2. Susan can choose between two different inheritance bundles: Bundle A con- sists of $100 tomorrow and $10 today. Bundle B consists of $30 tomorrow and $60 today. Susan can borrow and lend money at an interest rate of 15%. Consumption goods cost $1 per unit today and there is no inflation. (a) What is the present value of each of the two bundles? What is the future value? (b) Which bundle do you think Susan should choose? Why? (c)...

Sally consumes two goods, X and Y. Her preferences over consumption bundles are repre- sented by the utility function r, y)- .5,2 where denotes the quantity of good X and y denotes the quantity of good Y. The current market price for X is px 10 while the market price for Y is Pr = $5. Sally's current income is $500. (a) Write the expression for Sally's budget constraint. (1 point) (b) Find the optimal consumption bundle that Sally will...

Rosie makes fudge using two ingredients, sugar and chocolate. She prefers to have more of both goods, but she also prefers similar quantities of each; otherwise the fudge is too sweet or too bitter. In fact, her preferences are given by the utility function U(S,C) = S 1/2 + C 1/2 . A. What is Rosie’s preference between the bundle (4,16) and (16,4)? (Note that the consumption bundle is (# units of sugar, # units of chocolate)). What is Rosie’s...

3. Craig likes both apples and bananas. He consumes nothing else. The consumption bundle where Craig consumes x, bushels of apples per year and Xg bushels of bananas per year is written as (X4, Xg). Last year, Craig consumed 20 bushels of apples and 5 bushels of bananas. It happens that the set of consumption bundles (XA, Xg) such that Craig is indifferent between (XA, Xg) and 0,5) is the set of all bundles such that Xg = 100/XA. The...

Question 1: You offer Donny the choice between two bundles of Coffee (C) and Muffins (M). The options are (C,M) = (6,4)and(C,M) = (8,2), and Donny indicates he prefers the second option. (a) Write a utility function for Donny that is consistent with his choice. Suppose you offer him a third option of (C,M) = (7,6) in addition to the original two, and that Donny indicates he prefers this third option to the first two. (b) Write a utility function...

Shelly’s preferences for consumption and leisure can be expressed as U(C, L) = (C – 100) (L – 40). This utility function implies that Shelly’s marginal utility of leisure is C – 100 and her marginal utility of consumption is L – 40. There are 110 (non-sleeping) hours in the week available to split between work and leisure. Shelly earns $10 per hour after taxes. She also receives $320 worth of welfare benefits each week regardless of how much...
