Consider an economy that is composed of identical individuals who live for two periods. These individuals have preferences over consumption in periods 1 and 2 given by U = /(C,) + (C2). They receive an income of 45 in period 1 and an income of 20 in period 2. They can save as much of their income as they like in bank accounts, earning an interest rate of 10% per period. They do not care about their children, so they spend all their money before the end of period 2. Each individual's lifetime budget constraint is given by C1 + C2/(1 + r) = Y1 + Y2/(1 + r). Individuals choose consumption in each period by maximizing lifetime utility subject to this lifetime budget constraint. (a) What is the individual's optimal consumption in each period? How much saving does he or she do in the first period? (b) The government has decided to set up a social security system. This system will take $10 from each individual in the first period, put it in the bank, and transfer it to each person with…
es Ergonomics Incorporated sells ergonomically designed office chairs. The company has the following information: Average demand = 31 units per day Average lead time = 45 days Item unit cost = $65 for orders of less than 350 units Item unit cost $63 for orders of 350 units or more Ordering cost = $40 Inventory carrying cost = 20% The business year is 250 days. a. How many chairs should the firm order each time? Assume there is no uncertainty at all about the demand or the lead time. b. What will the firm's average inventory be under each alternative? c. What will be the annual ordering and holding costs for each alternative?

Socioeconomic impacts of COVID-19 – can globalization prevail in the face of the impeding recession?As the COVID-19 crisis continues to deepen, the significant health and economic consequences of this disease is crippling even the most developed nations. With < 0.5% of globally confirmed cases occurring in Africa, the continent appears so far to be relatively spared the untoward direct health consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. The disease nonetheless has already had a destabilizing effect on the lives of millions of Africans with disproportionate impact on the poor and underserved. The interconnectedness that characterizes globalization has brought economic benefits to many African countries. With COVID-19, there have been disruptions in Africa’s global supply chains in the face of tumbling oil prices and a lowered global demand for African non-oil products, which constitutes a threat to the economic stability of the continent. Projected losses from oil shocks alone may result…
= Questions 1.6 and 1.7 refer to a consumer with preferences over lotteries represented by the Bernoulli utility function u(x) √4x, who receives two job offers, X and Y, that pay wages that depend on whether the economy enters a boom (A), maintains its actual growth (B) or enters a recession (C). Specifically, X pays (A, B, x℃) = (64, 16,0) and Y pays (YA, YB, YC) = (36, 16, 16). The probabilities of scenarios A, B and C are pA = 1/4, PB 1/2 and pc = 1/4, respectively. = 1.6.

QUESTION 2 Think the two-period model for coals. Suppose a demand schedule is P = 80 - 0.5Q and a supply schedule is MC = 10 + 0.5Q, for a two-period model. Period 1 is current time and period 2 is future, a year later. Annual discount rate is 20%. The supply of coals is limited to 100 units. The dynamically efficient quantities for period 1 and 2 are Q₁= and Q2= respectively. The dynamically efficient prices for period 1 and 2 are P₁ = and P2= respectively. Hint: Round the numbers to two decimal places.
Consider the model where an individual has wealth k which they can either save or consume. If they save it, they receive a fixed and exogenous return r. The instantaneous utility function is given by: u(c, k) = c + a(k) where c is consumption, k is wealth, and a(k) is a function that defines the utility that an individual gets from holding wealth. The growth in wealth is given as the returns on wealth rk, plus income from working z(t), minus consumption c(t). a. Write out the differential equation for wealth. b. For an infinite time model, set up the optimal control problem with discounting at a rate 8. c. Write the current-valued Hamiltonian of this problem. d. Derive the steady-state level of consumption.
Assume that the production function for a country is given by Y=√K and annual investment is given by the function I=γ×YI where γ=0.280, and that the yearly depreciation rate is 4.67%. Suppose that this year, the output in the country is 1, and a neighbor country's output is 50% higher. Calculate the time it would take for the country's output to catch up with its neighbor's output. Assume the neighbor country's economy is neither growing nor shrinking.
Therefore, the farm must produce 80,000 - 40,000 = 20,000 fewer tons of D1 durians in 2023. Why is 80,000-40,000=20,000? not equal to 40,000?
If a forecast made using all available information is NOT perfectly accurate, then it is an adaptive expectation. not a rational expectation. still a rational expectation. a second-best expectation.
Suppose that private savings and investment functions are given by: S = −c0 + (1 − c1)(Y − T) I = b0 + b1Y with G = T = 0. Assume 0 < b1 < 1−c1 < 1 (i.e. that slope of the savings curve is steeper than that of the investment curve). (a) Model Basics: Draw a graph of the investment=savings model with S,I on the vertical axis, and Y on the horizontal axis. Clearly label the 1) specific values of each intercept, 2) specific values of the slopes of each curve. (b) Suppose consumers choose to save more by reducing consumption at any given level of income, so that c0 declines. Show this on the graph. What are the effects of this change on 1) output, 2) the level of private savings, 3) the level of investment. (c) Briefly describe the economic intuition behind your results. Why is this called the paradox of thrift? (1-2 sentences is fine). (d) Deriving the Model: Show that the equilibrium condition Y = C + I + G implies I = S + T − G
