Marco's Feasible Frontier for Lending at 20%
Marco's feasible frontier for lending at a 20% interest rate is represented by a downward-sloping straight line originating from his endowment at (100, 0). This line connects his endowment point to the point (0, 120) on the 'consumption later' axis, illustrating all possible combinations of present and future consumption if he lends some or all of his initial $100.

An individual has $200 available today. They can consume it now or lend any portion of it at an interest rate of 10% to be repaid in the future. Which of the following combinations of 'consumption now' and 'consumption later' is not in their feasible set?
Financial Planning with Interest
Impact of Interest Rate Changes on Consumption Possibilities
An individual's 'feasible frontier' shows all possible combinations of consumption today and consumption in the future, given an initial amount of money and an opportunity to lend. Match each financial scenario below with the correct maximum possible amount of consumption in the future (assuming all initial money is lent).
An individual has an initial amount of money and can either consume it today or store it for future consumption. They are then offered a new option: they can lend any portion of the money at a positive interest rate. True or False: This new lending opportunity reduces the total set of possible consumption combinations available to the individual.
Comparing Financial Strategies
An individual has an initial endowment of $500 to be consumed either today or in the future. They have the opportunity to lend any portion of this money at an interest rate of 15%. If this individual chooses to consume $200 today, the maximum amount they can have for consumption in the future is $____.
Comparing Investment Opportunities
An individual has an initial endowment of money to be consumed either today or in one year. They also have the opportunity to lend any portion of it at a fixed interest rate. Arrange the following steps in the correct logical order to construct the 'feasible frontier' that represents all possible combinations of consumption today and consumption in one year.

Marco's Optimal Lending Choice at Point D
An individual has an endowment of $200 for consumption now and has the opportunity to lend any portion of it at a 10% interest rate to fund consumption in the future. The horizontal axis represents 'consumption now' and the vertical axis represents 'consumption later'. Which of the following combinations of consumption now and consumption later is NOT a point on this individual's feasible frontier?
Interpreting the Feasible Frontier's Slope
Evaluating a Consumption Plan's Feasibility
An individual's consumption possibilities over two periods are represented by a feasible frontier on a graph where the horizontal axis is 'consumption now' and the vertical axis is 'consumption later'. Match each scenario, defined by an initial endowment and a lending interest rate, to the correct description of its feasible frontier.
An individual has an endowment of $100 to be consumed now and can lend any portion of it at a constant 20% interest rate. The feasible frontier representing all possible combinations of 'consumption now' and 'consumption later' is a curve that bows outwards from the origin.
An individual has an initial endowment of $500 for consumption in the present period and can lend any portion of this amount at an interest rate of 15%. If this individual decides to lend their entire endowment, the maximum amount they can have for consumption in the future period is $____.
An individual starts with an endowment of wealth entirely in the present and has the opportunity to lend some or all of it at a fixed interest rate. Arrange the following steps in the correct logical order to determine the feasible frontier for their 'consumption now' versus 'consumption later'.
Impact of Interest Rate Changes on Consumption Possibilities
Evaluating a Financial Advisor's Claim
An individual's feasible set of consumption choices is represented by a straight line on a graph where the horizontal axis is 'consumption now' and the vertical axis is 'consumption later'. This line, which shows all possible combinations if the individual lends some of their initial wealth, passes through two specific points: (Consumption Now = $80, Consumption Later = $22) and (Consumption Now = $50, Consumption Later = $55). Based on this information, what is the interest rate at which this individual can lend?
