![05 Suppose that Mingsongs utility function for inter-temporal co is: U(CO,C1) In(C0) n(C1)/(1 +p)] where CO is his current period consumption, CI is his future period consumption and ρ is his subject rate of time preference. Let ρ be 5%. If Mingsong is endowed with $100 this period and $100 in the next period. And suppose the risk-free interest rate is 10%. What is Mingsongs optimal consumption path (i.e., the optimal level of current and future consumption) if he can only allocate wealth through lending and borrowing?](http://img.homeworklib.com/questions/e98c5c30-7053-11ea-ae50-25f84dfd70ff.png?x-oss-process=image/resize,w_560)
