12) Why do consumers smooth consumption?
A) To maximize today’s consumption
B) To maximize lifetime consumption
C) To maximize lifetime utility
D) To minimize debt
E) None of above
Customer smooth consumption simply meaning to have stability in the future in terms of consumer consumption
Their consumption increases or decreases as their income level behaves
So to have a proper accuracy and stability in the future, they focus on smooth consumption
Their main goal is not to maximize the total today's consumption because this violate the Rationality concept.
It is not related with the debt
Hence the correct answer is is option B

As the consumption of a good increases, total utility falls but marginal utility rises. C. As the consumption of a good increases, total utility falls. D. As the consumption of a good increases, total utility rises, but marginal utility falls.
1. In partial equilibrium analysis in a product market, a single market is being examined in isolation to understand the relationship between: A. How a product's price coordinates economic transactions between at least one consumer and at least one firm. B. How a product's price coordinates profit between at least one consumer and at least one firm. C. How a product's price coordinates cost between at least one consumer and at least one firm. D. How a product's price coordinates...
Consumption-Savings Consider a consumer with a lifetime utility function U = u(Ct) + _u(Ct+1) that satisfies all the standard assumptions listed in the book. The period t and t + 1 budget constraints are Ct + St = Yt Ct+1 + St+1 = Yt+1 + (1 + r)St (a) What is the optimal value of St+1? Impose this optimal value and derive the lifetime budget constraint. (b) Derive the Euler equation. Explain the economic intuition of the equa- tion. (c)...

Page 4 of 8 11. On a smooth horizontal plane, two mass blocks, of 2.0 kg and 6.0 kg, respectively, are initially tied by a light string with a compressed spring in between. After the string is cut, it is found that the 6 kg block moves at 2.0 m/s to the right (see picture). What is the potential energy stored in the spring before the string is cut? 2.00 m/s SM зм...

3. Consider two consumers, A and B, who both maximize the same logarithmic utility function, U = In 1 + In C2, and face the same real interest rate, r=.04: Consumer Y1-TI Y2-T2 A 20,000 10,400 10000 20, 800 What are the levels of C1, C2 and saving in period 1 for each? Suppose both face a borrowing constraint that limits borrowing to no more than 1000. Now describe the consumption choices for each. Explain. With the constraint in place,...
3) he theory of consumer behavior assumes that consumers attempt to maximize A) marginal utility. 1) the difference between total and marginal utility. C) average utility. D) total utility. 34) The law of diminishing marginal utility states that A) beyond some point, additional units of a product will yield less and less extra satisfaction to a consumer. B) price must be lowered to induce firms to supply more of a product C) it will take larger and larger amounts of...
