Draw the budget constraint between “leisure hours” on the horizontal axis and “wage income” on the vertical when the wage rate is $40 per hour. Mark an optimum point A that is meaningful. Draw a new budget constraint when the wage rate falls to $30 per hour. Show a new optimum point B. On your indifference curve diagram, decompose the effect of the wage decrease into a “substitution effect” and an “income effect” (What is the direction of the substitution effect, that is, what happens to leisure or work? Assuming leisure is a “normal good”, what is the direction of the income effect?) What can you say about the “net effect” of the wage decrease on your leisure choice? Also provide economic explanations of your decomposition results. |

Draw a graph with leisure on the horizontal axis and income on the vertical axis. Assume 320 discretionary hours in a month, that can be used for labor or leisure, and that the wage is $10 an hour. Draw the budget constraint, and an indifference curve corresponding to choosing a full time 160 hour a month job. Label earnings. Assume the family would qualify for $600 in TANF benefits each month if hours of labor are zero. The program offers a $225 earned...

A worker receives a wage rate w and has L hours of leisure every day (the total endowment of hours is 24 hours per day). The government taxes his income at the constant rate T. The worker spends all his income. 1. Write a budget constraint of this individual and plot it. 2. Display graphically what is the optimal consumption-leisure choice for this worker. 3. Imagine that the government increases the tax rate to T 0 . What is the...

(Problem 1d). Leandro has 16 hours per day that he can allocate to work or leisure. His job pays a wage rate of $20. Leandro decides to consume 8 hours of leisure. His indifference curves have the usual shape: they slope downward, they do not cross, and they have the characteristic convex shape. Draw Leandro's time allocation budget line for a typical day, with income on the vertical axis and hours of leisure on the horizontal axis. Leandro's decision to...

Draw the yearly budget constraint between leisure and income for a worker that can earn $40/hr. Assume there are 365 days available each year, and each day has up to 16 hours available for work or leisure (8 hours is sleep). Answer the following questions: What is the person’s endowment? What is the vertical intercept of the budget constraint? What is the slope of the BC? What is the slope of the new BC if the worker now has 50%...

Question 2: in the figure below you can find two budget constraints and two indifference curves for Dan. Initially, Dan's hourly wage is $10, and he chooses bundle A on IC1, and enjoys 13 hours of leisure. When the wage increases to $12, he prefers bundle B on IC2, and enjoys 11 hours of leisure In a manner similar to Figure 2.7 on page 27 of the textbook, draw the income effect and substitution effect for leisure when the wage...
