Concept Introduction:

Closed Economy: It is a type of economy in which there is no external trade that means there is no import and export.

Investment spending: All those spending which are done on physical capital which means that the expenses incurred increases the level of physical capital in the economy is known as investment spending.

The formula to calculate investment spending is,

Here,

  • I is investment spending.
  • GDP is gross domestic product.
  • C is consumption spending.
  • G is government spending.

Private Saving: It is the saving made by people for the time of emergency or the bad financial conditions.

The formula to calculate private saving is,

Here,

  • T is tax revenue.
  • GDP is gross domestic product.
  • C is consumption spending.

Budget Balance: The budget is considered to be balanced when revenue collected from tax and expenditures made by government are equal. When it is a deficit it is represented by a negative value, when it is a surplus it is represented by a positive value and in case of a balanced budget, it is zero.

The formula to calculate the budget balance is,

1. Lisa has $48 per week set aside for coffees (x) and lunches (z). The price of coffee is $4 and lunches are $6. What is Lisa's budget line equation (with z on the left-hand side)? Graph the budget line, and show how it changes when the price of lunches rise to $8 (including intercepts). What is the new budget line equation? 2. Suppose utility for a consumer of movies (x) and golf (z) is U = 20x0.420.5. The consumer has set aside $1000 to consumer movies and golf for a year. a. If the price of movies is $20 and the price of golf is $40, what is the utility-maximizing consumption of movies and golf? b. Show the optimal consumption bundle on a graph, showing a budget line (with intercepts), a tangent indifference curve, and the optimal choice. 3. Sam has set aside $480 for entertainment this month, which is golf (x) and/or bowling (z). A round of golf is $40 and a night of bowling is $30. His utility function is U = 3x + 2z. a. What is his MRS? b. Solve for the optimal choice of golf…
Question Seven There are specific applications of the hidden-action or moral hazard model. Consider employment contracts signed between a firm's owners and a manager who runs the firm on behalf of the owners. The manager is offered an employment contract which they can accept and decide how much effort, e ≥ 0, to exert. Suppose that an increase in effort, e, increases the firm's gross profit, not including payments to the manager, but is personally costly to the manager and the firm's gross profit, Пg, takes the following form: Пg = e +ε, ε~N(0,2). Let s denote the salary, which may depend on effort and/or gross profit, depending on what the owner can observe, offered as part of the contract between the owner and manager. Suppose that the manager is risk averse and has a utility function with respect to salary of the form: Aσ² U(W)=μ- 2 a) Derive the optimal result of the owner's expected net profit where there is full information and state what it implies. b) Suppose now that the…
