Bessie, who can currently work as many hours as she wants at a wage of w, chooses to work 10 hours a day. Her boss decides to limit the number of hours that she can work to 8 hours per day. Show how her budget constraint and choice of hours change. Bessie's budget constraint L is illustrated in the figure to the right. For completing the following, assume the indifference curves satisfy the usual assumptions. 1.) Use the 3-point curved line drawing tool to draw an indifference curve for Bessie when she can work as many hours as she wants. Label this curve '¹'. 2.) Use the 3-point curved line drawing tool to draw an indifference curve representing Bessie's utility when she is restricted to work 8 hours per day. Label this curve 'IR¹.

Consider an individual who had been planning to retire in five years. Unfortunately, they've just been laid off and the highest-paying job they've been able to find pays a lower hourly wage than did their previous job. a) Using the concepts of the income and/or substitution effect, describe why we might expect this individual to retire earlier than they originally planned. b) Using the concepts of the income and/or substitution effect, describe why we might expect this individual to retire later than they originally planned

Define The income and substitution effects.
A worker earns £15 pounds an hour and chooses to work six hours a day. The worker has noother source of income. For the question below, assume that the worker has “standard” Cobb-Douglas preferences. When considering wage changes, assume that the “income effect”outweighs the “substitution effect”. (a) Write down the worker’s budget constraint and then represent the worker’schoice in a suitably labelled graph. (b) The government gives the worker £80, but taxes the worker’s wage, such thattheir take-home wage is £10. Model this policy in a suitably labelled graph. Isthe worker better off (in terms of utility) after this policy? Note –there are arange of correct answers for the worker’s new hours/income. Choose one thatis consistent with the information given in the question.
Disscuss the Marginal rate of substitution
In Britain before 1870, both wages and hours worked rose, while after 1900 working hours fell as wages continued to rise. Based on this information, which of the following statements is correct? 1)After 1900, the substitution effect dominated the income effect, so that hours of free time rose. 2)In the period before 1870, the income effect dominated the substitution effect. 3)Sometime between 1870 and 1900 the substitution effect of a rise in the wage rate on the hours of free time changed from negative to positive. 4)The substitution effect dominated the income effect before 1870, but the income effect dominated the substitution effect after 1900.
