Only need the first three questions answered 

Consider a two-period sticky-price economy populated by identical house-
holds with preferences defined over consumption in period 1, Ci and consumption
in period 2, C2, and described by the utility function:
In Ci Bn C2
where Ci denotes consumption in period 1, C2 denotes consumption in period 2,
and B1/1.1 is the subjective discount factor. Let P and P2 denote the price
levels in periods 1 and 2, respectively. Assume prices are fixed at P P2 = 1.
Households have income in the amount of PYi dollars in period 1 and P2Y2 dollars
in period 2. Households can save in period 1 for the next period. Let Sidenote the
households savings in dollars in period 1. The nominal interest rate for the saving
is i
Potential output, denoted Y is 10 kilograms of apples. Firms satisfy demand
up to the potential output. Assume that the economy is always in full employment
in period 2 (the long run). The central bank uses the nominal interest rate, denoted
i, as its monetary instrument. The nominal interest rate is subject to the zero lower
bound (ZLB).
1. Write the households budget constraint in period 1
