A university student recieved $1,000 upon graduation at age 20 years. This person was hired by one of the largest global petrochemical companies soon after graduation with an expected annual income of $250. Assume that the retirement age is 65 years and life expectancy is 85 years in the country in which the student resides. Given that this country has zero real interest rate and consumption smoothing is optimal for all individuals: i. Derive an expression for the person’s lifetime resources clearly describing each term. ii. Calculate the value of the person’s lifetime resources. iii. Derive an expression for the person’s consumption function clearly describing any new terms included.
