Suppose John has 24 hours in a day. He can spend his time either working at his job where he earns $20 per hour, or he could spend it doing leisure (everything else, including sleeping). a) Using the labor-leisure choice model, draw a graph that shows his optimum labor supply would be 10 hours a day (with $0 non-labor income). Make sure your graph is completely labeled. b) On the same graph, show what would happen if he receives $100 a day in non-labor income. Breifly explain what is happening in words.
what happens in the work-leisure model, when the wage rate is decreasing and income effect is stronger than substitution effect?
1) What would be the substitution effect and the income effect of a wage increase? 2) What do you think accounts for the wide range of savings rates in different countries
True or False 1. If leisure and consumption are normal goods, the labor supply curve is more likely to be backward bending when the consumer views leisure and consumption to be more substitutable for one another.
(Based on Chapter 2, Problem 1 of Benjamin et al., 2031) Amit has $2000 of annual non-labour income. He has 80 hours per week that he can allocate between labour and leisure, for 80 x 52 = 4160 hours per year. His current wage rate is $20 per hour and he chooses to work 2200 hours a year. (a) Draw a leisure - labour diagram, clearly indicating Amit's current labour supply decision. (Your diagram should be clearly labeled and include Amit's budget line and an indifferent curve showing his leisure and consumption of goods and services at his optimal choice. Use the figures provided to find the y-intercept and his consumption if he doesn't work.) (b) Amit's wage rate increases to $25 per hour. In response, he increases his labour supply to 2300 hours. If he were "compensated" accordingly, at this new wage rate he would be just indifferent to working 2200 hours at his original wage rate and working 2400 hours at the new wage. Illustrate Amit's new optimal choice. Use the information…
Consider the labor–leisure budget constraint curve on the graph. This curve shows trade‑offs between income and leisure that must be made over the course of one week. Assume there are no artificial barriers to limits on hours worked and that the wage is $25 per hour. Determine the vertical and horizontal intercepts. vertical intercept: $ horizontal intercept: h
The lines on the graph are budget constraints, showing the tradeoff between labor and leisure. Suppose that when the wage changes, an individual chooses to move from point A to another point on the graph. For each of the other points, where would it belong on the backward bending labor supply curve? Backward‑bendingportionVerticalportionUpward‑slopingportion Answer Bank B D F C E
What happens to hours of work when the wage rate falls? Decompose the change in hours of work into income and substitution effects.

Akua gains utility from consumption C and leisure L. The most leisure she can consume in any given week is 110 hours. Her utility function is U (C, L) = C × L. Akua receives 660 GHS each week from her great-grandmother—regardless of how much she works. a. What will be Akua’s marginal rate of substitution. b. What will be Akua’s reservation wage?
