With the rising cost of energy, the Government has decided to provide a monetary relief to households to help with fuel bills. Assume that it is considering two alternatives. The first is a subsidy on the unit price of fuel, which for convenience we will assume to cover only Electricity. The second is a lump-sum transfer in the form of an income payment. For the case of the subsidy option, consider a representative consumer Mrs Vieja who has a monthly income of £V which she allocates between Electricity and a composite of All Other Goods. The unit price of Electricity is PE, and the unit cost of All Other Goods is 1. The subsidy available to Mrs Vieja is at a rate of s per unit of Electricity (0

The utility of Amanda for leisure (L) and income (Y) is U = LY. The price of income is 1. If Amanda uses her spare L hours a day, (24 - L) hours will be labored. Since wages are w, the daily income is (24 - L). If the wages are positive, show that the optimal number of leisure hours that Amanda will use will always be the same. How much leisure time does Amanda demand and how much work time do she want to provide?

A consumer can borrow or lend freely at the market interest rate of r=100% per period. [If it's helpful, think of the "period" as being a few decades.] Her utility function is: U = In(ct) + (1/2)In(ct+1) She earns Yt=100 and Yt+1=100. But in period t+1 she will have to pay a tax of Tt+1=40. If she's maximizing her utility function subject to the IBC, how much will she consume in period t?
Your current salary is a fixed sum of $93,025 per year. You have an offer for another job. The salary there is a flat $62,500 plus a chance to earn an additional $105,600 if the company does well. Assume that your utility from income can be expressed as: U = √Income. For example, at an income level of $100, your utility level is 10; your utility level from the current salary of $93,025 is 305. The probability of success for the company must be equal to at least percent to induce you to take this job. (Round your response to two decimal places.)
