Homework Answers
a. Budget constraint:
C1*1.21+ C2= 1.21M1+ M2
C1,C2 are consumption in period 1 and 2.
M1,M2 are income in period 1 and 2.
b. From utility function, we know c1=c2
c1*1.21+c1= 1.21*2000+1100=
2.21c1= 2420+1100
C1*= 1592.76
That means he saves $2000-$1592.76= $407.23

Doug lives for two periods. In the first period of his life he earns income Y1. The value of Y1 was determined by your student number. In the second period of his life, Doug is retired and does not earn any income. Doug’s decision is how much of his period one income should he save (S) in order to consume in period two. For every dollar that Doug saves in period one he has (1 + r) dollars available to...

Question 1: Two-period model where Ci and C2 are perfect substitutes 1. Draw the budget constraint with Yi- 100, Y2 60, and 0.2 2. Draw the indifference curves for the preference that is represented by the lifetime utility function G +SC, where β-1. Do it for various levels of lifetime utility, such as 100, 150. and 200. 3. Using the budget constraint and the indifference curves, determine the optimal values of Ci and C2. Does the household have positive consumption...

2. An review of intertemporal optimization: Suppose a consumer's utility function is given by U(c,2) where ci is consumption in period 1 and ca is consumption in perio You can assume that the price of consumption does not change between periods 1 and 2. The consumer has $100 at the beginning of period 1 and uses this money to fund consumption across the two periods (i.e. the consumer does not gain additional income...
