Alani has 80 hours per week that she can devote to time spent working or on leisure activities. Assume that Alani is paid by the hour, and that her job will always allow her to work as many hours as she chooses.
The following graph presents Alani's weekly leisure-income tradeoff. The three lines labeled BC1BC1, BC2BC2, and BC3BC3 show her time allocation budget at three different hourly wage levels. The given points A, B, and C represent her optimal time allocation choices along each of these constraints.
For each listed point, use the preceding graph to complete the following table by indicating the hourly wage as well as the number of hours per week Alani will spend on labor and leisure.

Musashi is a tenured faculty member who teaches particle physics at a university where he earns an annual salary of $200,000. He intends to take the next year off to focus on writing a new undergraduate physics textbook, so he will not earn any income next year. He is currently deciding how much of this year's salary he should save for next year. Assume that there are no tax implications associated with the decision, and ignore what happens after next year. Therefore, next year Musashi will consume whatever he saves this year plus interest, and he is not concerned with the future beyond next year.
The following graph shows Musashi's preferences for consumption this year and next year. Suppose initially Musashi cannot earn interest on the money he saves.
Use the green line (triangle symbol) to plot Musashi's budget constraint (BC1BC1) on the following graph. Then use the black point (plus symbol) to show his optimum consumption bundle.

The ship owners promise to make theship and the crew available to the charterers to carry an agreed cargo on an agreedvoyage in exchange for the payment of freight. The ship owners remain responsiblefor the execution of the agreed voyage and therefore bear most of the operationalrisks that are associated with such performance. The ship owners also promise toenter into a number of separate contracts (bill of lading) with different parties(shippers, consignees…etc.) at the request of the charterers and agree to act ascarriers under such contracts, thereby agreeing to be responsible for theperformance of such contracts. The contracts also include several incoterms. Critically distinguish the responsibilities between a Voyage Charter Party anda Time Charter party.arrow_forwardCountry X is a WTO member.
