1Ā Ā Ā Dr. Abida is planning for her requirement. Suppose she can consume her salary of Rs. 200,000 while she is in service or save her salary to consume it after retirement. When she saves her salary, she will get 8% interest on it. Draw Dr. Abidaās budget constraint, her indifference curve and her optimum.
2Ā Ā If interest rate goes up to 15%, draw figures to show when she will save more and when she will save less.

K Suppose a farmer in Georgia begins to grow peaches. He uses $1,000,000 in savings to purchase land, he rents equipment for $80,000 a year, and he pays workers $150,000 in wages. In return, he produces 100,000 baskets of peaches per year, which sell for $3.00 each. Suppose the interest rate on savings is 2 percent and that the farmer could otherwise have earned $35,000 as a shoe salesman. What is the farmer's economic profit? The peach farmer earns economic profit of $ (Enter your response as an integer.)

The claim is that, as a result, people are choosing to work fewer hours (at a given wage rate and level of unearned income) than did individuals in the past. This can be indicated by changes in individuals' indifference curves. Show such a change in indifference curves on graph with the consumption good on the Y-axis and leisure on the X-axis. How does the slope of the indifference curve change at a given level of leisure? (It may be useful to draw a simple budget constraint to indicate the change in hours of work.)

You bought a personal computer, and paid $5,000 for it. However, due to the cost changes in the computer industry, the current price of an equivalent machine is $2,500. You could sell any used machine for $1,000. If you were not word processing, you could earn $20,000 per year at an alternative job. Assume that the interest rate is 10%. You can also hire an assistant who can do everything that you can do for $20,000 per year (you would still continue to do word processing). One person using one computer can produce 11,000 typed pages per year, and the price per page for your service is $2. You are considering three options: (A) expand your business by hiring an assistant; (B) leave your business the way it is; (C) shut down.
