A consumer who starts at point B will want to borrow, but as little as possible in order to minimise the cost of interest. is it true or false
Suppose that there are only 10 individuals in the economy each with the following utility function over present and future consumption: U (c1, c2) = c1 +C2, where ci is consumption today, and c2 is consumption tomorrow. Consumption tomorrow is less valued because people are impatient and prefer consuming now rather than later. Buying 1 unit of consumption today costs $1 today and buying 1 unit of consumption tomorrow costs $1 tomorrow. All individuals have income of $10 dollars today and no income tomorrow (because they will be retired) but they can save at the market interest rater> 0.
How much of his or her income will an individual consume today given that the interest rate is 0.3?
O. Less than half of it
O. Exactly half of it
O. The individual is indifferent between consuming today and saving
O. More than half of it
O. All of it
O. None of it

- Suppose you are considering whether to purchase a house off of Lake Erie for $400,000. You expect the total costs of maintaining the property (utilities, repairs, etc.) to equal $15,000/year, and that you would be able to generate $35,000/year in revenue if you were to put the house on the short term rental market. Suppose you are deciding between purchasing the home or whether to invest $400,000 in an interest-bearing account. If your objective is to maximize your own net income, what would the interest rate have to equal for you to invest in the interest-bearing account? Can you help me just figure out how to set this up? I get that we need the investment to equal 20k but not sure on how to figure out interest rates.arrow_forwardSuppose you are considering whether to purchase a house off of Lake Erie for $400,000.

Suppose you decide to buy the house, and now you have to decide whether/when to list the house on the short term rental market (like Airbnb) or stay in the house yourself. Briefly explain what this decision would depend on. What are the implicit (opportunity) costs associated with renting the house to someone else on a given day? What are the implicit costs associated with the staying in the house yourself?…arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about adjustable-rate mortgages is TRUE? Interest rates can't change over the life of the mortgage. Adjustable-rate mortgages are especially attractive to high-income buyers. Adjustable-rate mortgages usually have interest rates lower than market rates during the first year.

- You have k20per week to spend and two possible uses for this money,:telephoning friends back home and drinking coffee. Each hour of phoning costs k2 and each cup of coffee costs k1. Your utility functions U(X,Y)=XY,where X is the hours of phoning you do and Y the number of cups of coffee you drink.

Wade was much older than Dana and knew he needed to offer something “special” to make her stay. Wade told Dana that if she continued dating him, he would pay her $10,000 a month.

She wanted the $60,000 she was owed for the six months; Wade refused to pay her. Is Dana entitled to the $60,000?arrow_forward
