Question: Suppose that Yokos utility function for inter-temporal consumption is: U(C 0 ,C 1 ) = [ln(C 0 )] + [ln(C 1 )]/(1+) where C 0
Suppose that Yokos utility function for inter-temporal consumption is:
U(C0,C1) = [ln(C0)] + [ln(C1)]/(1+)
where C0 is his current period consumption, C1 is his future period consumption and (=10%) is his subject rate of time preference. If Dipo is endowed with m0 = $1000 this period and m1 = $50 in the next period. Suppose the risk-free interest rate is 3%. What is his optimal consumption path (i.e., the optimal level of current and future consumption) if he can only allocate wealth through lending and borrowing (C0,C1)?
- C0=567.0365; C1=530.9524
- C0=549.2372 , C1=514.2857:
- C0=1050; C1=0
- C0=1000; C1=50
