Using a diagram, draw the outcome of optimal choice using an indi↵erence curve and the individual’s lifetime budget constraint.
Suppose your only source of income is work and that you are paid $20 per hour. This determines a budget constraint. You can buy free time at the expense of your income by working less. Likewise, you can get more income at the expense of your free time by working more. Suppose that you can choose how many hours you work. 5- Which of the two effects is the strongest in this example? How can you tell?
Solve the utility maximization problem to find H* and Z* please!
Gina is at a toy store and is buying toy T-Rex's (x), which cost på, and toy yaks (y), which cost py. Her income is I. She likes 3 T-Rex's as much as she likes 4 yaks. These toys are perfect substitutes for her.
4. Steve's utility funetion over leisure and consumption is given by u(L,Y) = min (3L, Y). Wage rate is w and the price of the composite consumption good is p = 1. (a) Suppose w = 5. Find the optimal leisure - consumption combination. What is the amount of hours worked? (b) Suppose the overtime law is passed so that every worker needs to be paid 1.5 times their current wage for hours worked beyond the first 8 hours. Will this law induce Steve to work more hours? If so, how many? If not, explain.
a. What does an isocost curve represent? b. If the producer's Budget-300 w-5 r-10. Show your procedures (write the isocost equation) and graph the isocost. c. Can you determine if these bundles are part of the same isocost of point b? Set 1(L=44,K-8) Set 2 (L=36,K-12) Set 3 (L=24,K=18)
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%. Create a budget constraint showing the trade-off between present consumption (horizontal axis) and future consumption (vertical axis). How much will you have in the future if you choose to consume $850 now? Show this point on your budget constraint.
2. Suppose Jill derives utility from not only consuming goods, but also from enjoying leisure time. Let her utility function be defined as follows: U=C.25.R.75 where C is a consumption good that can be bought at a price of $1 and R is hours of leisure (relaxation) consumed per day. There are 24 hours in a day and leisure is defined as time spent not working. Jill has a job that pays $w per hour, a trust fund that pays her $M per day, and she can work any number of hours per day, L, she desires. C, consumption good; R, Leisure (relaxation); L, labor M, non-wage income; w, wage rate. a. Derive her labor supply function? b. Assume M = $100, at what wage is her quantity supplied of hours = 0?

11. A worker derives utility from consumption, C and leisure, L U = U(C, L) and initially faces the constraints p.C = N+w.H H = 24 - L where p is the nominal price of consumption, N> 0 is unearned income, w is the nominal wage and H is hours worked. (a) Derive the budget constraint in terms of C and L and show on a diagram an initial optimal choice of C and L, in which both are positive. (b) State this equilibrium algebraically, and briefly explain how it can be derived. (c) Show that, assuming normality of leisure, for some value N*, if N> N*, the individual will choose not to work. Is the initial level of N in your answers to parts a) and b) greater or less than N*?
