Let us de te Jonn s dally nours of nu his H. SuppoSe thất only source of income is wages for hours worked. He derives utility from leisure, N, and from the consumption of a composite good, Y. The price of Y is 1. John's utility function is U(Y, N) = In(Y) + In(N). (a) Suppose the wage rate is $30 per hour. Write down John's constraint with Y and N as the choice variables. (b) Continue to assume that the wage rate is $30. How many hours will he choose to work? How many units of Y will he consume?

- Q1: 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 -2Let us denote Ben’s daily hours of work by H, and his hours of leisure by N = 24 − H. Suppose that Ben’s only source of income is wages for hours worked. He derives utility from leisure, N, and from the consumption of a composite good, Y. The price of Y is 1. Ben’s utility function is U(Y, N) = ln(Y) + ln(N). (a) Suppose the wage rate is $60 per hour. Write down Ben’s constraint with Y and N as the choice variables.Assume an individual has a utility function of this form U(C, L) = 20 + 4(C*L)1/2 This utility function implies that the individual’s marginal utility of leisure is 2(C/L)1/2 and her marginal utility of consumption is 2(L/C)1/2. The individual has an endowment of V=$80 in non-labour income and T = 16 hours to either work (h) or use for leisure (L). Assume that the price of each unit of consumption good p=$1 and the wage rate for each hour of work w=$10. a. How much utility does the individual receive if she consumes C = 100 and works h = 7 hours? b. Calculate the rate at which the individual is willing to sacrifice an additional leisure hour when she is already working 4 hours. c. What is this individual’s optimal amount of consumption and leisure?
- Assume an individual has a utility function of this form U(C, L) = 20 + 4(C*L)1/2 This utility function implies that the individual’s marginal utility of leisure is 2(C/L)1/2 and her marginal utility of consumption is 2(L/C)1/2.

Assume that the price of each unit of consumption good p=$1 and the wage rate for each hour of work w=$10. a. What is this individual’s optimal amount of consumption and leisure? b. Assume a cash grant welfare program is instituted which pays M = 20 dollars for individuals who do not work. Compute the new optimal labour supply for this individual under the welfare program. Assume that prior to the welfare program, p =$1, w =$10, and V =$80 (as in part c). Does the individual accept the welfare program and not work? Show why or why not.The consumer's utility function for Consumption (C) and Leisure (L) is given as U(C,L) = √CLHis hourly wage is $10, non-labor income is $20; and he has a total of 16 hours to allocate between labor and leisureBased on this information, the consumer's total utility at the optimal level (or optimal C,L combination) is:a. 57.0 utilsb. 28.5 utilsc. 99.75 utilsd. 114.5 utilse. Cannot be determined with the information given I prefer typed answers.Joanna is playing blackjack for real money. She has reference-dependent preferences overmoney: if her earnings are m and her reference point is r, then her utility is v(m − r), wherethe value function v satisfies v(x) = √x for x ≥ 0, and v(x) = −2√−x for x ≤ 0a) Graph Joanna’s utility function as a function of m − rb) Does Joanna’s utility function satisfy loss aversion? Does it satisfy diminishingsensitivity?Suppose that Joanna has linear probability weights (that is, she does NOT have prospecttheory’s non-linear probability weighting function). Hence, if she has a fifty-fifty chance ofgetting amounts m and m′, and her reference point is r, her expected utility is1/2v(m − r) + 1/2v(m′− r) (2)For parts (c), (d), and (e), assume that Joanna’s reference point is $0 (that is, no winsor losses) and answer the following questions for each part: (i) What is the g for whichJoanna would be indifferent between not gambling and taking fifty-fifty win $g or lose$4 gamble?

On the basis of the above question, hen w=0 and non-wage income is 40, find out L.a) 10 b) 0 c) 5 d) 8 e) noneThe utility of Amanda for leisure (L) and income (Y) is U = LY. The price of income is 1. If Amanda uses her spare L hours a day, (24 - L) hours will be labored. Since wages are w, the daily income is (24 - L). If the wages are positive, show that the optimal number of leisure hours that Amanda will use will always be the same. How much leisure time does Amanda demand and how much work time do she want to provide?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?
- Consider an individual whose utility function is U(C, R) = 2C - (4 - R) 2 where R is the amount of leisure the consumer experiences per day. Suppose that the individual normally sleeps T hours a day, and they can spend the remaining hours between work and leisure. The individual receives an hourly wage of w > 0 and has also an income of Y > 0 a day from non - labour sources. The price of consumption goods is p per unit.This question will analyze the impact on a person's labour supply from a shock to their partner's job. Assume leisure is a normal good. Let's assume Vanessa has a wage rate of $20 per hour. Recently her partner, Bill, had to take a wage cut at work, with his wage falling from $45 per hour to $30 per hour, but allowed them to continue working 40 hours per week. Analyze the decision of the household over choice consumption and Vanessa's leisure, taking Bill's hours as given (constant).Anna and Bob are the only residents of a small town. The town currently funds its fire department solely from the individual contributions of these two residents. Each of the two residents has a utility function over private goods ? and total number of firemen ?, of the form: ?(?,?)=2ln?+ln?. The total provision of firemen hired, ?, is the sum of the number hired by each of the two persons: ?=??+??. Ann and Bob both have income of 200 each, and the price of both the private good and a fireman is 1. They are limited to providing between 0 and 200 firemen. For the purposes of this problem, you can treat the number of firemen as a continuous variable (it could be man-years). Consider the setup from Question 2. Suppose that the government recruits additional ?N firemen and taxes Ann and Bob equally to cover the cost. Therefore, the total number of firemen is ??+??+?MA+MB+N, where ??,??MA,MB are appropriate individually-optimal contributions of ?A and ?B(i.e., the agents behave optimally,…
