U(C1, C2) = c₁0.8 20.4 where c₁ is the quantity of current consumption goods and c₂ is the quantity of future consumption goods. Consider a consumer whose income is y₁ = 100 in the current period and y₂ = 140 in the future period. The consumer pays lump-sum taxes t₁ and t₂ == = 20 in the current period 10 in the future period. The real interest rate is r = 0.1, or 10%, per period. (a) Write down the consumer's budget constraint for each period and derive the consumer's lifetime budget constraint. What is the value of the consumer's lifetime wealth? [Note: Lifetime wealth is the present value of the consumer's lifetime disposable income] (b) Draw the lifetime budget line on the (C1, C2) plane with c₁ on the horizontal axis and C₂ on the vertical axis. Include the values of the intercepts and the endowment point in your graph. What is the slope of the budget line?
