10 POINTS. Consider the two-period firm optimization problem. Suppose that the only factor of production is capital (no labor is used in production). The production function is y-zK" in the current period and y'-z'K'? in the future period, where z, z, and K are given exogenously and the parameter ? < 1. Real profits are ?-y-1 in the current period and ?-y, + (1- d)K'in the future period. The firm seeks to maximize the present value of lifetime discounted profits,...

A monopolist has a production function 27 (L-2)(K+1) Q(L,K) where L, Kis the amount of labor and capital. The wage rate is denoted by w and the rental rate of capital is denoted by r. The inverse demand function the monopolist is faced with is given by P = 12- 3Q where P is the market price and Q is the quantity sold. 13. Write down the optimization problem of the monopolist. 14.

Question 1. (Consumption-Saving Problem): Suppose that a consumer lives for two periods. The utility function of the consumer is given by 1-1 1-1 with μ > 0 where c1 and c2 are consumption in period 1 and period 2 respectively (Portfolio Choice Problem) Now suppose that the consumer can save in terms of two instruments: financial savings (s) and capital investment (k). Capital investment done in period 1 yields output ka with 0 < α < 1 in period 2....

Consider a Diamond model, where we set the productivity factor At to unity (1) in all periods. The working population. Lt, grows at rate n, i.e., Lt+1-(1 + n) Lt. Lower-case letters denote per-worker terms, e.g earned (from labor) in the first period of life (wi) is spent on saving (St) and first-period consumption (C1t). The first-period budget constraint can thus be written Ki/Lt. Agents live for two perioo In retirement, the same agent consumes C2t+1, consisting of savings from...

1. The production function for ACME WIDGETS is given by Q = 30 K^0.65 L^0.25 , where Q is the number of widgets ACME produces in a month, K is the number of units of capital input and L is the number of units of labor input ACME uses to produce their widgets. The price per unit of capital input is p K = $ 4 , 000 and the price per unit of labor input is p^L = $...
