Anu wants to put aside an amount at the beginning of each month while working for the next 5 years (60 months). At the end of 60 months, she wants to start a business and she plans to have a budget for it of at least $50,000. How much should she put aside each month if interest payable on her savings is 0.125% per month? [Hint: think about a Geometric Sequence (GP).] (Give your answer to 2 decimal places.)

2) Suppose there are two consumers in an economy: consumer A and consumer B. They have two goods (x and y) allocated between them. A has 5 units of x, B has 15 units of x. A has 5 units of y, B has 5 units of y. Consumers have identical utility functions given by U=x*y. a) Draw the Edgeworth box showing the current allocation of the two goods. Put consumer A in the lower left-hand corner, and consumer B in the upper right-hand corner. b) To your Edgeworth box add the two consumers' indifference curves going through the initial allocation point, clearly showing that the allocation is not efficient. Explain why it is not efficient, using the MRS calculations. c) Suggest a trade that would increase both consumers' utility. (Several correct answers are possible). Is your proposed allocation efficient? d) What does the contract curve look like in this economy? Derive its formula and add its graph to your Edgeworth box.

Q7: An individual lives for only two periods and has preferences given by the follow- ing intertemporal utility function: U = Ing₁ +aln(1 -h₁) + [Inc₂+aln(1 - h₂)] (1) where, c₁, c₂ denotes consumption in period 1 and period 2 respectively h₁, h₂ denote the labour supply in period 1 and 2 respectively. Therefore 1-h is the amount of leisure time in period 1. The term 3 is the discount factor. The problem of the individual at period 1 is to choose consumption in both periods and labour supply in both periods subject to the following budget constraints: +8= wh and c₂= w₂h₂ + (1+r)s where s denote the saving, w denotes the wates and r denotes the real interest rate. (a) Provide an economic interpretation of the two budget constraints written above. (b) Combine the two budget constraints written above and prove the economic interpretation of of life time budget constraint. (c) Set the Lagrangean function and find the first order conditions with respect to C₁ C₂, hi and h₂. (d) Find the…
