Wealth, w = $ 50
Income, Y = $ 100
Future income, Y* = $ 110
Interest rate, i= 10%
Present value of resources= w+ Y + Y*/(1+i)= 50+100+110/1.1
PVR = $ 250
In order to consume or to maintain same standard she must set her consumption equal to $ 250
Remember, C* = C(1+i)
C* + C(1.1)= 250*1.1
2C* = 275
C* = $ 137.5
Therefore, C = 137.5/1.1 = $ 125
Current Consumption, C = $ 125
Current saving = Y - C = 100 - 125
Current Saving = - $ 25.
Please let me know if you have any query. Will be obliged to help thank you.

Question 1 (3 Points): Assume a consumer has current-period income y = 120, future-period income y' = 140, current and future taxes t = 20 and t' = 10, respectively, and faces a market real interest rate of r = 0.08, or 8% per period. The consumer has the following preferences over current and future consumption: U(c, c') = min(4c, 3c'). a) (1 points) Determine the consumer's lifetime wealth. b) (2 points) Determine what the consumer's optimal current-period and future-period...

A consumer's income in the current period is y=100, and income in the future period is y' =120. He or she pays lump-sum taxes t =20 in the current period and t' =10 in the future period. The real interest rate is 0.1, or 10%, per period. Also assume that this consumer likes to consume the same amount of consumption each period, that is, c = c. Questions: a) [5 points] Calculate the lifetime wealth for this consumer. b) [4...

A consumer receives income y in the current period, income yœ in the future period, and pays taxes of t and t œ in the current and future periods, respectively. The consumer can borrow and lend at the real interest rate r. This consumer faces a constraint on how much he or she can borrow, much like the credit limit typically placed on a credit card account. That is, the consumer cannot borrow more than x, where x < we...
