4. The consumption-leisure framework. In this question you will use the basic (one- period) consumption-leisure framework to consider some labor market issues. Suppose that the representative consumer has the following utility function over con- sumption and labor: A u(c, 1) = In c- 1+0 where, as usual, c denotes consumption and n denotes the number of hours of labor the consumer chooses to work. The constants A and o are outside the control of the individual, but each is strictly positive. (As usual, In(-) is the natural log function.) Suppose that the budget constraint (expressed in real, rather than in nominal, terms) the individual faces is c (1-t) w.n, where t is the labor tax rate, w is the real hourly wage rate, and n is the number of hours the individual works. Recall that n+ 1= 1 must always be true. The Lagrangian for this problem is A Inc-n* + a[(1-t)wn- c], 1+0 where A denotes the Lagrange multiplier on the budget constraint.

The demand and supply of pizza is defined by the following equations: Qd = D(P, Y ) = 1 + Y − 2P Qs = D(P, PM) = 2 P/PM where, Qd is quantity demand, P is the price of each pizza sold, Y is the average income of consumers, Qs is the quantity supplied, and Pm is the price of inputs used in the production of pizza. (a) List the endogenous and exogenous variables of this model (b) Find the equilibrium price Pe and quantity Qe of pizza as a function of the exogenous variables. (c) Use a simple demand and supply diagram to show what happens to the equilibrium price and quantity when there is an increase in one of the exogenous variables.
The production of a certain good in terms of the amount of labour invested L and the amount of capital invested K, is given by the production function Q = 5 L²/3 K ¹/3 At this moment 512 units of labour and 1 000 units of capital are invested daily. This means that at this moment 3200 units are produced daily. a) The company receives an order for 3200 units. Give an implicit equation for the combinations (L, K) resulting in a production of 3200 units. b) Determine K'(L) for L = 100 using implicit differentiation. Interpret your result in a sentence in the context of the word problem. c) Determine the following expression and interpret your result in a sentence in the context of the word problem: 100 K'(100) K d) Set up the graph of K as a function of L using a logarithmic scale on both axes. Interpret the slope in L = 100.
