Hello, i have completed the other questions im just showing for context, i need assistance on 4a and 4b highlighted on the picture.would love to get some assistance from an expert.Thank you in advance! Consider an economy that lasts for two periods. A household receives nominal labour income Y1 = 100= 110 in the second period. The price level in the first period is P = 10in the first period and Y2and in the second period it's P2 = 11. The nominal interest rate i is 15%. Household chooses realconsumption c1 and c2 (relative to price level in the first period) to maximise utility U(cı, c2) thatexhibits the decreasing marginal rate of substitution property.1.Calculate the inflation rate T and the real interest rate r.2.Find the real consumption values for which the household neither saves, nor borrows.For all questions below assume that this is the optimal choice for the housheold.3.Draw and describe analytically the set of feasible consumption choices. What is themarginal rate of substitution at the optimal choice?4.Now assume that due to increase in risk premia, banks introduce a spread on interestrates, borrowers now pay r, = r + 1% and lenders get ri = r – 1% on their savings. Showgraphically how this affects the set of feasible consumption choices.b)Can the introduction of the interest rate spread affect the optimal consumption choiceof the household? Why/Why not?

Consumer's utility function for consumption in two periods is c1+30ln(c2). The interest rate is r, the income in the first period is 10, the income in the second period is 50. What is the formula for the demand for second-period consumption?
From what I understand, LBC with work-leisure is c_1 + c_2 / (1+r) = w_1(h-l_1) + w_2(h-l_2) / (1+r). When I manipulate this equation, I get all three of them, which is perplexing since apparently not all of them are correct.
In Irving Fisher’s two period model, if the consumer is initially a saver and the interestrate and the first period consumption increases, then we can conclude that the incomeeffect:a) Was greater than the substitution effectb) Was less than substitution effectc) Exact offset the substitution effectd) And the substitution effect both increased consumption

Consider an economy that lasts for two periods. A household receives nominal labour income Y₁ in the first period and Y₂ in the second period. The price level in the first period is P₁ and in the second period it's P₂. The nominal interest rate is i and the inflation rate is T. A household chooses real consumption c₁ and c₂ (relative to price level in the first period) to maximise utility U(C₁, C2)=√₁+√√₂ with 0 0, or borrowing, when s < 0. 1. Combine the within-period budget constraints into an intertemporal, nominal budget constraint in period-1 values. Next, write the intertemporal budget constraint in real terms in period-1 values.
Describe the effects of a decrease in the interest rate on present and next period’s consumption if the individual is a net lender (i.e., has savings) after period 1 and the substitution effect is larger than the income effect. Show your answer graphically
Suppose Poornima is an avid reader and buys only comic books. Poornima deposits $3,000 in a bank account that pays an annual nominal interest rate of 10%. Assume this interest rate is fixed-that is, it won't change over time. At the time of her deposit, a comic book is priced at $15.00. Initially, the purchasing power of Poornima's $3,000 deposit is comic books. For each of the annual inflation rates given in the following table, first determine the new price of a comic book, assuming it rises at the rate of inflation. Then enter the corresponding purchasing power of Poornima's deposit after one year in the first row of the table for each inflation rate. Finally, enter the value for the real interest rate at each of the given inflation rates. Hint: Round your answers in the first row down to the nearest comic book. For example, if you find that the deposit will cover 20.7 comic books, you would round the purchasing power down to 20 comic books under the assumption that Poornima will…
You live 2 periods. You are born with nothing and you must die with nothing. In period 1 you have labor income of Li1. In period 2 you have labor income of Li2 You may consume (C1 and C2) as well as buy or sell bonds (B). Asume Labor of L1 = 20 & L2 = 220. The interest rate is 10%. Finally assume people want to smooth consumption so C1 = C2. How much do people consume in each period? How much do people consume in each period? 81. 82. 83. What is the value of B 84. 85. 86.
we use the Fisher model to discuss a change in the interest rate for a consumer who saves some of his first-period income. Suppose, instead, that the consumer is a borrower. How does that alter the analysis? Discuss the income and substitution effects on consumption in both periods.
QUESTION 1An individual lives for two periods and decides how much to consume in each period.- In the first period his consumption equals C1 and his income Y1 = 200- In the second period his consumption equals C2 and his income Y2 = 100He can save or borrow money in the first period to finance his consumption in the second period.The interest rate he gets in case he saves or has to pay in case he borrows money equals 7%.Determine the budget constraint of this individual. C2 = −0.935·C1 +314C2 =−1.07·C1 +314C2 =−0.8·C1 +314C2 =−1.08·C1 +314 QUESTION 2The total production of a good y is determined by the production function y = 3L2/3K1/3, where L is labour input and K capital input.The reward (factor prices) for labour and capital are, l = 27 en r = 2, respectively.The producer needs to produce 9000 units of good y.How much units of labour will he hire if he wants to miminize his total costs? 1587,4839,953000515,23 QUESTION 3A good is traded on a perfectly competitive…
