- q7- When leisure is a normal good, the income effect from an increase in wages is manifest in a(n): Select one: a. desire to consume less leisure b. a change in preferences c. desire to consume more leisure d. a shift inwards of the budget constraintAssume you can work as many hours you wish at £12 per hour (net of tax). If you do not work, you have no income. You have no ability to borrow or lend, so your consumption, c, is simply equal to your income. b) Assume that your optimal choice of consumption and leisure is to work 8 hours per day. Illustrate this choice diagrammatically using the feasible set and indifference curves.Consider the problem of a consumer who chooses between consuming goods and enjoying leisure in the current and future periods. Denote the consumption and leisure in the current period as C and l, and the consumption and leisure in the future period as C′ and l′, respectively. The preference is summarized by the following utility function: U(C,C′,l,l′)=lnC+ψlnl+β(lnC′ +ψlnl′). This individual is endowed with h units of time in each period. Wage rate per unit of labour time is w and w′ in the current and future period. In addition, the consumer receives profit transfer π and π′ and pays lump-sum taxes T and T′ in the current and future periods. Denote the saving in the current period as Sp. Answer the following questions. Derive the life-time budget constraint of this consumer. Set up the consumer’s problem. Solve for consumption (C and C′), leisure (l and l′), and saving (Sp). How does an increase in wage rate w affect C, Sp, and l?
- Assume that consumption and leisure are perfect complements, that is, the consumer always desires a consumption bundle where the quantities of consumption and leisure are equal, that is, C=L 1) (Denote the total hours of time available by h, the real wage by w, the real dividend income from firms by pi (π), and the lump-sum tax by T. Write down the consumer’s budget constraint. 2) Determine the consumer’s optimal choice of consumption and leisure. 3) Assume that there is an increase in w . Show how the consumer’s optimal consumption bundle changes. Explain with reference to income and substitution effectsQ1: Suppose Labor and Capital are substitutes and the price of capital falls. All else equal, we should expect the labor select (supply, demand) Curve shift select ( up to the right, down to the left ) and for equilibrium wages to select (rise, fall) Q2: An individual has a utility function over Leisure and Income such that ?=?1/2?1/2 This individual has a budget constraint ?=?⋅(24−?)+? The best possible wage this individual can earn in the labor market is $2 per hour. This individual is $30 in debt (they have negative non-labor income). If this individual is earning a utility level of 4, which of the following are true? Group of answer choices The worker could be supplying 1 unit of Labor The worker could be earning $10 The worker could be supplying 8 units of labor The worker is maximizing their utility given their budget The worker's Marginal Rate of Substitution at the point where the budget constraint intersects the indifference curve is equal to -2How would you demonstrate part c) diagramatically 6. Assume you can work as many hours you wish at £12 per hour (net of tax). If you do not work, you have no income. You have no ability to borrow or lend, so your consumption, c, is simply equal to your income. b) Assume that your optimal choice of consumption and leisure is to work 8 hours per day. Illustrate this choice diagrammatically using the feasible set and indifference curves. c) Use indifference curves and the feasible set to show why, given the properties of the optimal choice in part b), it is not optimal to work, say, 10, or 6 hours per day.
- Q3. Consider a utility function with one consumption good q1 and one type of leisure q2 c) Show mathematically and diagrammatically the decomposition of totaleffect.Assume you can work as many hours you wish at £12 per hour (net of tax). If you do not work, you have no income. You have no ability to borrow or lend, so your consumption, c, is simply equal to your income. Assume that your optimal choice of consumption and leisure is to work 8 hours per day. Illustrate this choice diagrammatically using the feasible set and indifference curves.1 The consumption-leisure framework Suppose that the representative consumer has the following utility function over consumption (c) and labour (n): u(c, l) = ln c − A 1 + � n 1+� (1) where, as usual, c denotes consumption and n denotes the number of hours of labour the consumer chooses to work, The constants A and � are outside the control of the individual, but each is strictly positive. Suppose the budget constraint (in real terms) faced by the individual is given by: c = (1 − t) · w · n (2) where t is the labour tax rate, w is the real hourly wage rate, and n is the number of hours the individual works. Remember, as seen in class, n + l = 1 is always true. Using the static consumption-leisure framework, answer the questions that follow. 1. State the utility maximization problem, and state carefully the choice variables in the problem. [2] 2. Write the Lagrangian function for this problem. [2] 3. Using the Lagrangian function from above, derive the first order condition with respect…
- What is the optimal number of work hours for the student whose utility function for other goods (X) and leisure (L) is U (C,L) = CL, and who has $50 of nonlabor income per week and the possibility to work at $5 per hour. Assume that after studying for class & other activities, the student has only 50 hours per week remaining to choose between work and leisure.Consider an infinitely lived agent who has one unit of a commodity and she consumes it over lifetime. The commodity is not perishable and she receives no dividend or interest on saving. Consumption of the commodity in period t is denoted Xt. Let the lifetime utility function be given by: u(x0, x1,...,) = Σ B^t (ln Xt).[Limit 1 to infinity]. Here, 0 < B < 1. Compute the consumer’s optimal consumption level for each period.The weekly preferences over consumption (C) and leisure(L) are defined by u(C, L) = √C + 3√L. The person receives a weekly allowance of m from The hourly wage is $18 per hour, and the person can work up to50 hours each week (T = z + L = 50), where z is the number of hours spent working). a)How many hours will the person work if her allowance is m= $450 per week b) What is the smallest allowance m for which the person will stopworking altogether (z∗ = 0) for a wage of w = 18?
