can you please solve this question for me 7. Consider a representative consumer that has preferences over bundles of consumptiongoods c, and leisure l. The consumer's preferences satisfy the properties: more is pre-ferred to less; preference for diversity; normality. The consumer is endowed with anendowment of total hours h. Let the consumer's real wage per hour worked in terms ofthe consumption good be w. Real firm profits, which are distributed to consumers asdividends, are denoted II. The real lump-sum taxes paid by consumers to the governmentare T. Assume that II > T.(a) Derive the consumer's budget constraint and draw it on a carefully labeled dia-gram. Show the optimal choice for the representative consumer. Explain what thecondition that holds at the optimum is.(b) Suppose now that in addition the government imposes a proportional income taxT < 1 on wage income. What is the effect of the proportional income tax rate on theconsumer's choices of consumption and leisure, as well as on his welfare? Explainthe results in terms of substitution and income effects.(c) Suppose now that in (a) consumption and leisure are perfect complements and theconsumer always wants to consume two units of consumption goods for every unitof leisure. Show the consumer's optimum on a graph. Derive algebraically solutionsfor c and at the optimum and explain how they depend on lump-sum taxes.
