Homework Answers
Q1) option a)
the Slope of intertemporal budget constraint = -(1+r)
= -1.05
Q2) option e)
at eqm in intertemporal utility maximization problem
MRS = (1+r)
MRS = MUc/MUc`
= C`/bC
So , C`/bC = (1+r)
C`/C = b(1+r)
So Consumption will increase over time if
C`>C
C`/C > 1
So, b(1+r) > 1

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...
