Question

Rohan is a single father. He is deciding how many hours to work while taking care of his infant. He can work a maximum of 16 hours a day at $20/hour - and whenever he is working, he needs to get a babysitter for $10/hour. As part of his union contract, Rohan's employer gives him $20/day in babysitting expenses as long as Rohan works at all that day. Finally, Rohan's personal savings provide him with a daily average of $100/day. A. Draw Rohan's budget constraint for leisure versus consumption. Here "leisure" just means not working for pay – and hence includes taking care of his child. B. Rohan's utility function is U(C,L) = 100*ln(L) + C. Where L is the leisure, how many hours of paid work should Rohan choose? What would be his consumption level
