Shen is a tenured faculty member who teaches molecular physics at a university where he earns an annual salary of $160,000. 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 Shen will consume whatever he saves this year plus interest, and he is not concerned with the future beyond
next year
The following graph shows Shen's preferences for consumption this year and next year. Suppose initially Shen cannot earn interest on the money he
Use the green line (triangle symbol) to plot Shen's budget constraint (BC) on the following graph. Then use the black point (plus symbol) to show
his optimum consumption bundle.

You have just won the lottery. The state offers you an amortized payout of $200,000 at the end of each year for 30 years. The payout is taxable and the tax rate is 60%. You do not expect the government (who pays the payout) to go bankrupt. The risk-free rate is 9% per year and the total expected market return is 17%. What is the value of the lump-sum payment that would cause you to be indifferent between taking the lump-sum or the amortized payout?
If the first $20,000 of your income (or any portion thereof) is taxed at 10%, and the next $30,000 of your income (or any portion thereof) is taxed at 20%, and any income you make above that is taxed at a 30% rate, then a person who earned an income of $500,000 will pay the following amount in taxes:
