Preferences arc given by U (ct, ct+1)=log (ct) + 0.8.log (ct+1). (a) Write down the maximization problem for this individual. (b) Solve the maximization problem and find current consumption, future consumption and savings (or assets). (c) What would be the consumption and savings decision if current income was $1,000 and future income $3,000? (d) How would your response to parts (b) and (c) change if the interest rate were 20%?
