Jack's marginal utility of consumption is MUc = L - 6, and the marginal utility of leisure is MUL=C-40. Jack does not have any nonlabor income, i.e., V = 0. Jack faces a $48 an hour wage rate. Jack's total number of hours available per week is 150. What is Jack's optimal choice of consumption? (calculate to 2 decimal places)
Winona has 80 hours to divide between leisure and labor. Her utility function is u(r,c) = f(r) + c, when r represents hours of leisure,c represents dollars of consumption, and f is strictly concave. Winona’s wage is w0= $15/hr. initially, then it rises to w1= $20/hr.
(i) Explain what happens to Winona’s labor supply when the wage rises,and why.
(ii) Explain how the answer to (i) would change if Winona were to win a lottery.
For a housing burden, what percentage of a household's income is being used to pay off housing costs?

- A worker has no non-labor income and is earning $14/hour. He maximizes utility by working 40 hours per week. Begin by drawing a graph that illustrates this to be the utility-maximizing solution. The same worker loses his job. He is entitled to unemployment compensation that will pay up to 50% of his weekly earnings. The worker has an opportunity to supplement his unemployment compensation by taking a job that pays $7/hour. Using the same graph, show the worker's new budget line and his utility-maximizing decision as whether to work the new job and how many hours to work. Make sure your graph shows the relevant budget lines and indifference curves.arrow_forwardSuppose that the price of scones = $3, coffee costs $2.5 per cup, and average annual disposable income for students is $15,000.

Use a labor-leisure analysis to compare the effects on the hours he works from a marginal tax rate on his wage, α, or a lump-sum tax (a tax collected regardless of the number of hours he works), T. If the per-hour tax is used, he works 10 hours and earns (1-x)10w. The government sets T = α10w, so that it earns the same from either tax. The budget constraint without taxes L¹ is illustrated in the figure to the right. Let the price of a unit of consumption be $1.00 such that 10w units of consumption correspond to income of $10w. 1.) Use the line drawing tool to draw the new budget constraint with an income tax. Label this line 'L''. 2.) Use the line drawing tool to draw the new budget constraint with a lump-sum tax. Label this line 'LL'. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. Y, Goods per day 10w 10w(1-tax rate) Time constraint 10: L, Leisure hours per dayarrow_forward
- Fill in the blanks and round to 2 decimals where needed. Katie has 75 hours per week to allocate to leisure or work. She has a job that pays $30 per hour, she has $150 nonlabour income per week and the price of the (composite) consumption good is p=$1. Her preferences are given by U(C,L) = ½ C L. Katie's reservation wage is $ 30 and she prefers to work 87.5 hours per week. If Katie's nonlabour income rises to $210, she would prefer to work 68 hours per week. If Katie's hourly wage was to rise to $40, she would prefer to work 72 hours per week (with the original Yn=150). Considering the change in hours in response to the wage rise, the effect clearly dominates the effect.arrow_forwardConsider an economy in which every person’s utility function takes the form Here, c is consumption and h is hours of work. The parameter θ varies across individuals. Within the economy, θ is uniformly distributed on the unit interval. Each unit of consumption goods costs $1, and the wage rate is $2. a) Assume that there are no taxes or subsidies within the economy. How much work does a person of any type θ do? What is his consumption and what is his utility? If a lump-sum tax were imposed upon him, or a lump-sum subsidy given to him, how would that tax or subsidy affect his hours of work, consumption and utility? b) People with low values of θ find work difficult. (A low θ might be interpreted as a physical disability which hampers a person’s ability to earn an income.) Suppose that the government decides to assist the people for whom θ is less than 1/4. Unfortunately, it cannot directly observe each person’s θ, so it instead…arrow_forwardJasmine can work as much as 64 hours per week. She receives $200 per week in non-wage income.
