Mr. Cog in Problem 7 has 18 hours a day to divide between labor and leisure. If he has 16 dollars of nonlabor income per day and gets a wage rate of 7 dollars per hour when he works, his budget equation, expressing combinations of consumption and leisure that he can afford to have, can be written as

Suppose that Mario in Problem 2 consumes eggplants and tomatoes in the ratio of 1 bushel of eggplants per 1 bushel of tomatoes. His garden yields 30 bushels of eggplants and 10 bushels of tomatoes. He initially faced prices of $10 per bushel for each vegetable, but the price of eggplants rose to $20 per bushel, while the price of tomatoes stayed unchanged. After the price change, he would

Dudley, in Problem 15, has a utility function U(C, R) = C - (12 - R)², where R is leisure and C is consumption per day. He has 16 hours per day to divide between work and leisure. If Dudley has a nonlabor income of $20 per day and is paid a wage of $8 per hour, how many hours of leisure will he choose per day?
