2. Dan lives for only two periods. He earns real income m, in the present and mf in the future. His utility function is U(Cp,C) =6C,2/Cf. The market real interest rate is r.(a) Suppose that Dan initially cannot borrow or save. Using a diagram, illustrate and explain the case where Dan would be better off saving.(b) Now suppose that Dan can borrow and save at the market interest rate : Determine the equations for consumption in both periods and savings that maximize Dan's utility.(c) Now consider the special case where Dan earns m, in the present and is retired in the future so that mf=0. If the interest rate rises, will his present and future consumption increase, decrease,or stay the same? Will the increase in the interest rate make him save more or less? Illustrate this in a diagram. Explain your answer in reference to the income and substi tution effects.(d) Following from (c), suppose instead that Dan is eligible to receive a government pension when he retires. Illustrate and explain what you expect the government pension does to Dan'sconsumption in both periods and his savings in comparison to no pension.

4. Mateo is deciding how many dollars to consume today and how many to consume next week. We earns $1,000 each week and earns a real interest rate of p = 0.01 on any money saved today. He also needs to pay the same interest rate if he borrows money today and repays it next week. If his utility function is U (C₁, C₂) = cc₂, where c₁ is units of consumption today and c₂ is units of consumption next week, how many units will he consume this week?

1. Consider a two-period model in which you work and save in the initial period (period 0) and live off savings and the interest from savings in retirement (period 1). Suppose that income in period 0 is $250,000, income in period 1 is $0, and the interest rate is 50%. a. Draw the budget line. b. Draw an indifference curve consistent with a person whose preferences causes them to equalize their consumption in period 0 and period 1. c. Savings are $_ d. Draw the after-tax budget line if a personal income tax is introduced with a marginal tax rate of t= 40%. e. Suppose that preferences are such that after tax consumption is equalized in period 0 and period 1. On the diagram show after-tax savings.

1. Rosie has just written a book. Assume that her preferences are consistent with expected utility theory. There is 30% chance that her book will be a best-seller and make $500,000 in profit (after the costs of production) and a 70% chance it will just break even (i.e. no profit after the costs of production). Her current income is $150,000 (which she will receive regardless of what happens with her book) and her utility function is u (I) = ln (I) (a) Is Rosie risk-averse, risk-neutral, or risk-loving? How do you know? (b) Assume that Rosie will receive all of the profits (if any) from her book. Draw a diagram illustrating (i) Rosie's total income if her book just breaks even, (ii) her total income if her book is a best-seller, (iii) her expected income, (iv) her expected utility, (v) her certainty equivalent, and (vi) her risk premium. (c) Compute the numerical values associated with each of the six amounts you found in (b). (d) Acme Publishing Company has offered Rosie $100,000 for…
Suppose consumption in year 2 (C2) is on the horizontal axis and consumption in year 1 (C1) is on the vertical axis. How would an increase in the interest rate affect the consumer's choices? (which curve(s) would shift/change shape and how?) You may, but do not have to, draw a diagram.
Mathematically derive slope of IS curve. Prove that if investment does not depend on interest rate, the slope of IS curve is infinity.
Suppose a consumer has $1500 in the current time period and $1100 in the future time period.Suppose also that the consumer can borrow and lend freely and, unless otherwise specified, borrowing and lending interest rates are the same. (a) If the interest rate between time periods is 50%, what is the budget constraint between consumption in the present and consumption in the future? (B) If the interest rate at which the consumer can borrow is 75% but the rate at which she can lend is25%, what is the budget constraint? (C) Suppose the interest rate is 50%. If the consumer has to pay a fee of 10% of the loan amount in order to borrow money, what is the budget constraint?
