We make the three following statements: S1: The CME for b is the value m such that u(m)=E[u(b(p,s,t))]. S2: A risk averse attitude corresponds to the case CME smaller than E[b(p,s,t))].

- Suppose that you have two opportunities to invest $1M. The first will increase the amount invested by 50% with a probability of 0.6 or decrease it with a probability of 0.4. The second will increase it by 5% for certain. You wish to split the $1M between the two opportunities. Let x be the amount invested in the first opportunity with (1-x) invested in the second. Find the optimal value of x. Using expected value as the criterion (linear utility) Using the flowing utility function: u(x)=2.3 ln〖(1+4.5x)1- A consumer who starts (i.e. has an endowment) at point B, and has preferences shown by IC1, will want to borrow. Select one: True False 2-Assuming a mix of present and future consumption is preferred, ANY consumer who starts (i.e. has an endowment) at point A will gain utility from a rise in interest rates. Select one: True False 3-A consumer who starts at point B will want to borrow, but as little as possible in order to minimise the cost of interest. Select one: True False 4-If a consumer starts at point A, and then receives extra income in the present, this would appear as an outward shift of the budget constraint. Select one: True FalseEmma has a utility function U(x1, x2, x3) = log x1 + 0.8 log x2 + 0.72 log x3 over her incomes x1, x2, x3 in the next three years.

- Assume that someone has inherited 2,000 bottles of wine from a rich uncle. He or she intends to drink these bottles over the next 40 years. Suppose that this person’s utility function for wine is given by u(c(t)) = (c(t))0.5, where c(t) is each instant t consumption of bottles. Assume also this person discounts future consumption at the rate δ = 0.05. Hence this person’s goal is to maximize 0ʃ40 e–0.05tu(c(t))dt = 0ʃ40 e–0.05t(c(t))0.5dt. Let x(t) represent the number of bottle of wine remaining at time t, constrained by x(0) = 2,000, x(40) = 0 and dx(t)/dt = – c(t): the stock of remaining bottles at each instant t is decreased by the consumption of bottles at instant t. The current value Hamiltonian expression yields: H = e–0.05t(c(t))0.5 + λ(– c(t)) + x(t)(dλ/dt). This person’s wine consumption decreases at a continuous rate of ??? percent per year. The number of bottles being consumed in the 30th year is approximately ???Emma has a utility functionU(x1, x2, x3) = logx1+ 0.8 logx2+ 0.72 logx3over her incomes x1, x2, x3 in the next three years.

- 1. Use budget constraints to express consumption levels, ct and ct+1. (Hint: Use income conditions given above in the budget constraint. Notice that there are two possible states in the second period.)2. Rewrite the utility maximization problem as choosing the optimal at alone. (Hint: Replace ct and ct+1 in the utility function with your answers from point 1. Use probabilities to derive the expected value in the utility function. Remember that a random variable that takes values x1 in state one with probability p and x2 in state two with probability 1 − p has the expected value E [x] = p.x1 + (1 − p).x2)3.

The utility functions of each consumer are given by: UA(X,Y) = 2X + Y UB(X,Y) = Min(X,Y) The initial endowments are: A: X = 5; Y = 3 B: X = 2; Y = 2 a. Illustrate the initial endowments in an Edgeworth Box. Be sure to label the Edgeworth Box carefully and accurately, and make sure the dimensions of the box are correct. Also, draw each consumer’s indifference curve that runs through the initial endowments. Is this initial endowment Pareto Efficient? b. Now suppose Consumer A gets all of both goods. Is this allocation Pareto Efficient? (You do not need to draw a new graph or illustrate this on the existing graph. Simply answer “yes” or “no.”) c. Now suppose Consumer B gets all of both goods. Is this allocation Pareto Efficient? (You do not need to draw a new graph or illustrate this on the existing graph. Simply answer “yes” or “no.”)
