Calculating Maximum Present Consumption
Impact of Interest Rates on Present Consumption
An individual has no income today but expects to receive $180 next year. If the interest rate for borrowing is 80%, this individual can consume exactly $100 today while having $0 available for consumption next year.
Calculating Implied Interest Rate
An individual has no income today but is guaranteed to receive an income of $200 in the next period. Match each potential interest rate for borrowing with the corresponding maximum amount of money they could consume today, assuming they will have $0 left for future consumption.
The Trade-off Between Present and Future Consumption
An individual, who has no income today but is guaranteed to receive $100 in one year, decides to borrow money for consumption today at an interest rate of 78%. If they choose to consume the maximum possible amount today, how will their $100 of future income be allocated to repay the loan?
