Is the consumer borrowing or saving, today? And what will her budget constraint look tomorrow? The consumer is borrowing. Her budget constraint tomorrow will be c' = 150 -10 - 10*(1.1) = 129 The consumer is saving. Her budget constraint tomorrow will be c' = 150 -10 + 10*(1.1) = 151 O The consumer is neither borrowing nor saving - she is breaking even. Her budget constraint tomorrow will be c' = 150 -10 = 140 O The consumer is saving. Her budget constraint tomorrow will be c' = 150 + 10*(1.1) = 161 %D

The law of diminishing MRTSLK holds and thus Lagrange multiplier method is applicable MRTSL,K is not well defined and thus Lagrange multiplier method is applicable The law of diminishing MRTSLK holds and capital and labor are perfect complements. O MRTSLK is not well defined and thus Lagrange multiplier method is not applicable
3. Analytic Question on Durable Consumption It is known that durable consumption is more sensitive to interest rates and expected income. In this question, we investigate if this is the case in the context of the model we have been studying. We investigate the following decision: U (c1, c2) 1 max {c1,c2} 2 VCi + xo + subject to the following budget constraints: The time 1 budget constraint: a = Y1 - Ci and the time 2 budget constraint: C2 = Y2 + (1 +r) a. The novelty is that ro is now a variable to represents past purchases of goods 1. You can think of this as a car. In turn, we have that x1 = c1 so a1 is consumption derived utility in period 2 derived from past purchases. For this question assume that B (1+ r) = 1. Answer the following questions. а. Substitute out a from both budget constraints, the one at time 1 and time 2, to write a single intertemporal budget constraint. b. Show that the Euler equation (the equation that relates the marginal utility of consumption to the interest…

In an intertemporal optimizing model consumption, a consumer living from time zero (0) to time t has a longer utility: U (C)= ln C. The market interest rate is r and the consumer is assuming no inheritance. Derive the consumption relationship and the marginal utilities between two adjacent periods. Using a diagram, explain the time profiles of paths based on (i) above. Show that consumption is proportional to the present value of future income at time zero (0) at a given interest rate.

Which one of the following statements relating to marginal propensity to consume is INCORRECT? (a) Marginal propensity to consume for a given consumption function is usually less than 1; (b) If the people in a country save 30c out of every rand they earn, the marginal propensity to consume in this country is said to be 0.7; (c) If the marginal propensity to consume is given as 0.622, then the value of the simple multiplier will be 2.5; (d) The larger the value of the marginal propensity to consume, the steeper the consumption function will be.

Solve for the new values of e, Y and NX. With the help of graphs, explain very carefully the mechanisms by which a new equilibrium is reached. 3)Suppose that with all exogenous variables at their original values, the autonomous part of money demand increases to 70. Solve for the new values of e, Y and NX. With the help of graphs, explain very carefully the mechanisms by which a new equilibrium is reached.
