es that Shelly’s marginal utility of leisure is C – 100 and her marginal utility of consumption is L – 40. There are 110 (non-sleeping) hours in the week available to split between work and leisure. Shelly earns $10 per hour after taxes. She also receives $320 worth of welfare benefits each week regardless of how much she works.
(a) Graph Shelly's budget line.
(b) What is Shelly's marginal rate of substitution when L=100 and she is one her budget line?

Answer:

Explanation:

U(C, L) = (C – 100) × (L – 40)

(a) C = (w - t)[110 - L] + 320

C = 10[110 - L] + 320

C + 10L = 1420

where,

C- consumption

w - wages

t - taxes

L - Leisure

(b) Given that,

L = 100 then,

C = 420

MRS=\frac{MU_{L} }{MU_{C} }

MRS=\frac{C-100 }{L-40}

MRS=\frac{320}{60}

              = 5.33

(c) L = 110

C = 320

Reservation wage:

MRS=\frac{C-100 }{L-40}

MRS=\frac{220}{70}

= 3.14

(d) At optimal level,

\frac{C-100}{L-40}=\frac{10}{1}

C - 100 = 10L - 400

C - 10L = -300

C = 10L - 300

Using budget constraint:

C + 10L = 1420

10L - 300 + 10L = 1420

20L = 1720

L* = 86 and C* = 560

Ivahew [28]

It protects domestic producers from foreign competition. Overseas goods are generally very cheap compared to locally produced goods, which can destroy a business from the market and can make foreign companies be the leader of the market, who can control the price and quality of the product. Therefore, it very helpful to the local producer in sustaining and generating profit in the market.
