- 2. Utility maximization - Trading off labor and leisure The indifference curves on the following graph show Simone’s preferences for leisure and consumption for increasing levels of utility, such that her utility increases in both consumption and leisure. Assuming that Simone spends 68 hours each week sleeping, she has a maximum of 100 hours available to her for leisure if she does not work at all. Initially, she works 50 hours (and thus has 50 hours of leisure) and earns $400 per week. Use the grey point (star symbol) to indicate Simone’s initial leisure/consumption bundle. Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes. [Please see the image attached] Now, suppose that Simone is laid off, but she is eligible to collect unemployment benefits of $350 per week. Use the black point (cross symbol) to represent Simone’s unemployment point on the previous graph when she consumes $350 per week and has 100 hours of leisure.
