Robinson Crusoe’s utility for leisure (R) and coconuts (C) is U = R*C. He has 48 hours to allocate between labor (L) and leisure (R). His production function is C = L0.5. (i) How many hours will Crusoe choose to labor? (ii) Draw a roughly accurate (fully labeled) graph that illustrates this scenario.

4. (25 pts) Robinson Crusoe is trying to survive by either gathering coconuts (C) or fish (F). The technologies available for these two production pro- cesses are given by: C = Lc and F = 3LF where Lc is the amount of labor (time) used for gathering coconuts and LF is the amount of labor (time) used for gathering fish. The total time (L) is 10 hours per day, i.e. Lc+LF = L = 10. Robinson Crusoe's preferences are given...

ROBINSON CRUSOE ACTIVITY Robinson Crusoe lives alone on an island. He has some resources at his disposal: LAND: Some of the land is rocky and better suited for raising sheep. Other parts of the land are better suited for growing wheat. SHEEP Up to 10 Hours a day of light for working Robinson produces cloth (from his sheep) and he grows wheat to produce bread. If Robinson uses all 10 of his work hours he has the following possibilities: Possibility...

Clark gains utility from consumption c and leisure l and his preferences for consumption and leisure can be expressed as U(c, l) = 2(√ c)(l). This utility function implies that Clark’s marginal utility of leisure is 2√ c and his marginal utility of consumption is l √ c . He has 16 hours per day to allocate between leisure (l) and work (h). His hourly wage is $12 after taxes. Clark also receives a daily check of $30 from the...

Problem #1: Optimal labor supply Clark gains utility from consumption c and leisure l and his preferences for consumption and leisure can be expressed as U(c, l) = 2(√ c)(l). This utility function implies that Clark’s marginal utility of leisure is 2√ c and his marginal utility of consumption is l √ c . He has 16 hours per day to allocate between leisure (l) and work (h). His hourly wage is $12 after taxes. Clark also receives a daily...

) Bob is deciding how much labour he should supply. He gets utility from consumption of beer (given by C) and from leisure time (given by L), which he spends hanging out with his friend Doug. This utility is given by the following utility function: U(C, L) = ln(C) + θ ln(L) where the value of θ was determined by your student number and ln(C) denotes the natural logarithm of consumption etc. Given this utility function, Bob’s marginal utility from...

Bob is deciding how much labour he should supply. He gets utility from consumption of beer (given by C) and from leisure time (given by L), which he spends hanging out with his friend Doug. This utility is given by the following utility function: U(C, L) = ln(C) + 10 ln(L). Given this utility function, Bob’s marginal utility from consumption is given by: MUC = ∂U ∂C = 1 C and his marginal utility from leisure is given by: MUL...
