Assume that Anne's wage is 8 units an hour, and she has 12 hours a day to either stay at home or spend working. a). Derive her budget constraint and illustrate it on the well-labelled graph. Also, illustrate Anne's indifference curve if, given that wage, she prefers to work 7 hours a day. Please show all your steps and label the graphs. b). Now, assume that Anne's wage got increased to 10 units an hour, and substitution effect is greater than income effect. Derive a new budget constraint and illustrate all those changes in the graph. Please show all your steps and label the graphs. c). Now assume, that our Anne has inherited a nice condo and decided to start renting it out (this is to say, that she got some non-earned income). The level of this income is equivalent to 30 units of market output. Illustrate this on a graph and now assume that Anne decided to go back to working only 7 hours a day. Please explain and show all your steps and label the graphs.

Consider Alexei who makes $1,400 per week and just won a ‘set for life’ lottery ticket whichinvolves a fortnightly payment of $10,000 for 20 years. Currently he works 35 hours per week. Nowdo the following:• Illustrate the effect of the lottery win on Alexei’s budget constraint using a fully labelleddiagram where i) the horizontal axis represents the hours of free time per week, and ii) thevertical axis represents Alexei’s weekly consumption.• Illustrate on the same diagram Alexei’s optimal decisions before and after the lottery winalong with his indifference curves.
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. It is noted that the income effect (IE)causes the labour supply to change by 1 hour and the substitution effect (SE) causes thelabour supply to change by 2 hours. How to draw in diagram, to show the IE and SE?

. An individual's utility function is given by u = 1000 x, + 450 x. + 5x, x. - 2x-x where x, is the amount of leisure measured in hours per week and x,is income earned measured in cedis per week. Det er mine the value of the marginal utilities, when x, = 138 and x= 500. Hence est imate the change in utility if the individual works for an extra hour, which increa ses earned income by GH¢ 15 per week. Does the law of diminishing ut ility hold for this function? %3D

Sameena works as a free-lance worker at a software house in Rawalpindi. Supposeshe keeps awake for 110 hours a week. Also suppose that part of this time she canspend on earning money doing this job and using it for her consumption, and the restof the time she can spend on her leisure not earning money. At first she earns Rs.550for every hour she works. Draw a figure showing Saima’s budget constraint, herindifference curve for consumption and leisure and her optimum.
