Consider two individuals, Carole and Mo, who each have a job opportunity that pays a wage of $20 per hour and allows them to choose the number of hours per week they'd like to work. Carole has stronger preferences for leisure than Mo. Ultimately, both Carole and Mo choose to work more than zero hours per week. Draw (and upload) one graph that includes: • Carole and Mo's income-leisure constraint • Carole's utility-maximizing indifference curve (Uc) and choice of leisure hours (l) • Mo's utility-maximizing indifference curve (UM) and choice of leisure hours (IM)

Carole has stronger preferences for leisure than Mo. Ultimately, both Carole and Mo choose to work more than zero hours per week.

Focus on ensuring that the constraint, indifference curves and hours worked align with the information provided above.]Hannah’s wage rate is initially $10 per hour and she maximises her utility by supplying 8hours of work. Subsequently, her wage rate increases to $15 per hour and her newequilibrium position corresponds to 9 hours of work.

- Janie works for an accounting firm. Her wage increased from $30 per hour to $40 per hour. She can work up to 50 hours each week. The table below shows her utility from different levels of leisure and income. Before her raise, if Janie decreases her hours of work from 30 to 20 hours per week, the marginal utility gain from having more leisure is: Hours of Leisure Total Utility from Leisure Income Total Utility from Income 0 0 0 0 10 29 300 40 20 54 400 72 30 75 600 96 40 86 800 108 50 92 900 116 1200 120 1500 122 1600 124 2000 125 Question 4 options: 29 21 13 7Suppose that the owner of Boyer Construction is feeling the pinch of incrs associated with worker’s compensation and has decided to cut the wages of its two employees (Albert and Sid) from $25 per hour to $22 per hour. Assume that Albert and Sid view income and leisure as “goods,” that both experience a diminishing rate of marginal substitution between income and leisure, and that the workers have the same before- and after-tax budget constraints at each wage. Draw each worker’s opportunity set for each hourly wage. At the wage of $25 per hour, both Albert and Sid are observed to consume 12 hours of leisure (and, equivalently, supply 12 hours of labor). After wages were cut to $22, Albert consumes 10 hours of leisure and Sid consumes 14 hours of leisure. Determine the number of hours of labor each worker supplies at a wage of $22 per hour. How can you explain the seemingly contradictory result that the workers supply a different number of labor hours? (LO2, LO3, LO7)Discuss the possible substitution effect and the income effect of an increase in income on leisure time.
- Rebecca's wage is $10 per hour, and she can work up to 60 hours per week.
