Suppose you have a monthly income of $1000, $850 in monthly expenses, and you can put money in a savings account that yields a monthly interest rate of 4%. Create a budget constraint showing the trade-off between present consumption (horizontal axis) and future consumption (vertical axis). How much will you have in the future if you choose to consume $850 now? Show this point on your budget constraint.
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?
I am not sure how to start solving the M'. Need some guidance on this so I can also plot in a graph. TY
6. If intertemporal preferences are consistent and the lifetime utility function is additive, then the discount function 8(t) must be (a) bounded (b) exponential (c) hyperbolic (d) linear (e) logarithmic
2nd attempt See Hint A consumer faces a tradeoff between labor (L) and leisure (R). She consumes a composite good (C). When the consumer works, she earns an hourly wage of $15.00, and she spends a maximum of 24 hours on labor and leisure, but she chooses to work 10.00 hours. Whatever time she does not spend working, she spends on leisure. She starts with an initial endowment of 11.00 units of the composite good, which she can buy and sell freely at a market price of $4.00. Given this information, what is the consumer's real wage? $ 194
The graph below shows David’s preferences for leisure and consumption. Draw three budget constraints in the graph below. One if David’s wage is $10 per hour (BC1), another if his wage is $20 per hour (BC2) and a third for if his wage is $30 per hour (BC3). Show the optimal combination of leisure and consumption for each of the three budget constraints. Label the optimal amount of Leisure, L1, L2 & L3, and label the optimal amounts of consumption C1, C2 & C3.
