In this hypothetical economy. there are two consumers living over two periods of life. Ann's incomes are $50.000 in both periods. Meanwhile, Bob earns nothing in the first period but S105,000 in the second period. Both of them can borrow or lend at the interest rate r. For simplicity, assume that there are no taxes A) Ann and Bob consume $50,000 in the first period and $50,000 in the second period. Write down the lifetime budget constraint for each consumer then calculate the interest rate r. Describe the economic behaviour of each consumer. b) Suppose the interest rate increases. What will happen to Ann's consumption in the first period? Is Ann better off or worse off than before the interest rate rises? Explain your answer using an appropriate diagram

Andrew and Ben own and live in condominium apartments in the same building. Ben's condo is directly above Andrew's. Andrew likes to smoke marijuana and has a valid prescription to smoke it for medical reasons in compliance with Missouri law. The ventilation in the building is such that the marijuana smoke infiltrates Ben's condo. Ben doesn't like the smell. Assume that Andrew values his ability to smoke marijuana inside his condo at $100 Ben values fresh air in his condo at $500 per month. per month. Assume that condo association rules prohibit residents from smoking inside their units but make an exception for medical marijuana. Does this scenario fulfill the Coase Theorem criteria for the parties to find a Pareto-efficient solution? If so, what might that solution be?
Drop down options 1st drop down options- A. Better B. Worse Columns Represented By drop down options A. A to B B. A to C C. B to C Consumption Change drop down options A. 1 fewer B. 1 more C. 2 fewer D. 2 more In this case, the price increases of upscale dinners causes the real income of two friends to decrease or increase. Because of the change to Antonio and Caroline's real income and the direction of the income effect, upscale dinners are a normal good or an inferior good for the friends.
Suppose that we can describe the world using two states and that two assets are available, asset K an asset L. We assume the asset’s future prices have the following distribution State Future Price Asset K Future Price Asset L 1 $55 $60 2 $45 $30 The current price of asset K is $50, and the current price of asset L is $50. You plan to buy a home for $100,000 in the future. To guarantee that you will have the money, what would you buy/sell today to accomplish this, and what would it cost today?
2. The standard model of consumer behavior assumes that income is exogenous. Of course, a person's income usually depends upon the number of hours the individual works. Suppose that an individual has T hours each day which can be allocated toward working time, H, or leisure time, L-that is, T = H + L. The individual earns w dollars for each hour worked. Then the individual's income is M + wH where M denotes any non-labor income. The individual has preferences over leisure time, L, and a consumption good, X, which can be represented by a quasi-concave utility function, U(X, L). The consumption good, X, can be purchased at the price Px. The individual seeks to maximize the utility subject to the constraints on time and money. (1) Formulate the individual's problem as an optimization problem with two constraints a time constraint and a money constraint. Derive the first-order conditions. Give an economic interpretation of the Lagrange multipliers. (2) The two-constraints problem can be…

In this hypothetical economy, there are two consumers living over two periods of life. Ann’s incomes are $50,000 in both periods. Meanwhile, Bob earns nothing in the first period but $105,000 in the second period. Both of them can borrow or lend at the interest rate r. For simplicity, assume that there are no taxes. a) Assume that both Ann and Bob consume $50,000 in the first period and $50,000 in the second period. Write down the lifetime budget constraint for each consumer then calculate the interest rate r. Describe the economic behavior of each consumer. b) Suppose the interest rate increases. What will happen to Ann’s consumption in the first period? Is Ann better off or worse off than before the interest rate rises? Explain your answer using an appropriate diagram c) What will happen to Bob’s consumption in the first period when the interest rate increases? Is Bob better off or worse off than before the interest rate increases? Explain your answer using an…
Use the following parameters to sketch two budget constraints, one with no (or $0) basic personal amount (BPA) and one with $1000 BPA, in a diagram:i. Assume there is only one tax bracket with income tax rate 50%ii. Time endowment = 24, wage rate per hour = $100iii. No other deductions and tax credits. Based on your diagram, discuss how the increase in BPA from $0 to $1000 would affect the labor supply due to the substitution and income effects.
5. Using money creation to pay for government spending Consider Arcadia, a hypothetical country that produces only crab cakes. In 2019, a crab cake is priced at $8.00. Complete the first row of the table with the quantity of crab cakes that can be bought with $900. Hint: In this problem, assume it is not possible to buy a fraction of a crab cake, and always round down to the nearest whole crab cake. For example, if your calculations result in 1.5 crab cakes, the answer should be 1 crab cake. Year 2019 2020 Price of a Crab cake Crab cakes Bought with $900 (Dollars) (Quantity) 8.00 112 86 10.40 Suppose the government of Arcadia cannot raise sufficient tax revenue to pay its debts. In order to meet its debt obligations, the government prints money. As a result, the money supply rises by 30% by 2020. Assuming monetary neutrality holds, complete the second row of the table with the new price of a crab cake and the new quantity of crab cakes that can be bought with $900 in 2020. The impact…

Use the following to answer the following questions. Susan works as a district attorney. She earns, before taxes, around $80,000 each year. Each year, she pays around $15,000 in taxes. She also recently bought a house. She thinks the house is worth $325,000, but Susan still owes $200,000 on the mortgage. Each year she pays around $14,000 in mortgage payments. Additionally, Susan purchased a car. Today the car is worth only $12,000, Susan still owes $7,000 on it, and she makes payments totaling $3,500 on it each year. Susan also has other expenses including $6,000 each year on groceries, $3,000 each year on entertainment, $3,600 each year on household goods, and $1,200 each year on dining out. Which is closest to Susan's total present net worth? (Select the correct answer.) Group of answer choices $210,000 $128,000 $82,000 $44,000
