Problem 1 Consider the economy with capital studied in class. Assume the endowment vector (y,0). Suppose the production function is f(k) = √k and u(c1, c2) = In c₁ + ln c2. a. Suppose there is no money. Find the equilibrium consumption allocation (ci,c). b. Now suppose there is money in this economy. Find the equilibrium consumption allocation (1,82). c. Let u(y) = u(ci, c) and (y) = u(c1, c2). Calculate the values of u(y) and (y) for the values y=1,5, 10. What is larger, u(y) or (y)? d. Plot u'(y) and u(y) for values of y = [0,10] on the same graph using different colours or thickness. You can use Maple, Excel, or any other software.

Consider a Robinson Crusoe Economy. There are two commodities in the economy: one is labor L and the other is yam y. The producer Crusoe has production technology of y = Lî. The consumer Crusoe's preference is represented by y(1 – L)¿ where L is the supply of labor. The consumer Cruose has all the share of the producer Crusoe's profit. (a) Find efficient allocation (L, y). (b) Define and calculate a competitive equilibrium of the economy. (Normalize the wage to be unity, i.e., w = 1).
The First Theorem of Welfare Economics can be expressed asA) the competitive equilibrium results only when no transactions costs exist.B) the competitive equilibrium does not involve reallocation of endowments.C) any efficient allocations can be achieved by competition.D) the competitive equilibrium is efficient.

Q1: Suppose Labor and Capital are substitutes and the price of capital falls. All else equal, we should expect the labor select (supply, demand) Curve shift select ( up to the right, down to the left ) and for equilibrium wages to select (rise, fall) Q2: An individual has a utility function over Leisure and Income such that ?=?1/2?1/2 This individual has a budget constraint ?=?⋅(24−?)+? The best possible wage this individual can earn in the labor market is $2 per hour. This individual is $30 in debt (they have negative non-labor income). If this individual is earning a utility level of 4, which of the following are true? Group of answer choices The worker could be supplying 1 unit of Labor The worker could be earning $10 The worker could be supplying 8 units of labor The worker is maximizing their utility given their budget The worker's Marginal Rate of Substitution at the point where the budget constraint intersects the indifference curve is equal to -2
