In a hypothetical economy, no investment projects are undertaken when the real interest rate is 18 percent or above, 25 projects worth $1 million each are undertaken when the real interest rate is 15 percent, and 25 more projects worth $1 million each are undertaken every time the real interest rate falls by 3 percent until it reaches a value of zero.

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%. Now suppose you have an opportunity to invest your money at a 12% return. Further suppose you are able to borrow at 3%. Assuming you invest all of your money and then borrow against your future payout, show your trade-off between present and future consumption. If you still need to consume $850 in the present, how much will you have to spend in the future?
