Gina works at a diner. She has 100 hours each week to spend at labor/leisure, earns...
2a) Suppose Henley has 320 hours available each month to devote to either labor or leisure. Furthermore, suppose Henley has no nonlabor income and she can earn a wage of $35 per hour. Construct a diagram illustrating Henley's budget constraint (be sure to properly label each axis, identify any intercept values, etc.). (2 points) b) Assume Henley maximizes utility by working 120 hours per month. Label this bundle on the budget constraint above as bundle "A" (be sure to identify...
Jack gives each of his sister $600 in non-labor income per week. Each sister has 100 hours per week to spend on labor or leisure, and each can earn a wage of $30 per hour. part a. (4 points) Suppose Allison weekly utility function can be written as U=CL2, which gives her a marginal rate of substitution (MUL/MUC) equal to 2C/L. where C is the amount of consumption (in $) and L is the hours of leisure she gets in...
INCOME (Dollars) Kate has 80 hours per week to devote to working or to leisure. She is paid an hourly wage and can work at her job as many hours a week as she likes. The following graph illustrates Kate's weekly income-lelsure tradeoff. The three lines labeled BC, BC, and BC illustrate her time allocation budget at three different wages; points A, B, and C show her optimal time allocation choices along each of these constralints BC 1200 BC 800...
Jack gives each of his sister $600 in non-labor income per week. Each sister has 100 hours per week to spend on labor or leisure, and each can earn a wage of $30 per hour. part a. (4 points) Allison utility is more accurately represented by the function U=CL2, which gives her a marginal rate of substitution (MUL/MUC) equal to 2C/L. where C is the amount of consumption (in $) and L is the hours of leisure she gets in...
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...
Pat's wage rate is $6 per hour and she has a maximum of 100 hours per week to allocate between leisure and work. Without any welfare assistance program, Pat chooses to work 37.5 hours per week. a. Suppose Pat is eligible for welfare benefits of $225 per week, but benefits are reduced $1 for every $1 she earns. Draw the budget line (label all relevant values) and indifference curve that represents Pat's maximum utility under these circumstances. b. The structure...
This problem focuses on the labor supply effects of subsidies. Assume Ann gets utility from consumption c and leisure l. Ann chooses how many hours to supply to the labor market each day (h) but only has 16 hours per day for work and leisure (assuming 8 hours of sleep). For each hour she works, she earns an hourly wage w = 15. Assume Ann has no unearned income v = 0. 1. Write down Ann’s daily budget constraint in...
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...
3. Suppose earnings are given by E $70 $8(24 L), where E is earnings and L is the hours of leisure a. Draw the budget constraint b. How much would this person earn if she does not work at all? c. How many hours is this person working if her daily earnings are $142? d. How many hours of leisure is this person taking if her daily earnings are $142? e. Draw the indifference curve showing that earning $142 maximizes...
Emma’s wage rate is $10 per hour and she has a maximum of 100 hours per week to allocate between leisure and work. In the absence of any tax on wage earnings, Emma optimally chooses to work 40 hours per week. The following tax is imposed. Emma is not taxed on the first $240 earnings per week, but each dollar earned beyond that is taxed at 10%. Does the tax cause Emma to work more, work less, or have no...
