- Let us denote Ben’s daily hours of work by H, and his hours of leisure by N = 24 − H. Suppose that Ben’s only source of income is wages for hours worked. He derives utility from leisure, N, and from the consumption of a composite good, Y. The price of Y is 1. Ben’s utility function is U(Y, N) = ln(Y) + ln(N). (a) Suppose the wage rate is $60 per hour. Write down Ben’s constraint with Y and N as the choice variables.Consider a person with the utility function U (C, L) = (1 − α) log C + α log L, where L is leisure time and C is consumption of other goods measured in dollars. The person has V dollars of non-labor income and a wage of w. There are T hours available for either working or leisure. 1. Write down the person’s budget constraint. Draw a graph representing this constraint, taking care to label the axes and key points. 2. What are the person’s marginal utilities for consumption and leisure? What is her marginal rate of substitution between leisure and consumption in terms of C, L, and α? 3.

How does C ∗ change as you increase wage…Susan obtains utility by consuming carrots C and enjoying leisure L. Suppose that she has a daily non-wage income Y of £100 and is paid a fixed hourly wage rate of £10 for every hour she works in a local coffee shop. Assume that Susan is a utility maximiser and is free to choose x hours of work per day where 0 ≤ x ≤ 10. Assume also that the unit price of C is £1. a) Suppose that L is measured on the horizontal axis and C on the vertical axis. Use these axes to draw the set of all C and L combinations that Susan can choose from. Write down Susan’s budget equation. b) Suppose that Susan’s preferences over carrots and leisure are expressed by the following utility function: U(C,L) = min{C, 10L}. Calculate Susan’s optimal consumption bundle, both algebraically and graphically. Calculate the value of MRS at the optimal choice. c) Suppose instead that Susan’s preferences are such that indifference curves in the L-C space are strictly convex to the origin, and that she chooses to work 5…
