1. Consider a two-period model in which you work and save in the initial period (period 0) and live off savings and the interest from savings in retirement (period 1). Suppose that income in period 0 is $250,000, income in period 1 is $0, and the interest rate is 50%. a. Draw the budget line. b. Draw an indifference curve consistent with a person whose preferences causes them to equalize their consumption in period 0 and period 1. c. Savings are $ d. Draw the after-tax budget line if a personal income tax is introduced with a marginal tax rate of t= 40%. e. Suppose that preferences are such that after tax consumption is equalized in period 0 and period 1. On the diagram show after-tax savings.

iii. Dr. Abida is planning for her requirement. Suppose she can consume her salary of Rs. 200,000 while she is in service or save her salary to consume it after retirement. When she saves her salary, she will get 8% interest on it. Draw Dr. Abida’s budget constraint, her indifference curve and her optimum. If interest rate goes up to 15%, draw figures to show when she will save more and when she will save less.
A person has a 2-period utility consumption function U(c1, c2), with a budget function W = c1+c2/1+ra. Explain with pictures how one should choose c1 and c2 such that MRS(from c1 to c2) equals 1+r.b. Also explain with pictures how when the individual receives income, whileconditions at that time was a crisis.
1. Rosie has just written a book. Assume that her preferences are consistent with expected utility theory. There is 30% chance that her book will be a best-seller and make $500,000 in profit (after the costs of production) and a 70% chance it will just break even (i.e. no profit after the costs of production). Her current income is $150,000 (which she will receive regardless of what happens with her book) and her utility function is u (I) = ln (I) (a) Is Rosie risk-averse, risk-neutral, or risk-loving? How do you know? (b) Assume that Rosie will receive all of the profits (if any) from her book. Draw a diagram illustrating (i) Rosie's total income if her book just breaks even, (ii) her total income if her book is a best-seller, (iii) her expected income, (iv) her expected utility, (v) her certainty equivalent, and (vi) her risk premium. (c) Compute the numerical values associated with each of the six amounts you found in (b). (d) Acme Publishing Company has offered Rosie $100,000 for…

1. Harvey Habit's utility function is U (C₁, C2) = min {c₁, c2}, where c₁ is his consumption of bread in period 1 and c₂ is his consumption of bread in period 2. The price of bread is $1 per loaf in period 1. The interest rate is 21%. Harvey earns $2,000 in period 1 and he will earn $1,100 in period 2. (a) Write Harvey's budget constraint in terms of future value. (b) How much bread does Harvey consume in the first period and how much money does he save?
6. If intertemporal preferences are consistent and the lifetime utility function is additive, then the discount function 8(t) must be (a) bounded (b) exponential (c) hyperbolic (d) linear (e) logarithmic
Exercise 3 An individual lives two periods, 0 and 1. The income is 14,000 in period 0 and 5,000 in period 1. The individual's marginal utility is: K- Co in period 0 and d8(K – C1) in period 1, where C is the consumption in period 0, C1 the consumption in period 1 and d a discount rate. K is a constant (higher than the consumption in each period). Suppose that the person can save or borrow from the bank from period 0 to period 1 with a 25% interest rate. Set the discount rate & to 0.8. a) How much will the individual consume in the two periods? How much will she save? b) A National Insurance scheme (pension system) is established. The individual must pay 4,500 in period 0 and receives the same amount with interests in addition to her income in period 1. What will the consumption and savings be in the two periods if the National Insurance scheme uses the same interest rate as the bank?
Consider a consumer that lives only for two periods. He works in period 1 (and gets income Y1) and moves up the corporate ladder in period 2 (and gets income Y1 < Y2). This consumer has the usual preferences over time: u(C1) + βu(C2) Assume that now the consumer is allowed to save or borrow. Write down the new budget constraint. What is the consumption in period 1 and period 2? Display graphically. Could the consumer be worse off? Could the consumer be better off? Draw budget constraints such that for one of them consumer prefers to borrow and for the other - prefers to save.

Dr.Farida is planning for her requirements. Suppose she can consume her salary of Rs. 100,000 while she is in service or save her salary to consume it after retirement. When she saves her salary she will get 10% interest on it. Draw Dr. Farida's budget constraint, her indifference curve and her optimum. If interest rate goes upto 20%, draw figures to show when she will save more and when she will save less.
Jien is just bored all the time; no amount of success makes him happy, it seems. Below is a list of his income for the last several years and the utility he experienced per dollar of income: Year Yearly Income Utility per Dollar Earned 2017 $60,000 2 utils 2018 $70,000 1.8 2019 $100,000 1.5 2020 $120,000 1 2021 $145,000 0.40 From the above, we can say that Jien most likely is different from most people economists study in terms of risk attitudes is "risk loving" will not take a fair bet has a utility of wealth curve that is a straight line
Consider the problem of a consumer who chooses between consuming goods and enjoying leisure in the current and future periods. Denote the consumption and leisure in the current period as C and l, and the consumption and leisure in the future period as C′ and l′, respectively. The preference is summarized by the following utility function: U(C,C′,l,l′)=lnC+ψlnl+β(lnC′ +ψlnl′). This individual is endowed with h units of time in each period. Wage rate per unit of labour time is w and w′ in the current and future period. In addition, the consumer receives profit transfer π and π′ and pays lump-sum taxes T and T′ in the current and future periods. Denote the saving in the current period as Sp. Answer the following questions. Derive the life-time budget constraint of this consumer. Set up the consumer’s problem. Solve for consumption (C and C′), leisure (l and l′), and saving (Sp). How does an increase in wage rate w affect C, Sp, and l?
