A low-skill worker in the U.S. might expect to earn $600k in a lifetime. Going to 3 year college would cost him $70,000 in tuition and living expenses and $30,000 in forgone earnings. People graduating from college have a 70% chance of earning $2M in a lifetime and a 30% chance of earning $600k (ie, the same as the low skilled wage.) 6. What is the expected value of an investment in education in the US? 7. Assuming risk aversion, show the average person's expected utility in from investing in education in an equation, and with a suitably labelled graph. Compare to the utility from not educating.

She has no other income, but can work at a weekly wage rate of $600 for a maximum of 52 weeks. Receipt of benefits from the social security program is retirement-tested.

In the upcoming year, the income from your current job will be $50,000. There is a 0.5 chance that you will keep your job and eam this income, and 0.2 chance that you will get a rise and earn 75,000. However, there is 0.3 chance that you will be laid off, putting you out of work for a time and forcing you to accept a lower paying job. In this case, your income is $25.000. The expected value of your income is thus $47,500. a) If your utility function has the formula 5001 - 0.0002/, determine the risk premium associated with this lottery. b) Provide an interpretation of the risk premium in this particular example.

- Pls help with below homework. Why do social workers care about stringency of eligability? What sorts of things does stringency of eligibility refer to?A worker plans to retire at the age of 65, at which time he will start collecting his retirement benefits. Then there is a sudden change in the forecast of inflation when the worker is 63 years old. In particular, inflation is now predicted to be higher than it had been expected so that the average price level of market goods and wages is now expected to be higher. What effect does this announcement have on the person’s preferred retirement agea. If retirement benefits are fully adjusted for inflation?b. If retirement benefits are not fully adjusted for inflation?Say a worker has a time endowment of 80 hours a week that can be allocated between labour and leisure. The hourly wage is 10 euros an hour. There is no non labour income. (a) Draw the workers budget line (b) Say a UBI scheme of 100 euros a week is introduced. Show how this will affect the budget line. (c) Now say the UBI scheme is financed by a 50% tax rate on all income (excluding the UBI payment). Draw the budget line (d) Now say there is no tax but a welfare payment which can only be claimed by those not working any hours is introduced instead of the UBI. Draw the budget line in this case
