- Consider a consumer that lives only for two periods. He works in period 1 (and gets income Y1) and moves up the corporate ladder in period 2 (and gets income Y1 < Y2). This consumer has the usual preferences over time: u(C1) + βu(C2) 1. Assume this consumer cannot borrow. What is the consumption in period 1 and period 2? Display graphically. Show the corresponding utility curve. 2. Assume that now the consumer is allowed to save or borrow. Write down the new budget constraint. What is the consumption in period 1 and period 2? Display graphically. Could the consumer be worse off? Could the consumer be better off? Draw budget constraints such that for one of them consumer prefers to borrow and for the other - prefers to save. 3. Assume once again that a consumer cannot borrow, but can borrow and immediately sell some MacGuffins, and in the next period, the consumer must buy back the MacGuffins to return to the lender. Assume that MacGuffin t r a d e s a t P1 > 0 in the first period…Consider a two-period consumption saving model and let f1 and f2 denote the first and secondperiod consumption, respectively. Assume that the interest rate at which the consumer may lend or borrowis 10%. Suppose that a consumer’s utility function is x (f1> f2) = f1 + 20√f2= The consumer first periodincome is L1 = $100 and the present value of her income stream is $330=(a) What is the optimal consumption stream (consumption bundle) of this consumer?(b) Is this consumer borrower or lender? How much does she borrow or lend?(c) What is the effect of a reduction of the interest rate to 5% on the consumer’s optimal first-periodsaving? (Make sure to take into account the effect of the decline in the interest rate on the present value ofthe consumer’s income stream.)Given the utility function: U = ln c + l + ln c’ + l’ and the budget constraint: w(ℎ−l)+(w′(ℎ−l′))/(1+r)=c+(c′)/(1+r) (see pictures of function and constraint) where c = current consumption, c' = future consumption, l = current leisure, l' = future leisure, and r is the market interest rate.Suppose that the current wage, w = 20 and the future wage w' = 22. a) What is the optimal value of current consumption, c? b) What is the optimal valueof future consumption, c’*?
- Suppose that C = a + bY, where C = consumption, a = consumption at zero income, b = slope, and Y = income. a. Are C and Y positively related or are they negatively related? b. If graphed, would the curve for this equation slope upward or slope downward? c. Are the variables C and Y inversely related or directly related? d. What is the value of C if a = 10, b = 0.50, and Y = 200? e. What is the value of Y if C = 100, a = 10, and b = 0.25?Q1. Consider the following two-period model of consumption and saving: Utility = C1^0.5 + B*C2^0.5 C1 + C2/(1+r) = Y1 + Y2/(1+r) where Y1 = 4, Y2 = 1, r = 0.17 and B = 0.5. Find a numerical solution for period 1 consumption, C1. (State your answer to 2 decimal places.)Suppose interest rate is 10 % and consumer's utility function is given by U(C1,C2)=C1C2. Income in the first period is 100 and income in the second period is 121. a) Find optimal consumption is each period. b) Does the consumer borrow? In which period? How much? c) Show the answers on a diagram.
- Explain how does adecrease in the current income y affect the consumer’s consumption-saving decision. In particular,explain: 1) How will current consumption c, future consumption c', and savings s change; 2) Arethere any substitution effect or income effect. Make sure you draw two figures, one for the borrowersand one for the lenders.Katie Kwasi's utility function is U(x₁, x₂)=5(In x₁)+x₂.

His utility function takes the form U (c1; c2) = pc1 +0:97pc2, where c1 and c2 arehis consumption this and next year respectively. It can be shown (and you do not have to) thatthis utility function satis es diminishing marginal rate of substitution.His yearly income is stable at 100 unit (let say a unit is ten-thousand). He faces di¤erent interestrates between borrowing and saving. Speci cally, the saving interest rate is 0:02, whereas theborrowing interest rate is 0:04.(a) Describe the budget set facing Mr Cronus.(b) Is Mr Cronus a borrower?
