QUESTION 1An individual lives for two periods and decides how much to consume in each period.- In the first period his consumption equals C1 and his income Y1 = 200- In the second period his consumption equals C2 and his income Y2 = 100He can save or borrow money in the first period to finance his consumption in the second period.The interest rate he gets in case he saves or has to pay in case he borrows money equals 7%.Determine the budget constraint of this individual. C2 = −0.935·C1 +314C2 =−1.07·C1 +314C2 =−0.8·C1 +314C2 =−1.08·C1 +314 QUESTION 2The total production of a good y is determined by the production function y = 3L2/3K1/3, where L is labour input and K capital input.The reward (factor prices) for labour and capital are, l = 27 en r = 2, respectively.The producer needs to produce 9000 units of good y.How much units of labour will he hire if he wants to miminize his total costs? 1587,4839,953000515,23 QUESTION 3A good is traded on a perfectly competitive…
George enjoys bananas and leisure. He sleeps 8 hours per day. Of the remaining 16 hours, for each hour he works he is paid 2 bananas. He also receives 6 bananas in dividends but has to pay 6 bananas in taxes. Draw George’s budget constraint (put consumption on the vertical axis and leisure on the horizontal). Make sure to show the vertical and horizontal intercepts as well as the slope. Now suppose that George chooses to work 6 hours per day. Find how many hours o f leisure and how many bananas he will consume, and show his optimal choice on the budget line using an indifference curve. Suppose that the government uses some of the taxes to give back to George income assistance of 4 bananas. Show the impact of the measure on George’s budget constraint Use an indifference curve to show George’s new optimal allocation and explain what will happen to his consumption of bananas and leisure if both are normal goods. The graphs below shows the behaviour of consumption of durables and…

Suppose you expect to earn $10 this year and $10 next year. Each dollar you earn this year can be either spent, or saved at an interest rate of 10%. If you want to spend more than $10 this year, you can borrow money at 10% interest and repay it next year. Next year, you plan to pay oyour debts (if any), then spend all your earnings and all your savings (if any). Draw your budget line between “dollars spent this year" and “dollars spent next year". Suppose the government imposes a 50% income tax on all your earnings this year and next year (not including your interest earnings). Draw your new budget line. Suppose the government imposes a 50% sales tax on everything you buy this year and next year. Draw your new budget line. Suppose the government imposes a 50% income tax on all your earnings this year and next year, including your interest earnings. Draw your new budget line. True or False: If interest earnings are not subject to income tax, then an income tax and a sales tax…
11) Suppose there are two goods, X and Y, with X measured on the horizontal axis and Y measured onthe vertical axis. Which of the following statements about a budget line relating the two goods is correct? The budget line shows all the possible combinations of X and Y a consumer can buy given the level of income and prices. The budget line shows all the possible combinations of X and Y a consumer can buy given the level of income, prices, and borrowings. The budget line shows the most preferred combinations of X and Y a consumer can buy given the level of income and prices. The budget line shows the least-cost combinations of X and Y a consumer will buy given the level of income and prices.
Title Suppose that Lynn enjoys coconut oil in her coffee. She has very particular preferences, and she mus Description Suppose that Lynn enjoys coconut oil in her coffee. She has very particular preferences, and she must have exactly two spoonfuls of coconut oil for each cup of coffee. Let C be the number of cups of coffee, and O be the number of spoonfuls of coconut oil. Also, let PC be the price of a cup of coffee. Suppose Lynn has $12 to spend on coffee and coconut oil. Also, the price of coconut oil is $.50 per spoonful.a) Graph Lynnâs Price Consumption Curve for prices, PC = $1, PC = $2, and PC = $3. Please put the number of cups of coffee on the horizontal axis, and the number of spoonfuls of coconut oil on the vertical axis. Be sure to label your graph carefully and accurately.b) Graph Lynnâs demand curve for coffee. You may assume that both coconut oil and coffee are continuous variables so she can consume any amount of coffee and coconut oil that she could afford.…
Columns 1 through 4 in the following table show the marginal utility, measured in utils, that Ricardo would get by purchasing various amounts of products A, B, C, and D. Column 5 shows the marginal utility Ricardo gets from saving. Assume that the prices of A, B, C, and D are, respectively, $18, $6, $4, and $24 and that Ricardo has an income of $106. a. What quantities of A, B, C, and D will Ricardo purchase in maximizing his utility? b. How many dollars will Ricardo choose to save? c. Check your answers by substituting them into the algebraic statement of the utility-maximizing rule.
Garfield enjoys pizzas and hanging out (leisure). He sleeps 8 hours per day. Of the remaining16 hours, for each hour he chooses to work he gets paid 2 pizzas. Garfield must pay 6 pizzas intaxes but receives dividends equivalent to 6 pizzas.1. Draw Garfield’s budget constraint (put consumption on the vertical axis and leisure of thehorizontal). Make sure to show the vertical and horizontal intercepts as well as the slope.b. Now suppose that Garfield chooses to work 10 hours per day. Find how many hoursof leisure and how many pizzas he will consume.c. Using your answer from b, show Garfield’s optimal point on the budget line and drawthe indifference curve passing from that point.4. Suppose that Garfield’s wage falls to 1 pizza per hour. Draw Garfield’s new budgetconstraint. Make sure to show the value of any intercept that has changed.5. Suppose that in response, Garfield decides to work for 6 hours per day. How much leisurewill he take, and how much pizza will he consume?6. Use an…

Check your answers by substituting them into the algebraic statement of the utility‑maximizing rule. In other words, show it works when using this rule.
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.
