Denise has utility over consumption c and leisure l defined by the following function:
U(c, l) = c + l
a) Suppose Denise has two units of consumption and three units of leisure. What is her utility?
b) Suppose Denise has four units of consumption and one unit of leisure. What is her utility?
c) Graph her indifference curves. Draw at least three separate indifference curves, for U = {2, 4, 6}. Label your axes accordingly.
Homework Answers
a) Utility at C = 2 and L = 3 is U = 2 + 3 = 5 units
b) Utility at C = 4 and L = 1 is U = 4 + 1 = 5 units
c) Since consumption and leisure are two goods with perfect substitution the indifference curves are straight lines.

Robinson Crusoe’s preferences over coconut consumption, C, and leisure, R, are represented by the utility function U(C, R) = CR. There are 48 hours available for Robinson to allocate between labor and leisure. If he works L hours, he will produce 2√? of coconuts. a) Draw a graph showing Robinson’s production function. On the same graph sketch Robinson’s indifference curves over labor and coconuts. (Remember that labor is a bad.) b) Calculate the equilibrium prices and allocation. Draw the isoprofit...

2. Vera's utility over consumption (that is, all goods and services that she buys), C, and leisure (work- free time), L, is U(CL)-CL. Her hourly wage is w=10 €. Suppose that she can work for 24 hours a day if she wants to and that the price of consumption is p . (a) How many units of consumption can Vera buy in a day if she works non-stop? What if she works 24-L...

1. Rachel has a labor-leisure utility function given by U(L, C) = 4L(C + 24) where the marginal utility of consumption is 4L and the marginal utility of leisure is 4C + 96. After taxes, she makes $12 per hour and has 16 hours a day to work or consume leisure. (a) What is her budget constraint? Graph it. Show on the graph where her optimal bundle would be (Hint: You don’t need to solve anything. Just be general). (b)...

Clark gains utility from consumption c and leisure l and his preferences for consumption and leisure can be expressed as U(c, l) = 2(√ c)(l). This utility function implies that Clark’s marginal utility of leisure is 2√ c and his marginal utility of consumption is l √ c . He has 16 hours per day to allocate between leisure (l) and work (h). His hourly wage is $12 after taxes. Clark also receives a daily check of $30 from the...

Suppose Tom has a utility function U=C*L C= consumption L= hours of leisure Tom has 100 hours to divide between work and leisure per week wage is $20/hr 1. Write down budget constraint in terms of consumption and hours of work 2.Tom make decisions on hours of work, leisure and consumption to max. utility. Explain why we can collapse this problem to one in which he chooses hours of leisure only 3. Find optimal hours of work and total consumption...

1. Janet's utility depends on consumption c and leisure l. She earns a wage equal to w per hour, has an investment income equal to M(greater than or equal to) 0 and needs to sleep at least 8 hours a night. Normalize the price of consumption goods at $1.
