(i) Keith’s marginal utility of leisure is C – 20 and his marginal utility of consumption is L – 50. There are 110 hours in the week available to split between work and leisure. Keith receives £250 of welfare payments each week regardless of how much he works (assume he spends all of his welfare payments on consumption). What is Keith’s reservation wage?


(ii) Suppose Danny receives the same welfare payments each week as Keith and has the same number of available hours (110). However, Danny’s indifference curve is flatter than Keith’s. How would his reservation wage compare to Keith’s? Why?
