Today she can either con- sume or save for retirement. During her young, working life she will make 100.000 euros. Thus, her current budget constraint is Cy + S = 100.000. In her retirement she has no income, only the amount she saved as young. She can save at a rate of (1+r). So, her budget constraint as old is Co = (1+r)S. (a) Write Mary's lifetime budget constraint as plot it in a graph. Tip: Solve for savings while old and substitute in the young budget constraint. (b) Mary's utility from consumption as young and consumption as old is U(Cy,Co) = 1-0 Solve Mary's maximization problem. What is the MRS and the MRT? (c) Suppose Mary wins the lottery while young. What is the effect on her optimal decision for consumption as young and as old? (d) The local bank decided to increase the interest rate on savings. Discuss the effect of this increase…arrow_forward

The Porsche has a fuel economy of 15 miles per gallon (mpg) and she plans to drive it 3,000 miles this year. The Toyota gets 30 miles per gallon and she plans to drive it 15,000 miles this year. Suppose Kim can install a device that improves the fuel economy of any vehicle by 5 miles per gallon. However, she only has one of the devices. Which vehicle should she install it on if her goal is to minimize fuel consumption this year? Assume that the device does not hamper vehicle performance in any way.arrow_forwardFor each example listed, decide if the good is a normal good or an inferior good.
