Consider Hitoshi who lives for two periods. In period 1, he is young and in period 2 he is old. He enjoys consuming, ct, and experiences distutility from labour, nt, according to the following preference function: U(c_{1}, c_{2}, n_{1}, n_{2}) = 2c_{1} ^ 0.5 + 2beta * c_{2} ^ 0.5 - 0.5n_{1} ^ 2 - 0.5beta * n_{2} ^ 2 He earns income from supplying labour in period 1 of winy and in period 2 of w2n2. Any saving he earns in period I can earn a return of (1+r₁) that is paid out to him at the beginning of period 2. He also knows when he is young that he will receive an inheritence of a2 in period 2. a) Write out Hitoshi's one and two-period budget constraints.
