Consider a one period economy in which the representative consumer has preferences over leisure (l) and consumption (c) described by the utility function

u(c, l) = c0.5l0.5

This consumer has 1 unit of time h to spend between leisure, l, and labor supply, Ns. The representative firm’s production function is Y = zNd where Nd is labor demand and z = 2 is total factor productivity. The government buys one unit of consumption good, meaning that, G = 1.

2. (b) Find the Production possibility frontier (PPF) equation.

3. (c) From the firm’s maximization problem, find the consumer’s real wage and firm’s profits.
