Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAS) allow people to shelter some of their income from taxation. Suppose the maximum annual contribution to such accounts is $5,000 per person. Shift the appropriate curve(s) on the following graph to show how a decrease in the maximum contribution, from $5,000 to $3,000 per year, would affect the market for loanable funds.

Applied to the loanable funds market, the Law of Supply dictates that.. A)Lenders will seek to offer more loans to potential borrowers at higher interest rates than lower ones B)Lenders will seek to offer more loans to potential borrowers at lower interest rates than higher ones C)Borrowers will seek to acquire more loans at higher interest rates than lower interest rates.
Consider two savings accounts that pay the same interest rate. One account lets you take your money out on demand. The second requires that you give 30-day advance notification before withdrawals. Which account would you prefer? Why? Can you imagine a person who might make the opposite choice? What do these choices say about the theory of the consumption function?
Q4 a) When the demand of output decides how much to produce which type of demand prevails in the economy? B) Why investment is negatively related to interest rate?c) Give the equilibrium in the market for loans?
Which of the following two effects of a decrease in the tax rate on saving would raise savings? a. the income effect and the substitution effect b. the income effect but not the substitution effect c. the substitution effect but not the income effect d. neither the substitution effect nor the income effect
Suppose that a consumer cannot vary hours of work as he or she chooses. In particular, he or she must choose between working q hours and not working at all, where q > 0. Suppose that dividend income is zero, and that the consumer pays a tax T if he or she works, and receives a benefit b when not working, interpreted as an unemployment insurance payment. a) If the wage rate increases, how does this affect the consumer’s hours of work? What does this have to say about what we would observe about the behavior of actual consumers when wages change? b) Suppose that the unemployment insurance benefit increases. How will this affect hours of work? Explain the implications of this for unemployment insurance programs.
Consider an economy with two goods, consumption c and leisure l, and a representative consumer. The consumer is endowed with 24 hours of time in a day. A consumer's daily leisure hours are equal to l = 24 – h where h is the number of hours a day the consumer chooses to work. The price of consumption p is equal to 1 and the consumer's hourly wage is w. The consumer faces an ad valorem tax on their earnings of T percent. The consumer also receives some exogenous income Y that does not depend on how many hours she works (e.g. an inheritance). The consumer's preferences over consumption and It hours of work can be represented by the utility function U(c, h) = c- (a) What is this consumer's budget constraint? (b) Solve for the consumer's utility maximizing hours of work h*(w, 1 - T, Y) and con- sumption c*(w, 1 - T, Y). (c) Repeat part (b) for a consumer with the utility function U(c, h) = alog(c) - Blog(h).
