3. Consumption function and non-income determinants The following graphs show an economy's initial position at point A along its consumption function (C). Suppose there is a decrease in the interest rate households pay for items bought on credit, such as cars or housing. On the graph, shift either the consumption curve or the initial point on the consumption function to show the impact of a decrease in the interest rate. (Note: In the scenario where the curve shifts, only shift the curve and do not adjust the position of the point.) RE AL CONSUMPTION (Billions of dollars) с REAL DISPOSABLE INCOME (Billions of dollars) Now suppose that disposable income increases. A On the following graph, shift either the consumption curve or the initial point on the consumption function to show the impact of an increase in disposable income. (Note: In the scenario where the curve shifts, only shift the curve and do not adjust the position of the point.)

Question 4 Explain how does a decrease in the current income y affect the consumer's consumption-saving decision. In particular, explain: 1) How will current consumption c, future consumption c', and savings s change; 2) Are there any substitution effect or income effect. Make sure you draw two figures, one for the borrowers and one for the lenders.

Course: Introduction to Microeconomics Topic: Intertemporal Consumption DecisionsA consumer makes decision to consume in this year and next year. This year she has an income of M1 = $ 1.5 million and next year her income will be M2 = $ 2.75 million. Interest rate is 10%. Her intertemporal preferences are represented by function U(c1, c2) = c1*c2, whose intertemporal marginal rate of substitution is IMRS = c2/c1.a) Find and graph Budget Constraintb) Find and graph optimal consumption basket and indicate whether the consumer SAVES or BORROWS in the FIRST YEAR.c) Indicate whether following statement is true or false: "Any increase in interest rate will cause a decrease in consumer's welfare" Justify.d) If next year's income is maintained, how much would this year's income have to be for consumer to neither save nor borrow money at 10% interest rate?e) How much would interest rate have to be for consumer to consume exactly her initial endowment (M1 = $ 1.5 million and M2 = $ 2.75…
Use the black line (plus symbols) to plot the line illustrating the combinations of salad and pizza that Andrew can purchase with a budget of $30.00. PIZZA (Slices) 14 12 10 00 4 2 O to 0 2 4 8 8 SALAD (Bowls) 10 12 14 Initial Budget New Budget ? Now suppose Andrew's income is cut in half: That is, he has 50% less money to spend than he did before. On the previous graph, use the blue line (circle symbols) to plot Andrew's new budget constraint. Which of the following statements best summarizes the pattern of causality captured by the graph above? Check all that apply. The relationship between S and P is not a causal relationship. A change in E causes a shift of the budget constraint. A change in S causes a change in P. A change in P causes a change in S.
1. [35 marks] An individual derives utility from consumption spending C and leisurel according to the following utility function: U(C,1)=C"1¹-a where 0>x>1. Leisure time in hours is given by: 1=T-H where T is hours of total time available and H is hours of work. The consumer's real income is given by: C=w (T-1)+N where w is real wage and N is real non-labour income. a) Derive the optimal values of C, I and the Lagrangian multiplier if the individual wishes maximise utility subject to the to constraint: C=w (T-1)+N.

assume you are given a $100 raise, and decide to save $20 of that money. also assume that if you make zero income in a year, you will still spend $7000. a.) what is your consumption function? b.) if you earn $20000 in a year how much will you spend? c.) will you be able to save while earning the above income?
Draw a diagram to describe this: Marginal consumption Cm decreases -> The amount of money consumed C also decreases => Household saving S (Saving) increases because S = Yd - C -> The supply of loanable funds increases (due to an increase in household savings) -> the lending interest rate decreases (in the condition that the demand for loan funds remains constant)
The following table contains data on the relationship between saving and income. Rearrange these data into a meaningful order and graph them on the accompanying grid. What is the slope of the line? The vertical intercept? Interpret the meaning of both the slope and the intercept. Write the equation that represents this line. What would you predict saving to be at the $12,500 level of income?

Course: Microeconomics - Intertemporal Consumption Decisions Consider a person who consumes in the 2 periods (C1 and C2), but ONLY works and earns an income in the first period (C1). Assume that consumption in each period behaves as a normal good.a) What is the effect of a rise in income on welfare? And on consumption in both periods? GRAPHb) What is the effect of a rise in the interest rate (assume that r goes from 10% to 15%) that occurs before the consumption decisions on welfare? GRAPH and on consumption in both periods?)

4. Mateo is deciding how many dollars to consume today and how many to consume next week. We earns $1,000 each week and earns a real interest rate of p = 0.01 on any money saved today. He also needs to pay the same interest rate if he borrows money today and repays it next week. If his utility function is U (C₁, C₂) = cc₂, where c₁ is units of consumption today and c₂ is units of consumption next week, how many units will he consume this week?
