Can you please solve 8 e knowing that the awnser to 8 d is found written below. Please also see attached question Awnser to 8d: U = (X1)^(1/2)*(X2)^(1/3) We have budget constraint as, m = P1*X1+P2*X2 Let's set up the Lagrange maximizing function as below. L = U(X1, X2) - λλ(P1X1+P2X2-m) L = (X1)^(1/2)*(X2)^(1/3)- λλ(P1X1+P2X2-m) Finding first order condition, dL/dX1 = (0.5)*(X2)^(1/3)/(X1)^(1/2)-λλP1 dL/dX2 = (1/3)*(X1)^(1/2)/(X2)^(2/3)-λλP2 Equating these equations to zero to get, (0.5)*(X2)^(1/3)/(X1)^(1/2)-λλP1 = 0 (1/3)*(X1)^(1/2)/(X2)^(2/3)-λλP2 = 0 (0.5)*(X2)^(1/3)/(X1)^(1/2)/P1 = (1/3)*(X1)^(1/2)/(X2)^(2/3)/P2 (3/2)*(X2/X1) = P1/P2 X1 = (1.5P2*X2)/P1 dL/dλλ = P1X1+P2X2-m=0 P1X1+P2X2 = m P1*(1.5P2*X2)/P1+P2X2=m 2.5*P2X2=m X2 = 0.4*m/P2 X1 = 0.6*m/P1 Hence, Marshallian demand function for good q and good 2 respectively are X1 = 0.4*m/P1 X2 = 0.6*m/P2
4. Suppose you had to eat a cake over 3 days. The share of cake consumed in period t is ct, so that 53 E=1 Ct < 1. Instantaneous utility is derived as u(ct) = log(ct). a) Find the optimal consumption path for an exponential discounter with a daily discount rate of p = 0.1. b) Find the consumption path for a naïve hyperbolic discounter with a discount factor of 1 in the current day and B (,) for utility delayed by t days, where ß = 0.7 and p = 0.1. 1+p. Discuss what a sophisticated hyperbolic discounter should do on the first day.
Suppose you own a small deposit of copper and you plan to completely mine the copper this year and next year. The marginal benefit (inverse demand) of copper mining is p= 10 – 0.5ą Where q is the quantity extracted. The marginal cost (supply) of mining copper is p = 3 A. First, assume that your copper deposit is not limited. What would be the efficient quantity to extract annually? Round to 3 decimal places (12.345). B. Now suppose the total stock of the copper deposit is 20. What is the quantity that should you extract in period 1 and period 2 under dynamic efficiency, assuming a discount rate of 15%? Round to 3 decimal places (12.345).
Nutritional economics. Suppose we are considering a hungry individual in the Gross-man model deciding what to have for dinner. His options are listed in Table 3.2. Each dish has an effect on the level of the home good Z and health H.a. Suppose the diner’s single-period utility function is as follows: U = 3Z + HIf the diner is trying to maximize his single-period utility, and he can only select one item from Table 3.2, which meal would he choose?b. A miracle pill is discovered that halves the negative health impact of cookies. How does this impact the diner’s choice?c. What effect does the miracle pill have on the diner’s health H? Interpret this result.Does this mean the diner would be better off without the miracle pill?d. If the diner is instead trying to maximize his lifetime utility and not just his single-period utility, how might your answer to Exercise 16(a) change? Is he likely to value Z or H more in the lifetime context than the single-period context? Explain your answer, and…

A decision maker allocates an endowment of W > 0 dollars across two periodst = 1, 2. He discounts the future by β ∈ (0, 1) while facing a gross interest rateof R > 1. His utility is the same as studied in class. Solve for the intertemporalchoice problem. Show that the optimal consumption is decreasing over time ifβR < 1, constant over time if βR = 1, and increasing over time if βR > 1.

Consider the household model that you have seen in class but now assume that the goal of the household is to consume twice as much in period 2 as in period 1. She earns $100 in the first period and $150 in the second period. The interest rate is 5%. What is her optimal saving in the first period? Note: Type in your answer approximated to two decimal points, i.e., your answer must be of the form "999.99". I will not be able to fix correct answers that were entered incorrectly, such as "999.999" or "999,99" or "999". In case the last digit in the correct answer is zero, e.g., "999.90" or "999.00", Blackboard will automatically delete it and you should not do anything about it.
