Assume w< 4. Under this assumption, the optimal number of hours of leisure is _. Choose the correct one. 0 1 W This problem considers the decisions of a consumer whose preferences are given by u(C,1)=C+4 lnl, in which C' is the quantity of consumption and I is the quantity of leisure. The consumer faces two constraints. The time constraint is given by 1 + N³ = 1 with NS as the time spent working (or the labor supply). The main advantage of working is the wages consumers receive. Consumers take wages as given (outside of their control) and obtain wage income equal to wN³. The budget constraint is C wNsT, with π as real dividend income and T as the real = lump-sum taxes paid to government.
