- Consider an individual aged 64 who is eligible to collect full social security (public pension) benefits of $6000 for a year. She has no other income, but can work at a weekly wage rate of $600 for a maximum of 52 weeks. Receipt of benefits from the social security program is retirement-tested. Specif- ically, the individual can earn up to $9000 in annual wage income without a reduction in benefits; how- ever, after $9000 of earnings, benefits are reduced by 50 percent for every dollar earned, until the ben- efits are exhausted. a. Carefully draw and label the budget constraint for this individual. b. Consider an individual whose labour supply decision is such that she receives YA in social security benefits, so that 0 , YA , $6000 (i.e., she receives positive but reduced benefits). On the carefully labelled diagram from part (a), show her labour supply decision. c. “Elimination of the retirement test (i.e., allowing the individual to keep all benefits, irrespective of his or her…Suppose Jenny has 16 hours per day to allocate between work and leisure and she earns a wage rate of $25 per hour.

Cannot be determined with the information provided.Consider a family where both the husband and wife work, and assume each spouse ha three more years to work (after the current year) before retirement. Following Table indicates the projected combined salary over the remaining working years if they each stay with their currentemployers. It also shows the combined salary they can expect if they relocate and change employers. Year Combined salaryat Current Job Combined salaryat New Job 1 $80,000 $83,000 2 $82,000 $87,000 3 $85,000 $92,000 Suppose the total cost of moving, including direct expenses, foregone earnings, and psychic costs(costs of leaving friends, coworkers, familiar surroundings, etc.) total $10,000. Assume all costs areincurred during the current year (year 0). a. If the discount rate is equal to the market interest rate of 6%, is this investment in mobility worthwhile?
- 1. The absolute value of the slope of the consumption-leisure budget line is the after-tax wage, W. Suppose some workers (L1) earn W for up to 40 hours of work each week, and then earn 2W for any hours worked thereafter (called overtime). Other workers (L2) earn W for up to 40 hours of work each week, and then only earn 0.5W thereafter as working more than 40 hours requires getting a second job which pays an hourly wage less than their primary job. Both types of workers experience a “kink” in their consumption-leisure budget line. A. Refer to graph. Which one of the statements below describes the consumption-leisure budget line for L1 and L2 a. L2 budget line is CBT-40 b. L2 budget line is ABT c. L1 budget line is CBT d. L1 budget line is ABT B. Refer to graph. Which type of worker is likely to work up to the point of the kink? a. L1 b. L2 C. Refer yo graph. Which type of worker is likely to choose a consumption-leisure bundle far away from the kink a. L1 b. L2Suppose that the government introduces an EITC such that for the first $8,000 in earnings, the government pays 50¢ per dollar on wages earned. For the next $3,000 of earnings, the credit is held constant at $4,000, and after that point, the credit is reduced at a rate of 20¢ per dollar earned. When the credit reaches zero, there is no additional EITC. Furthermore assume a worker who can work up to 4,000 hours per year at an hourly wage of $10 per hour. 1. The benefit of EITC will disappear at how many hours of leisure? (use just numbers) 2. When the EITC disappears how much does the worker get to consume (do not use $ sign)Consider a worker who is endowed with T hours of time and investment income V per week, faces a wage rate w per hour, and whose preferences over the consumption of goods, the price of a unit of which is p, and leisure can be represented by the utility function U(C,L) = C1/2L1/2. Find the worker’s labour supply. When is it positive? Will the worker ever work more than half their time endowment? (25%)
