paid $10 per hour for the first 8 hours of work and $15 per hour for overtime (for hours worked over 8 hours). Mia's preferences are represented by U(C, R) = CR utility function, where Cis the amount of dollars she spends on consumer goods and R be the number of hours of leisure that she chooses. Question 1 Part a Assuming she can work as many hours per day as she wishes, draw Mia's indif- ference curves, budget constraints and solve for her optimal consumption and leisure choices. Question 1 Part b Suppose that Mia's wage rate rises to $11 an hour for the first 8 hours. She is still paid $15 per hour for overtime. Again, find her optimal choice. Decompose the total change in demand due to a price change into a substitution effect, ordinary income effect and endowment income effect and graphically demonstrate each effect.
Find the marginal utility of an additional unit of good z for a consumer with utility function u (a, y) = zi yi when their current consumption level is 2 and y = 16.
