Solution

To draw the graph, follow these steps:

Step 1: Draw the budget line The budget line is given by the equation s = (I - pm*m)/ps. Substituting the given values, we get s = (100 - 2m)/10. This is a straight line with a slope of -1/5 and a y-intercept of 10.

Step 2: Draw the indifference curve The indifference curve is given by the equation s = U - 2√m. To draw this curve, we need to find the utility level at the optimal bundle. Substituting m* = 25 and s* = 5 into the utility function, we get U = 2√25 + 5 = 15. So, the indifference curve is given by s = 15 - 2√m. This is a downward sloping curve that becomes flatter as m increases.

Step 3: Mark the optimal bundle The optimal bundle (m*, s*) = (25, 5) is the point where the budget line is tangent to the indifference curve. Mark this point on the graph.

Please note that as a text-based AI, I'm unable to physically draw the graph. However, you can follow these steps to draw it yourself.

Draw a diagram showing Lucy’s optimal bundle, clearly depicting her budget set and the indifference curve where the optimal bundle lies.

a) Assume Jamaal can work up to 60 hours per week at a rate of$10per hour, and that because of a government subsidy, Jamaal has$200in unearned income per week. Draw Jamaal's budget constraint showing how much Leisure (L) and Consumption (Y) he can have. Label both axes with values and titles. Call this Line A. Assume that Jamaal is a leisure lover and at his preferred bundle he works for 10 hours. Label this point A and draw an indifference curve for this bundle labeledU A​ . How much does he earn? (b) Now assume that the cost of child care for Jamaal's daughter is$100per week which he pays only if he works any hours>0. Re-draw his budget constraint on the same graph and label it Line B. What effect will this cost likely have on the amount of labor Jamaal supplies assuming both consumption and leisure are normal goods? Talk about this in terms of income and substitution effects. If Jamaal preferred to work 10 hours in the case of no child care costs, how many hours do you think he will work now? (c) Now assume that Jamaal's employer is willing to pay$3.33of Jamaal's child care expenses for every hour he works, but only if he works 30 hours or more. Now re-draw Jamaal's budget constraint and label it clearly as Line C. Given what you drew for your previous indifference curves, how do you think this will affect Jamaal's consumption of Leisure and Market Goods? Will he work more, less or the same? Explain why.Thanks in advance!Skip questionStart SolvingExitExitQnA
