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. Jade is deciding how much to work in 2020. She derives utility from consumption,C, but she also really likes taking leisure time L. She must divide her available hours between work and leisure. For every hour of leisure she takes, she must work one fewer hours (meaning that the price of leisure is her hourly wage). The function that describes her preferences is given by The marginal utilities are U(C, L) = C(1/2)L(1/2) MUC = 1C(−1/2)L(1/2)2 MUL = 1C(1/2)L(−1/2)2...
