Suppose Billy is endowed with non-labor income of $1oo, and 40 hours to allocate between leisureand work. Assume he can earn $8 an hour in the labor market. As in class, assume the price of thecomposite consumption goodCis $1 per unit. Suppose Billy's utility function isu(R, C) =R2C,whereMUR= 2RCandMUC=R2. (a)Draw a graph of Billy's budget constraint and endowment bundle (make sure to label all axes,intercepts, bundles, slopes, etc.). (b)Solve for Billy's optimal bundle(R?, C?).
