U(C1, C2) = c₁0.8 20.4 where c₁ is the quantity of current consumption goods and c₂ is the quantity of future consumption goods. Consider a consumer whose income is y₁ = 100 in the current period and y₂ = 140 in the future period. The consumer pays lump-sum taxes t₁ and t₂ == = 20 in the current period 10 in the future period. The real interest rate is r = 0.1, or 10%, per period. (a) Write down the consumer's budget constraint for each period and derive the consumer's lifetime budget constraint. What is the value of the consumer's lifetime wealth? [Note: Lifetime wealth is the present value of the consumer's lifetime disposable income] (b) Draw the lifetime budget line on the (C1, C2) plane with c₁ on the horizontal axis and C₂ on the vertical axis. Include the values of the intercepts and the endowment point in your graph. What is the slope of the budget line?

Consider an economy that is composed of identical individuals who live for two periods. These individuals have preferences over consumption in periods 1 and 2 given by U = /(C,) + (C2). They receive an income of 45 in period 1 and an income of 20 in period 2. They can save as much of their income as they like in bank accounts, earning an interest rate of 10% per period. They do not care about their children, so they spend all their money before the end of period 2. Each individual's lifetime budget constraint is given by C1 + C2/(1 + r) = Y1 + Y2/(1 + r). Individuals choose consumption in each period by maximizing lifetime utility subject to this lifetime budget constraint. (a) What is the individual's optimal consumption in each period? How much saving does he or she do in the first period? (b) The government has decided to set up a social security system. This system will take $10 from each individual in the first period, put it in the bank, and transfer it to each person with…
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.
Describe the Adjusted-discount method?
Elvira has a major building project. She will need to borrow money. If she can borrow money at a real interest rate of 3.5%, or less, the project will be profitable. However, if the borrowing is set at a real rate higher than 3.5%, the project will be a loss. The bank is offering her a rate of 13% currently. The CPI is due to be released tomorrow. The CPI from one year ago is 263.014. The current CPI is 284.55. Assume the bank's rate is 13% throughout, and the CPI from one year ago is the same at 263.014. Elvira expects tomorrow's CPI to be 290.35. Whether tomorrow's CPI is the same (284.55) or at Elvira's expectation (290.35) the rate is expected to continue. She must commit to the bank today or tomorrow. If she doesn't get the loan, she will be fired. Should she borrow now or wait for the release of CPI data? Why? What are the relevant numbers involved?

1/2 of the population is unemployed with $500 in income; the other 1/2 are employed and earn $50,000 each individual has the utility function: U=4x(1/2) where x=individual's income Proposal 1) government taxes everyone with income at a flat rate of 10%. From the tax revenue, the government will refund the same amount to each person; regardless of their income Proposal 2) government taxes everyone at a flat rate of 10%. It will refund the same amount to each person according to the percentage of taxes paid. Question: compare the proposals under the utilitarian and Rawlsian social welfare functions. How do these proposals rank under each social welfare function? (all calculations can be done on a per-capita basis).
Assume you can work as many hours you wish at £12 per hour (net of tax). If you do not work, you have no income. You have no ability to borrow or lend, so your consumption, c, is simply equal to your income. Derive and plot the feasible set, between daily values of consumption c, and “leisure”, l. Label the values at the intercepts (the points where the feasible frontier cuts the two axes).
Consider a household with wealth of $62,000. If the price level decreases by 8%, this household is expected to its consumption because of the decrease; deflationary effect decrease; wealth effect increase; wealth effect decrease; income effect increase; interest rate effect
Consider a model in which individuals live for two periods and have utility functions of the form U = In(C1) + In(C2). They earn income of $100 in the first period and save S to finance consumption in the second period. The interest rate, r, is 10%. 1. Set up the individual's lifetime utility maximization problem. Solve for the optimal C1, C2, and S. (Hint: Rewrite C2 in terms of income, C1, and r.) Draw a graph showing the opportunity set. (5 marks) 2. The government imposes a 20% tax on labor income. Solve for the new optimal levels of C1, C2, and S. Explain any differences between the new level of savings and the level in part (a), paying attention to any income and substitution effects. 3. Instead of the labor income tax, the government imposes a 20% tax on interest income. Solve for the new optimal levels of C1, C2, and S. (Hint: What is the new after tax interest rate?)
