2. Cindy gains utility from consumption C and leisure L. The most leisure she can consume in any given week is 80 hours. Her utility function is: U(CL)= (1/3) x L (2/3). a) Derive Cindy's marginal rate of substitution (MRS). Suppose Cindy receives $800 each week from her grandmother-regardless of how much Cindy works. What is Cindy's reservation wage? b) Suppose Cindy's wage rate is $30 per hour. Write down Cindy's budget line (including $800 received from her grandmother). Will...

Clark gains utility from consumption c and leisure l and his preferences for consumption and leisure...
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...

Kirpa is trying to decide how many hours to work each week. Her utility is given by the following function: U(C,H) = C2 H3 , where C represents weekly consumption and H represents weekly leisure hours. Her marginal utility with respect to consumption is MUc = 2CH3 , and her marginal utility with respect to leisure is MUH = 3C2 H2 . A) Find Kirpa's optimal H, L and C when w=$7.50 and a = $185. B) Suppose w increases...

The following table shows Ellie's utility from consuming slices
of cake and cans of Pepsi.
Suppose Ellie has $12 per week to spend on cake and Pepsi and that
the price of a slice of cake is $2.00.
1.) Use the point drawing tool to plot Ellie's demand for Pepsi
at a price of $2.00. Label this point 'A'.
2.) Use the point drawing tool to plot Ellie's demand for Pepsi
at a price of $4.00. Label this point 'B'....

1. Janet's utility depends on consumption c and leisure l. She earns a wage equal to w per hour, has an investment income equal to M(greater than or equal to) 0 and needs to sleep at least 8 hours a night. Normalize the price of consumption goods at $1. (i) Draw her indifference curves between hours of leisure and consumption, her budget line and her equilibrium choice of c and l. What is the slope of the budget line and...

4. Let a person's utility function over consumption, X, and leisure, L, be given by U = XL2, SO MUx = L2 and MUL = 2xL.The individual may work up to 24 hours per day at wage rate, w = $10 per hour, and he has non-labor income of $50 per day. The price of x, px, is $5. (a) Find the utility-maximizing x and L. (b) Show that at the utility- maximizing quantities of x and L, the consumer's...

4. Consider the consumption-leisure choice model we discussed in class. Suppose individual utility is represented by the function U(c, L) = min {c, 10L}, where c is consumption and L is leisure. Individuals have a total h = 16 hours that could be divided into work and leisure. Market wage rate is w = 10. (a) Sketch the individual’s indifference curve. (b) Find the optimal consumption and leisure choice. (c) Now suppose wage increases to w = 12. Find the...
