Anna has endowment 1500 now and 500 later. Internet rate is 2.0%. She prefers smooth consumption to time (i.e., u0=u1=u). a. Assume utility function, u(c)= log c. What are the optimal consumption c0and c1if Anna's beta=1, and she wants to maximize her utility? b. Now assume that the utility function, u(c)=c0.5. If everything else remains the same as Problem 1(a), what are the optimal consumption c0and c1if Anna wants to maximize her utility?
