- Christopher has an income of K200 this year and he expects an
income of K110 next
year. He can borrow and lend money at an interest rate of 10%. Consumption goods cost K1 and there is no inflation.
- What is the present value of Christopher’s endowment?
- What is the future value of Christopher’s endowment?
- Suppose that Christopher has the utility function U =C1C2. Write down Christopher’s marginal rate of substitution.
- Set this slope equal to the slope of the budget line and solve for the consumption in period 1 and 2. Will he borrow or save in the first period.
- What will be the answer in (d) if the interest rate is now 20%. Will Christopher be better or worse off?
