Consider a community with ten individuals. Individuals have a budget of 20 dollars. Each individual can either spend money on police (P) or private consumption (c). has the utility function U (ci, P) In(P) where P-phs means P is a public good. If the price of police are 20, and the price of consumption is 2. What is the total amount of police employed across all 10 individuals? 10 Question 4 1 pts Consider th:onnmity.

Consider a consumer who derives utility from two goods: consumption (Good C) and leisure (Good H, in hours). The consumer has a total of L hours available. The consumer's income comes from time spent at work, which pays a wage of w per hour. Assume the three activities are mutually exclusive: While at work, the consumer cannot spend time on leisure or consumption. (a) What is the consumer's budget constraint? (b) Assuming the consumer's utility function is U(c,h)=a*ln(c)+(1-a)ln(h), derive the...

2. Consider an economy of identical individuals who earn a wage w while working and nothing when they don't. With probability 0 < p < 1, the individuals become unemployed and earn nothing. When unemployed, individuals get an employment insurance (EI) benefit of b from the government. When working, individuals pay a tax of t ∗ w to ?nance the EI program. Assume that agents have no other source of consumption in either state. Let u(c) = ln(c) denote the...

) Suppose that two individuals, Jon and David, form a community and would like to construct a communal fort that would protect them from attacks. They both consume good X, a private good, and the protection of the fort, P. One unit of good X costs 1 unit of currency, and one unit of P costs 2 units of currency. Both Jon and David have an income of 100 and a utility function of the form: U = log(Xi) +...

6. Consider an individual whose utility function over money is u(w)= 1+2w2. (a) Is the individual risk-averse, risk-neutral, or risk-loving? Does it depend on w? (b) Suppose the individual has initial wealth ¥W and faces the possible loss of Y". The probability that the loss will occur is .

2. Consider an economy with three consumcrs A, B and C, who derive satisfaction from their joint consumption of a public good G and their respective consumption of a private good Y*. The utility function for person A, B and C of the Cobb-Douglas functional form is as follows The unit cost of the public good is S10 and the unit cost of the private good is S1. Individual income levels in money terms are$30, $50, and$20. By taking into...

There are 800 consumers in an economy that each have the same utility function given by U(c, l) = 32√ c − (24 − l)2 where c is their consumption and l is the number of hours they spend for leisure. A single firm serves the market with production function Y = 32L1/2K1/2 . The firm cannot choose its capital stock, which is fixed at K = 1600. You can assume the price level is equal to 1 so real...
