Suppose Richard has the following utility function over leisure and consumption:

U(C, L) = C × (L − 56)

where C is units of consumption and L is hours of leisure consumption per week. Richard receives $100 in Welfare benefits per week. The price of a unit is equal to 1. There are 168 hours in a week.

(a) Richard receives $100 in Welfare benefits per week. The price of a unit of consumption is equal to $1 per unit of consumption. Determine if the following statement is either True or False and provide supporting evidence. A wage of $.90 per hour is sufficient to induce Richard to supply a non-zero quantity of labor per week.

(b) Suppose the wage is $10 per hour. Determine the optimal bundle of consumption and leisure as well as the number of hours worked.
